Jeru,

I believe the 840R's are 3-piece. The bolts are hidden, unlike the 540R's where all the bolts are showing.

Is it raining today in Florida?

Unhappy The better question would be when is it not raining

This time of year sucks down here, When its not 200 degree's in the shade, its raining. This morning was nice, but now of course stormy.

As for the wheels, not chrome, just fully polished.

Looks Good

I think the fully polished look goes well with the color of your car, and I like the wheel design too.

The darker the car color...the better chrome or polished looks in my opinion.

Kurt,

6" of rain in my backyard yesterday!!!! And this morning it is raining again... We usually get showers, but the past week it has been raining most of the daylight hours. It has been wet and like a steam bath...

Hey FL guys,

I was out at Clearwater/Tampa last weekend, and it rained every day! At least it usually will rain, clear up, rain, clear up, etc. It rains darn hard down there. I was there 3rd weekend in June, and it rained 14 inches over 3 days! Crazy stuff. Normal rainfall in San Diego is about 12 inches....for an entire year.

Gary,

I'm beginning to think I live in FL too! It's rained for 11 straight days. And we have the heat and humidity as well. The other day it rained 3 inches in less than an hour. Cars were underwater in parking lots. I thought I was in Miami!

Jeru, A bit much in my opinion, very bling bling for a Porsche but you have to like them, HRE has a very nice brushed finish, 18s on a 996 are plenty for up here.

the wheels are nice.. i the only thing different i would do is i would get a rear wheel that has a big lip aleast a 2-3 inch lip on the rear, the car would look meaner and sick

Bones, The fitment for that car would have bigger lips, Jeru just modified a pic of his car and put the wheels on to see the look.
