Clarification on price

Just so everyone is clear, HRE's Monobloks are to be sold at 100% of retail. If you're buying at a discount, you're buying from dealers that will lose their right to sell HRE products. HRE needs partners that are able to stand behind their service and our product at a level that meets our expectations. To maintain a relationship with HRE, our dealers need to provide the highest level of customer service, not the lowest price.

Sincerely,

Alan Peltier
COO, HRE Peformance Wheels

sorry Alan, i got a much much MUCH better initial price than what you quoted me for 19"s w/ PS2's.

very happy with them.

i also purchased bilstein pss9 coils and the initial drop is about an inch.

i've looked at champion, works, a bunch.. hre p40 is the best period. some like the p43 better.. but p40 is personal fav.

you can get 305's on the back. they look huge (wide as heck) from the back.

P40's are amazing, I've seen a few in person. Now as for size, if you drive your car like it's stolen then 19s, but if you are out to cruise and want serious looks go with the 2O's.

19" P40's in black satin. I love'em.

You have to drop your car though.
Looks awesome, that's what I want to get for my new C2S.

Thank you!

Go with 19's. They'll ride more comfy for you. And, if you get black satin, 20's might look "too big".

The P40 design has the mesh extending out to the outer circumference of the wheel so it looks bigger already based on design.

Yeah I would definitely go with 19s. They're a bit pricey though so I probably won't be looking at buying any until after taxes are sorted out next year.

Here are some pictures of the 20" HRE 597's we did in gloss black for a 997TT.

590Rs are the best looking wheels HRE makes.

19s or 20s... tough call. 20s look better, but I need to drive both setups to see if the perf/feel/handling hit is worth it.
