HRE P40's

Hi all!!! Just got the TT delivered today but unfortunately haven't seen her yet since I'm working overnight. I know there's been a lot of interest in these P40's lately as they are pretty damn siccccccck!!!! I made lots of phone calls and it boils down to Wheels Boutique in Miami!!! These guys totally took care of me with answering all questions, helping me find great installers in Chicago, and overall just hooking me up and being very responsive with everything!!! Talk to Kevin at 866.519.4335 ext 2103. Spoke with Ben the owner as well and he's great too! I believe they are site sponsors also...You guys won't be disappointed!!!! Stay tuned for some pics of the car and the rims as soon as I get 'em in a couple weeks!!!!!!!

Subscribed. Those are my favorite rims for the 997 TT right now! Congrats!

Pat J. and another member (can't remember his name, has the Guards Red TT) have them too. Pat has the silver finish and "GR TT Man" (ha!) has the black finish.

And nice quote in your sig (Miss that guy).

Test drove it down in Miami a few backs then fell in love INSTANTLY!!! I used a third-party financier so that took a while, then waited a few days for the transport, but now finally here! So technically I did see her but only briefly!!! By the way I used High End transport at gohet.com...ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONALS, reasonable rates, closed, private carriers, etc!!! An absolute pleasure to work with! I dealt with Angel Carbonara in Miami and he's excellent!!!

Mine are brushed, so it looks like we have most of the finishes represented here.

I agree that the guys at Wheels Boutique are great. I just ordered a Techart type1 bodykit from Ben. He's been awesome and hooked me up on a great deal I coudln't find anywhere else.

LOL! There's ALWAYS someone who says "drop it" in every thread. FYI, he plans to get the damptronics so it'll be dropped before too long.

I probably won't go dropping the car as I live in a high-rise and am up and down parking ramps in Chi all day and night!!! Also if I'm doing some spoilers and stuff that will decrease my ground clearance even more...no just the wheels and spoilers for me, maybe Tooki and Satellite but later!!! Like Jay-Z says, "Leave the dealership and head to the rim shop!!!!" Or get those D's hand-delivered!!! DAMNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

i'd been thinking about getting these wheels too. what do you guys usually do with the turbo wheels? sell them at ebay? they probably don't worth much by the time i put 2000 miles on it. my dealer said some people put some winter tires on them.

I'm using one of mine upside down for an ice bucket to cool the brews. Nice auto-drain feature. If anyone wants my take-offs let me know

I like those wheels, thinking how they would look in brushed on my meteor.
