I'm assuming by your comment that the brushed is a shinier than the silver. Is that right? Also, would you mind sending me a PM with the pricing on 19"?

I am probably one of the very first owners of the P40. Obviously, this is strictly a matter of personal preference (there is no right or wrong); I chose Silver Powder Coated for the following reasons:

1. The Brushed Alum. finish somehow looks "unfinished" to my eyes. YMMV.

2. I prefer a more subdued finish and one that is more like the Porsche OEM wheel--which is Silver Powder Coated. Even in this low key paint, the wheel has zero problem calling attention to itself. Car nuts at my work place cannot stop talking about and staring at the wheels. I've found people walking closer just to glance at them, ignoring my beautiful car in the process.

I posted pictures of my car here:

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=105914

There are pictures of both here (Silver on top--that's actually my car, Brushed Alum. at bottom):

HRE hit a home run with this design. I think you'll love them. Good luck and hope this helps.

I have a flat black set on order for my SY 996, I believe they're almost ready and I can't wait to get them on the car. Any other color car I probably would go with the brushed finish, but black on yellow does it for me a bit more.
