hre p43"s

about to buy some new hre p43's need suggestions about colour i have meteor grey turbo any thought's on colour of rims i like the textured black look what do you guys think any photos?.Also are standard tyres ok with the 19"s i think the rears are 12 inch will that make a difference. At the moment i have 15mm spacers on the rear will the p43"s fill the guards?

Here are a couple images in a Matt Black 20inch. No spacers on this car. Let me know if you need pricing on a set. You can still run the 305/30-19 on there but its going to be stretched.

Textured black p43s would go well with meteor grey turbo.

Bingo! I think satin charcoal would look utterly fantastic with meteor grey, and especially so if you have yellow brake. Must have Porsche color crest center cap though, IMHO.
I prefer silver or charcoal over black for a meteor grey car, but that's just a matter of personal preference. No right or wrong.

Silver is best for the grey imho, or even try the RF67 Champion style in the silver. The porsche caps fit and go perfectly too. But if your a black wheel guy then....whatever floats your boat. I also think the p40's look hot in black inner with brushed outer. Maybe they do that combo in the p40's? I saw these posted on a recent thread on which is the lightest wheels.

Brushed for sure, I think black Is getting a bit old. I've been stairing at 2 sets of black wheels for too long, I will be going brushed or ball polished.

Idve personally said so.
Mixing two unidentical same colors is generally a disaster. T'd be like weraing a pair of light grey trousers with a lighter shade of grey shirt. On the other hand satin charcoal with brushed finish on outer surfaces would look great, as is the case with the stock rims. The key problem with the stock rims was always the style and not so much the comination of high polished against titanium grey. Brushed outer with satin Charcoal would also hide the brake dust better too. I'd go all black over all satin, at least there is a definative contrast....not saying black rims on the grey body would be my first choice either.....doent do it for me.
Each to his own tho .

Not exactly what you are asking for, but a couple of pictures of satin charcoal to give you an idea. (Isn't it remarkable how crazy we all are about wheels? What a healthy hobby. )
