Great looking setup. Excellent choice of wheels and offsets. I have a black 991.2 TT and I'm also looking at FI-R. What finish did you go with? Also, what size MPSS tires are you using?

Thank you. Charlie I went with Platinum Gloss and used the factory size tires with the 245 upfront and the 305 in the rear. I did this in large part because I just bought new tires recently and wanted to reuse them. When I replace I would probably change the fronts to a 255 per the recommendation of a few members.

Look at the detail/carve outs between the spokes.. A bit wider spokes with really cool carve outs... love them.

Steve There are a a couple of variables but pricing is relatively close once you get to HRE and BBS forged wheels. The HRE's are slightly more. HRE offers more customization with offsets and colors. Supreme Power who advertises on Rennlist I believe is the only AD who sells BBS in custom colors. BBS only offers one offset for these, which is perfect. BBS also manufactures their wheels in house from start to finish and even has their own foundry. They also publish their process and documentation unlike some of the other guys. HRE's are nice but if you want the real deal go BBS. The retail for these is $2,110 for the fronts and $2,260 for the rears or $8,740 plus tax and $150 for shipping typically.

I see you are in Frisco, if you want to see them in person let me know.

I'm a fan of the P101's...HRE makes a great (and should for the price) product; having said that, the BBS FI series is very, very special; and FWIW I prefer it over the fabulous P101.
