Black HRE's on my 996

It was getting dark and I-phone pictures do them no justice. The car rides so much better with the Michelin Pilot sports. Now I understand the difference between knock off wheels and HRE's. My friend had this new set of wheels and tires off of one of his cars. He's been trying to get me to put them on ever since I bought the car a month ago. I didn't want black, but now that they're on there I love them. The car looks great in person. If someone knows what series of wheels these are I would appreciate the info.







I know the pics suck

Yes, the rears are 305 30 19's , I believe. I'll have to go look if you want the front sizes.

From the pics, the fronts look like 18's

Be careful with the 305/30/19 rears and 235/35/19 fronts a lot of people say that its bad for the differentials because its over a 3% difference from factory specs.

Thanks guys, I never though about getting the lip painted the body color, what a good idea.

I'll keep the tire sizes in mind thank you. The ride is so much nicer I'm going to take the chance.

A couple of pics in the sun
