HRE monoblock for basalt black
HRE monoblock for basalt black
Please post pics of basalt black 997TT with HRE monoblocks
I'm looking for black wheels but can be other finishes.
If my car was the non metallic black i would choose the cheaper P43 or the cool P40S in gloss black but for basalt black i'm not sure what's the best color/finishing.
For non black/dark finishes i think i will go with the P40S
Help me make a decision!
Also, what's the best offset for 19" so i don't use the OEM 5mm spacers?
Thanks

, my opinions: 1. There is no "best" wheel (or exhaust, or anything, strictly personal preference), both P40 and P43 are very nice; that said, you seem to prefer P40, so you MUST pay a little more to get the P40. Don't try to save now because you will regret it.
2. For a black car, my vote is to get light color wheel for contrast - classic silver or if you want more bling, brushed aluminum. A black wheel will get lost in there as you can't see the details.
3. If you must have dark wheel (my second choice), then I think dark grey (gunmetal, etc.) is better than black, for a black car.
4. If you must have black wheel (my last choice), then my vote is for a matte finish. I don't think glossy black wheel look nice (YMMV/personal pref/etc.). Here is a shot of the silver P40:

Re. spacers, the HRE P40 and P43 are built specifically for the Turbo, you don't need spacers. Another pic of silver P40. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the pics. Keep them coming!
I've seen alot of pics but some times it's hard to tell if its black or basalt black with glossy or satin black wheels.
I like the overall look of this 2 black turbos but i'm affraid it will look weird on basalt, like a bad paint job... Maybe it's safer to get them in silver.

Never seen HRE wheels in person nor a Porsche with aftermarket wheels so it's hard to make a choice based on pictures and videos
I's a big decision with alot of options!
