Those almost look like HRE P40SC's rather than RC103's - it looks great. Please share more photos with us!

Good point and you raise a valid argument...they look more like the P40 than the RC but neither are a perfect match. They came with the car when I purchased it (sight unseen) and there was no record on the purchase. Next month when I'm back at this garage I'm going to communicate the wheel serial numbers to HRE and draw the final verdict. The rims came with the car - they are superior to any rim I've owned. The color has darkened somewhat over time, but are a perfect compliment (IMHO) to the butterscotch painted calipers. Neither the wheel nor caliper colors jump off the car, but rather blend with the slate grey body.
P43S here. Look at the bowl shape around the lug holes and compare it to the P43SC below, you can tell it's the S model because of the cylindrical bowl that is apparent on these wheels.
Compare it to this. Also a dead giveaway if it was a SC model would be the HRE Engraving on the spoke. If you do not have that engraving like you see below, you've got the wheel above:

Actually, I think those are P43S's. They're not P40s', they're not P40SC's, they're not P43SC's, they're specifically P43S's which is the second generation of the P40 series (P40, then P40S, then P40SC). You can tell if you compare the P43S and P43SC side by side.

DIY coilover install
I just finished installing BC Racing coilovers. Took me the whole afternoon friday on the fronts and whole morning Saturday on the rears. I know wheel choice is unpopular but wanted something different with aggressiive offsets with a wider stepped up lip. This morning I decided to lower it further as I wasnt satisfied with the intial setting of 8 turns front and 15 turns rears to 12 turns fronts and 18 turns rears and subsequently made 2 clicks softer on dampening. These wheels are lighter than my 18 oem
