I think the wheels look great on Red. I went through the same thoughts when picking wheels for my car. I have no regrets

Are they polished or chrome? They look more like polished.

I like it. It is definately a car you would notice. . .

IMO they look good, but if your are still on the fence but want a similar look with less shine then just have the centers redone in brushed alum. Wont cost too much (approx 100/wheel). I do know what you are going thru. I went thru 4 sets of wheels until I found the right ones. . . for me that is. Regardless of what we all say, you ultimately know what look you are trying to acheive or that will make you happy. Experimenting is fun but costly. But then again we all have different measures of what we'll spend to attain the look we want. Keep them for now and see how you feel in a month. If you are still asking yourself, then you prob do want something else.

I will try and host a picture of my car with a full polish wheel on it. Again I have no regrets however they are a little tought to keep up with. The picture must be too big in terms of size, but you can go to the following link and look at my pics..once again good luck:

HRE started as a custom racing wheel company completely, and yes, there were many made for Porsche racecars. Now re-entering the racing with the Competition series. As for strength, show some data on your comment. Also weigh a Fikse, Kinesis and HRE of same fitment with spacers if they're used on the car and also look at where the mass is located. When you talk about function statements, it's not style opinion, so show some facts if you have something to share please.

I have seen this car in person and the full-polished on white is striking!

I think the full polish is a great alternative to chrome for those that want a lusterous wheel without all of the bling blang. It creates a striking look against that red as well.

After looking at pics with the 5spokers, its easier to understand the other comments though, I think some iFORGED Classics in 19" would look great on this car. (very clean look overall, btw)
