Video My 997 on HRE P40SC, Michelin PSS and new brakes
Had to post some kudos to HRE for some fabulous wheels and Atlanta's Butler Tires for the install. After 6 weeks of waiting for them to be made, I had the set of these HRE P40SC sized 20×9 front and 20×12 rear, wrapped in Michelin PSS rubber sized 245/30/20 in the front and 325/25/20 at the rear.

At the same time installed new OEM replacement rotors and pads and tried Motul 600 fluid since I was due for a brake job. Finished off with alignment and high speed balance.

I must say, this has truly transformed the feel of this car. With the other mods of my build it is certainly riding on rails now...

What do you think?

Just added the new 5th wheel...

absolutely gorgeous. Is that front bumper lip the one that many of us have been buying through ebay? If so, who painted it for you? I'm having a little trouble finding a good paint/body shop in the area. Interesting that you are using bumper plugs - they really don't look bad at all. I might have to change my mind about filling and painting my bumper.
