It's teasing me, I've got to track down 2 Pilot Sports and hope I can get the car re-aligned before I put them on in the next day or two. Hopefully I'll have some new pictures tomorrow night if I can get it all done and get a quick detail completed.

Yes they did, this past monday can you believe it? After 5 months of waiting for some wheels? I think it's pretty ridiculous, I think it was worth it but I doubt I will order that brand again, and stick as usual with HRE's.

I think HRE makes all black wheels in "satin" and not in flat black, the picture is tough to tell but the texture of the wheel can make it look like a flat when its really a satin finish.

Wheels are on, it was dark at the shop so the camera over-exposed the pictures. Black and White is all I could muster for now. Heading to a friends warehouse for a wash and better pictures.

They call Wes's wheels Textured Black if I recall (its a flat black). They also have a standard Black which is a satin or shiny color. We will have both the P40's and P43's in various colors and sizes in stock for the Porsche's.

No rubbing, I've got JIC's on the car adjusted to about a 3/4-1.0" clearance. The black finish makes the car look lower but the design of the P40 makes the wheels themselves look so much bigger than my old champions.

A friend snapped some colored pics last night after we did a quick detail and removed the rear wiper (thanks to Eric@Bumperplugs). I should have pics up in a few hours once he gets them edited.

Big thanks to Frank B for his detail help and HDR skills, one of my favorite pictures to date, more to come later all though this will likely be the best of the bunch.
