New HRE P40 Centerlock Wheels @ SharkWerks

Hey fellas I figured I'd show you some of the new HRE center lock wheels that showed up for some customers/friends projects. We've got a set of P40s in satin black for a 997.2 GT3 and also a set of charcoal P40s for a 997.2 TT S.

Here's a rear 19x12 for the GT3 in satin black:


A front 19x8.5 for the 997TT S in charcoal. Notice the extra milling (weight reduction) on the spokes vs the older P40 design in the background:


Spokes close-up:


I'll post some pix as they go on cars next week but I have to say I've always been a fan of the P40 in past years and with a slightly improved design for weight I'm liking them even more

But of course!

Ok fellas here we go. So if my memory serves me right the stock 997.2 GT3 fronts are 23.5 and rears 28 pounds.

There's at least a 0.2pounds of weight due to the padding to protect the wheel. Here's the 9 inch front:


And a shot of the 12 inch rears:


Darned light!
