Give me your opinion HRE P43 brushed alum or Champion RG5 silver painted both 20" for white TT with GT Street kit.

This sounds like a personal style decision. The wheels look very different.
However, the Champion wheels are significantly lighter, if that makes a difference to you.

 

Personally I like the P43 but in the textured, flat black. Are you going to be able to get the width you want on the HRE or did you find out that the RG5 is available with the larger width?

 

Very different designs...I personally like simple...I'd vote HRE's.

 

Can I make a shameless vote please?

 

I vote for gp7s!

 

I guess we have 2 "biased" votes

 

I would have voted for the GP7's too if that had been an option - that's not what he asked though.

 

Now i feel bad ...ok Champions.

 

Hre.......

 

Although I have brushed 19" P40's on my white TT, I'd go for the Champions if the only alternative is P43s.

Both wheels are excellent choices. Because you are interested in 20" wheels I assume that you are looking for the most dramatic visual effect or largest looking wheel. If that is the case then I would use the HRE P43. Because the spokes extend to the edge of the wheel the wheels do look larger than many other options. There is no depth to the outer lip because of this. If you want some depth to the outer then the Champion Motorsport RG5 would be an excellent option. As both wheels are lighter than your stock wheels you would expect improved braking feel as well as a lighter, "up on its toes" feel to the suspension. There is not a great difference between the two wheels as far as weight is concerned.

 

I'd go with the HRE P43 based on brand reputation and styling alone.... however, the fact that the Monoblok is a relatively new line seals the deal for me. More original, less likely to see them on another car out there, and in general, isn't it exciting to have a refreshing new design on your car?
