Mind you they are the same 305/295 Michelelin tires but mounted on the HRE P40's totally transformed the Carrera C4S into a heart stopper vs. the turbo wheels I had.

Are those crested centers off the turbo rims or are these specially matched to the brushed hre's?

Those look great. What size wheels and offset are they for you C4S?

brewster16 is infamous around these parts

The center crests were ordered when I ordered the P40's from Wheel Enhancement. The standard insert is the HRE logo piece but I wanted the colored Porsche crests. They are a simple snap in piece. BTW the turbo wheel center crests were monochrome not colored. As far as wheel dimensions I have Michelin Pilot summer performance tires in front: 8.5J x 19 57 offset, 235/30ZR 19's rear: 11J x 19 51 offset, 305/30ZR 19's

The OEM one's I had actually matched pretty closely to the HRE wheels (see pic).
