HRE's Textured versus Satin Black
 
close to pulling the trigger on a set of HRE P40s in black and trying to figure out what the difference between TEXTURED vs SATIN black?

anyone know, or better yet does anyone have side-by-side picture comparisons?

thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Satin Black has a smooth coating and the textured is a rough coating.

anyone with actual pictures? think matte black is the effect that i'm wanting but not 100% sure how it is vs satin...

If you have PCCB's go with satin... but if you've got steel brakes go with the textured;)

actually sold HRE's for a while...best wheels out there (hands down) if you can afford them !!!
I never cared too much for the textured finish...too rough & griddy
HRE's satin finish is absolutely flawless & looks better than just a plain MATTE

I have charcoal gray textured P40's. I really like the look. They have a rough finish, which makes them look matte. The texturing gives them an additional dimension. It's not for everyone though. What color is your car? That will make some impact on what looks best IMHO.https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...pictureid=8031
