The wheels are very different. Different forging, different face shape. Spokes are a bit shorter and a little bit thinner. Barrel thickness is very uniform. We lathe our own forgings so we eliminate weight just behind the face. We also save weight by eliminating all excess material in the backpad. We even remove excess in the safety bead area where FEA says we can.
Thanks for the great question.

We haven't done a charcoal set yet, but you can be the first

I like 110 myself...but you won't go wrong with either.

BUMP for Peter!

The wheels look fantastic. I truely notice the difference in weight savings from the OEM wheels. I have had tons of compliments already from the parking garage at work to gas stations, eating out etc. I never realized until now that have a niec set of wheels make such a big difference on so many levels

Thanks for the great question.

Guys I have seen the AMT's in perso and this is no lie. The backpad section's machine work is a thing of beauty! Absolutely NO extra material, thus NO extra weight.

HRE P series are more for the look, and ease of installation (worry free, no leaks, etc). AMT's are actually engineered for the weight savings that we come to expect from a 1pc Forged wheel

Thank you for the nice review! The whole engineering team at AMT worked hard to minimize the unsprung weight, because it is so important to braking, acceleration, handling and even ride comfort.

Very nice wheels. One question on wheel color is your Radiant Silver the same as the Porsche silver so wheel caps match? Website mentioned chrome, can you do black or shadow. Any more photos can you share. Thanks
