Just got the wheels installed, But the car is filthy, so better pics will come later.



HRE 545R, Shot Peened/Anodized Black.

Uh, I hope its because the roads are cold. I have no traction in 2nd. Lovin it, Lovin it, Lovin it!!!

RS

 

nice!

 

That is hot!!!!

 

congratulation ^_^
545R is da way to go...especially center painted black...

 

I would be suprised if you could get any traction. I am spinning thru second with 4 wheel drive. How do you like the new setup on the engine side?

 

Best Combo! 545R+Anodize Black!

 

Shank,

Any chance of a few shots more straight on so we can see more of the wheels? I'm looking to order wheels tomorrow and am still undecided on the design... What lugs did you use?

Thanks

 

Look nice, more pix pleez.


Gary.......543....... *cough

 

shank, that is HOT!


:bow:




I'm about to redo a set of wheels and the shot peened anodized effect is what i'm gonna have to go for now :P

 

Gary, Yes, I'll try and take more pics tomrw..............weather permitting.

 

Ryan, wheels look fantastic. How about some feedback on the engine upgrade


coming soon. Took her home at max 30mph - F*ng Traffic.

 

Shank, I gotta say those wheels are outstanding. I have had a difficult time truly appreciating the 'all black' wheel look. But what you've created are the best looking wheels I've every seen. Mark my words, you have created a new trend! And what better way to show them off than have them pounding 560 ponies to the pavement!

Mike

 

Got lip?




Those are some awesome rims.

 

With all to respect to both you and Shank,

He definately did not start the trend. I would say in the past 1 to two years many people have been getting black wheels on a dark car. Then the trend start to move toward dark wheels on any coloured cars with polished lips. It is definately a hot look, but nothing new.

 

Zipmaster,

Thanks alot. Honestly, I wanted to acheive a similar look to Habitat's awesome M3.





However, I wasn't keen on the shiny paint black centers. It picks up too much light. Peter at wheel experts posted some pictures from the sema show of HRE's line up with various finishes. From there, I got the idea of the beed blasted (shot peened) dull look and then after, anodized black. The black does not pick up light, only the Lip.

Pictures do not do justice, as Porsches aren't that photogenic. The silver with the flat black look and polished lips look very sinister. I am extremely happy with the look. About the power/tuning...........Soon enough with professional look photos coming soon.
