HRE Monoblock P40 or P43??

I am considering moving to HRE Monoblock wheels. Which do you guys like better for a 997TT.

P40



P43



I would probably stay with a 20" wheel and get them in a matte black finish. Which would be better with my Guards Red 997TT?? If anyone has pics of either wheel on their Pcar - especially the P43 - I would love to see them.

Thanks!!

Love them both! If I had to choose, I might go for the p43s. Do a search, there are plenty of pics of these wheels on 997TTs.

I vote for 20" P43s, but that's because my silver set from Peter Lee at Wheel Experts should be here on Monday! My car is Slate and after seeing these pictures Wheel Experts sent me (try to get past the amber side markers), I was convinced to go with the simpler design of the P43. Of course, I will post pictures as soon as they're installed!

i always liked the p40's better, but never actually saw a pic of the 43's on a car.
that pic made me change my mind, also the silver color is great, never cared for the brushed finish wheel...

Barrister, P40 in Matte black with red pinstripe and then paint the rear tubo emblem in matte black. Get some Techart Cf mirror inserts and your set.

Both are beautiful; HRE has hit a few home runs lately with their designs. I also like very much the newest release, HRE P41, posted by Vivid Racing:
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=126561

GMG web site, under "Projects" for Porsche Turbo http://www.gmgracing.com/projects.shtml , has the exact combination that you are asking about: Red with Black HRE P40.

"Vic55" on this forum also has the same combination and he's in Orange County. You might want to PM him for high resolution pictures.
