New Wheels Meteor Grey 997TT

Just got a Meteor Grey coupe with Natural interior and would like to change the
OEM wheels for something along the lines of an HRE p40 or P43. Thoughts on
the gunmetal vs silver and any photos would be great. Not an S so red brakes.

Thanks

If you're interested in the HRE P40 you should check the new P40s, which are lighter.

The CEC C882 Forged wheels would look great on your car. Here's a quick photoshop...Let me know what you think!

I'm sure you were already aware of this but just in case, yellow brakes are an option on non S versions as well.

Here is my 2009 TT Cab with gloss black P40's.

I like the look. These are 19's -as I used the tires from the car when new.

Here is a P40 in Silver on a C4S - you can go to sponsor Wheel Enhancements (no affiliation, just a very satisfied custormer) website :http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...lDetail&id=204

and click on any wheel and they have a number of photos of cars with different color wheels.

Black makes the wheels blend in. Silver stands out more - go with what you like best!

HRE should be able to do a Meteor Grey paint match on the wheels. That would look great.

Just ordered the BBS FI wheels in Meteor Grey/Diamond cut finish.
BBS confirmed the color.


(Picture is to show wheel design. Sorry I couldn't find a picture with the color combo you want)

These wheels will shave about 14 kilograms off of the stock 997.2 TT wheels and even more than that off of the stock 997.1 TT wheels.
Combine that with some lighter weight tires and you're good to go!

Thank's for the ideas, anyone have any wheel in gunmetal? Just curious how close it is to the Meteor Grey.

Gloss black wheels look great with Meteor Grey. The HRE's will look outstanding.
