I narrowed it down to:

19" HRE 542R in black

19" HRE 547R in black

20" Techart Formula GTS

20" iForged Variant in black

Please give your input and some pics of those wheels on a 997 would be appreciated.

Thanks!

edit: Those 20s are in there because you gotta take into consideration San Francisco's steep driveways and roads.

 

You forgot to add Kinesis F110s to that list lol!

Also with all of the bad press that HRE has been getting around here with failures, poor coatins, rain issues and then the "legendary" 3 month waiting period I'd stay away from 'em

 

LOL give me a good price on those including tires and that will definitely be in my list too.

Also, do you think it'll be too low when I have Techart bodykit on and lowered?

 

wow, you're brave driving your 997 in frisco especially afteer you decide to lower it and put the techart kit on it. The car seems low so i don't plan to add a lip after I drop my with the PSS9's. I'd go with 19's and a little thicker tire rather than going 20's with some extremely low profile tires especially with the roads in downtown frisco. Here's a picture of my with 19" iforged and 235/35/19, and 295/30/19. btw, i'd go with any other than the techart's because the techart's seem too bland imo.

 

techrts are on every other porsche. they are heavy and played, put on something new and fresh like your car..

 

I forged ! All the way

 

I will See you tomorrow..

With the springs and then the tech art lip you are very low to the ground and will likely scrape

 

F110's








toooooooooooooooooooooooo shooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttt

 

here's the F110s

 

I'd love to see the 542R's on a 997. But black would not be my 1st choice. Is anybody sporting some? PICS?

 

thats a mean looking 997 on f110s, what is it lowered on sharkster?

 

Heya v35 it's got H&R springs on

 

Regarding HREs, you wont have the 3 month lead time, I can guarantee that. All black colors at HRE now are powdercoated so that solves that issue. No evidence of any failures either, at least no one produced any evidence or photos.

That being said, the Kinesis is a great product. The only one I would eliminate is the iForged.

 

agree, kinesis is great. since i plan on getting it, i guess i will tell you that it sucks and dont' get it..

despite all the issues, i would say that HRE still is a good product. as for iforge, also agree that it should be eliminated. i had some DPE before and thought they were great also.

 

Hey Sharkster,
What's the weight on those? PM me a price too please
