Nice. Are those P101s? What finish? And I'm in the "not like black wheels" camp.

My current wheels are white sport technos but thinking HRE come spring.

P40S in tinted finish. I don't think they are even a current wheel now.

Only the best people drive on HREs! ... I'm already imagining a set for the GTS, although I think I will go in the opposite direction from my GTS (silver OEM -> Black HRE)
and go with Silver/Platinum/Satin HREs...

You wouldn't think the half inch of polished metal would make that much difference, but it does. It gives separation between the wheel and tire. I don't particularly like the solid black wheels like those on the 991 GTS. The wheel and tire just blend together.
Yeah, I agree black with polished lip is much better looking...here's a picture of my ex 997 C2S with black wheels...now on 991 Cab I have the Classics and they are gorgeous and don't show the brake dust at all.
