Default My new HRE P40's

I traded in my P40's for some new ones in charcoal with polished face:






Looks more dramatic in the flesh. I also might get some better matching (more polished silver) wheel centres.

well done Alex!! I am a sucker for p40s as well.
Yes the center caps will be a bit hard to match. Perhaps factory ones from the turbo have a bit of a polish on them. I think yours are being with gold crests are not the same color as the turbo wheels. If I am not mistaken those only come with the black outline crests.

Charcoal inners are a great idea for break dust... but you dont have any!!

Enjoy.

cool. I love the look of that car

how is the ride, especially over bumps and wavy pavement, with springs alone?

I am kind of amazed that so many people run springs only on this car. I have done that on an old m3 and it was HORRIBLE

thanks for any insight

Looks sweet. Doesn't look to be lowered much.

Those are some nice wheels. Normally I prefer the stock look, but those are gorgeous!

Alex, The wheels and the car really look nice. Can you please tell us the specs: OD, width, offset/backspace/any spacers? And the tire size...I am going to get the same style wheels...Is your car lowered?

I am glad that Bluecrab noticed this thread!
