TT-911

Will fit but fronts are very wide.
Front track will increase by 32mm
Rear track by 6mm only.
Your car will behave completely different at speed because of this.

how about the 11.5 with et36? That just seems like the tire wouldn't even sit inside the wheel well

TT-911

Yes, that's too much.

Phillip look at the pictue above, black car with black inside of the stock wheels that is exactly what I had in mind. No need to photoshop, thanks to Porsche 25th. Thank you sir.

Nick,

That looks pretty cool. I like it... I do have some nicks in my rims that will require them to be removed from the car for repair. At that point I'll consider if I want to do anything (paint) to them..

It's amazing how big this thread has become! So many folks with "wheel lust"...

I may just leave the wheels alone for awhile and save my money for my exhaust. I'll sell my Tech Art Exhaust that I have now and that will help pay for the new one.. It's amazing how much money the 90mm stainless and the labor for bending the tubing costs.. Now I know why all the aftermarket makers charge $5 to $6k for an exhaust.

Thanks again for the wheel info!

Phillip

Agree if you have doubts your are better to pull the plug rather than have regrets later. I still quite like the design though and I'm sure they'd look better once on the car with tires. I recall the 11" in the HRE used an offset of 37 IIRC at the time i was tossing up between the P40 and Rf67. It just sounded an aggressive offset at the time even though I've seen the wheels in many photos on a 997tt. I asked a couple of days ago what the offsets are for the HRE because i wanted to confirm the info previously given. When i get a reply i'll let you know.

The HRE P40 are a good looking wheel as are the RG5 but both have been around for a while now. I just priced up some P40SC actually and like the weight advantage over the earlier wheels. I don't like the P40S though as they look to recessed in the hub area imo. The P43SC is also a great alternative with the new look and weight reduction. Pricey at the moment though, probably because they are still new out.

Well as I said, I respect others likes and dislikes and don't expect my likes to be everyone else's either. I've also never been one much for sugar coating for the sake of appeasement. I like to be clear and honest. Giving off mixed signals only confuses people I find. I see enough *** kissing going on over at 6 when folks should man up and be honest and not just say stuff they really don't mean for the sake of scoring a few rep points. I agree it's nice to express an opinion without causing offence to others but sometimes that's simply not possible if you want to remain honest, and IIRC you also have made your own clear remarks regarding your own thoughts on wheels and colour combinations earlier (Post #6 and #48) that could be considered equally impolite. Just saying...

Yellow pinstripe and gloss black definitely does not belong on this colour IMHO lol!!! ....while donning my flame suit....and shield

OK. Wait no longer. As i said those wheels are (to me) a clear act of vandalism punishable by law. Trying to match up a set of yellow callipers with a yellow pinstripe is clearly not happening as is the gloss black IMHO. Flamesuit on lol.

And the Europoipe droning? He must be talking EP2, not EP1, although going by the prancing horse avatar he's possibly a shill from Crapisto taking the opportunity to get the upper hand on a forum that sees lesser traffic and user reviews on these subjects. That could be the only logical reason behind the remarks. A friend of mine over on 6 got the Crapisto and had all sorts of issues so sent it back and bought an EP1. He was extremely happy afterward.

Keep the faith. You can definitely do way better than the stock wheels. You may need to revise the budget before making the next move.

Thanks Paul. Appreciate any feedback on the offset question. If an 11" with a et37 offset is on the border, I would have to think that an 11.5 with nearly the same offset is just too aggressive for my liking.

That HRE P43SC is gorgeous. Check out this pic on a silver 991



I am just frustrated at the moment....I will not give up the faith just yet. The search continues. I am actually contemplating going back to the Forgestars that I had on my 997S.

Yes i saw that one earlier over there but good to post it here on this thread as a reference point. THe ones shown on the 991 aren't as dished as the ones on the turbo either but they still look good. I'm a little torn between these and the P40SC's....price being the major sticking point. Both are nice but the 43's may be the cleaner look as they aren't as busy as the 40SC's. The "tinted" brushed as shown on the pic below are a different shade as the straight brushed.

I think I do prefer the tinted brushed on a silver car, but as we have clearly stated in this great post, that is completely subjective.
The ones on the 991 seem like they have less of a dish because they are 20s I believe vs 19s.
Paul, is there a price difference between the 40s and the 43s?? to what extent?

speed21

I believe the colour of those 991 P43SC rims are brushed, not tinted brushed. Don't forget the turbo with the wider rear P43SC's will always have more dish on the rear than the narrow body 991 too. Going by HRE's official colour chart the tinted brushed appears to be a more grey silver or titanium....not so blingy bright as the straight brushed. Again pictures can be deceiving going by the OP's take on his brushed tinted on that black TT where he said they looked brighter in the pictures. Tinted may be a good compromise though. And yes Nick agree that colours will always be subjective pending personal preference and more so what actually fits the colour of the car better. On the prices i will PM them once i have them rather than post them up. Hopefully will have something to work with in the next 24hrs along with offsets etc.

The tinted brushed finish that HRE has is a perfect wheel color for silver or gt silver. Forgestar makes one as well called titanium. They make a titanium brushed as well but it is more brilliant and blingy. I think this would look great on a 997 Turbo with the super concave you get with an 11 or 12" rear wheel.

The picture with the M3 shows the color well but the rear will be even more concaved on an 11 or 12" rear with aggessive offset.

The F14 Porsche wheels also accept stock center caps which is always a huge plus to me.

LonHRE

Keep in mind, the wheels above are not forged. That finish is what many call Hyper Silver, which is similar to our Gloss Silver.

The tinted finish definitely changes with the lighting. If you got any direct questions, feel free to contact us directly at LonM@hrewheels.com or call the office and ask for Sales Rep at 760-598-1960
