Well guys, I thought I had made up my mind on my wheels, until I went to By Design this weekend. I saw both the HRE 19" 840R and the 843R's (Oak's TT) on the rack and can't decide between them. If I go with the 840 I want the centers black. If I go with the 843's, I'll go with the brushed centers. The TT cab (sil/blk) will be here in a month so I have to decide. Please feel free to pass on any advise. By the way, both Matt and Allan were great to work with. Sorry, I was unable to post the pics so here is the link. www.hrewheels.com/Wheels/

 

LOL - I personally prefer the 840s
no black center though (or brudshed) silver man!! trust!!

 

I have the 540's...If I were to do it again, I'd do the 843's!!! Oak's wheels are NICE!!!

 

996turbo,
I prefer the 840 brushed alum, not black with a super high polished 4" lip (I dont think HRE does 5" lips). I have a 5" rear lip and it looks dope. But it all depends on what look you are going for and who do you want to impress. . . I still say 840's but either way you cant go wrong. If you do, just be like me and have two sets of *****in wheels. Switch them out every 6 months.
Good luck,
Ron

 

It would be nice if HRE added "Porsche" to one of the list of cars in their showroom. Then we could see what the wheels will look like on the car.

I like the 840s. If you like black, why not black 843s also?

 

MSindi, it's a though. Chris, I am leaning towards the 843's. Rodi, how do you like the JIC coilovers?

 

ESK, I agree. I wish they had more Porsches in their gallery. I saw a set of 543's...essentially an 843 with exposed hardware....painted black and it did'nt work for me. I think since the spokes are not very wide, they seemed to have gotten lost in black.

 

I like the 840R better, not sure about the black though

 

I vote for the 843R.

 

996turbo,
Have you decided yet? Best thing to do is go with your gut instinct or your first choice. As for the JIC coilovers, so for I like them alot. After one week, had them adjusted for rear height and softened the ride a bit. So far so good. The ride is of course still stiffer than stock but very forgiving. I'm happy so far. Did I tell you they also have adjustments for camber. . . Sometimes they make a little noise but not much at all. Let us know what you decided on the wheels.

You need to ad a photo for us newbies that dont really know the difference in the 2 models. However I voted for the brushed centers.

 

Greyghost, my computer saves the pics as "ART." It's an AOL thing and it's not postable in that format. Take a look at the link I provided. Thanks

 

Looks like the 843's are gonna win. Brushed or silver???? Car is Silver/Black/Black with silver painted seat backs. Thanks a lot guys.

 

The reason HRE does not have "Porsche" in their website showroom is because Porsche would not allow it.

 

Silver!! Cheaper and looks natches the Porsche Arctic better than brushed...
