I like the HRE's, nice upgrade and nice color choice.

I would change a few things on the car if I had it, first would be to go with a much lighter tint so you can see through the windows but still get the UV protection. I would also add carbon fiber mirrors to go with the gunmetal wheels.

Gun metal wheels will reduce brake dust visibility.

I like them, congrats.

Both are great. Those are the best OEM Porsche wheels in a while. I also have HRE P40s (P40SCs) and I love them, so you can't go wrong there... Beautiful car btw.

Those are my favorite stock wheels, but I really like the HREs as well. They look great on your car. I agree with Afshin on both counts, also.

In the first pic I'm amazed how close to the wall the person parked that car in unit 207.

I like them both! But why spend thousands to try to improve on something that is pretty damn sweet as it is in it's stock form?
