Hre cf40

After a little wait for the build and receiving the rims and tires mid August. I finally mounted the CF40's on the car this weekend. Definitely worth the wait.

Also just want to thank Dan at Vivid for taking my Dymags as trade and a smooth hassle free transaction.

I think the black centers look better than the brushed aluminum with the carbon fiber barrel. What do you guys (and gals) think?

Car looks amazing, going to add the pics to my gallery of HRE Wheels. The other couple of cars I have seen with brushed centers make the wheels look small and awkward. I really dig this look! So excited for you. Thank you for the business.

Car looks badass!... I would like to see what they look like on a 996 with the brushed centers... I feel like it might make the CF barrell pop a little bit more.

There is a 997TT in that section with brushed centers.

After seeing those pics you are definately right..... Black looks much nicer, the brushed does look a little weird, might be that ring inside the CF?

WOW those wheels look SIC!!! I agree in brushed they look too small because the barrels just kind of become part of the wheel. But then you put the same wheels on with the black centers and OMG I WANT!!!!!

How much do they weigh?

Scott,

I believe the rears weigh about 20 pounds. Check out this thread for better shots of the wheels. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...re-carbon.html
