Thanks!

There are lots of photos out there. These are factory finisher HRE P43's:


If you are thinking about getting your wheels powder coated, you really need to look into it. If your wheels are cast, then powder coating is no big deal. If you have forged 6061-T6 aluminum wheels, then you should either go with a factory powder coat or find someone who uses a low temperature process. Some may disagree, but after some research, I would never subject my expensive forged wheels to a high temperature powder coating process because it may comprise the structural integrity of the wheels.

 

I really... REALLY... like your HRE's!
I was trying to see if anybody has the original 5 spokes TT OEM wheels in flat black.
Nice wheels again!

It's not my car and I lost the original link... Here are a couple more (also not my cars)

 

I photoshopped these when i was deciding to powdercoat or go with HRE's. I decided for the HRE P43s. This isn't my car, i just found a pic.

i think glossy black looks much better then powdercoated. unless yuour car is flat black

 

We just did exhaust, intercoolers, and software on a silver car with OEM wheels coated in semi gloss black. It looked awesome. I am working on pictures...

 

agreed. glossy looks better. Even the stock GT3 RS Racer has glossy black wheels and it looks very, very good.

 

here it goes i do think glossy black looks better especially on white

 

oops sorry wrong photo here it goes

 

now add a thin white pinstripe, like the red one on the picture, and it´s perfect..

 

Are those HRE's 19" or 20"?

 

My wheels are stock powdercoated in gloss
