QD7 might look similar to HRE like P40, but definitely lighter. One of my all-time favorite wheel. light and strong. congrats on your choice

Do you have LED lights for your license plate bulbs? Any pics of that?

Wheels look great of course!

Ok so I do admit a slight degree of nuttiness when it comes to wheels. LOL. I actually collected pictures of the QD7.

Kidding aside, hope you get the TPMS issue resolved. There were some recent posts on how to correct the TPMS incompatibility -- I think. You might want to search or ask the forum; it may save you some time and effort.

Yes more pics of this beautiful wheel please. I would appreciate full shots of car in good light at different angles if you have the time. I've seen QD7's on Ferrari, Cayman, and BMW, but never Turbo.

Yes, I will post more pics in daylight. On description, you are are right on all counts.

1- no spacers were needed, put back on my RE050, same rotation diameter and all. Initially had the diff make a noise like when you put on the 20's but it was gone in about 1 min, so I think I don't have this problem.

2- We transfered the TPMS, but the factory 19 had a cut to make the sensors sit on a flat area, whereas the NEEZ did not have this cut, only the hold and I am getting errors on the TPMS, which is something i need to redo. It could be that the tire guy might have put it on opposite direction.

I get a reading like "req." "2.7" "-0.5" or "Flat"

(My apologies if this was discussed in another thread already)

I am off to Fuji Speedway for a car festival and will post some new pics here later as well.

HRE and NEEZ are definitely 2 different companies and DANG your NEEZ QD7's are some of the best looking wheels out there for a 911 and some of the best looking wheels in general as well IMHO!

I've always wanted to see QD7's on a 911 - Thanks for posting up

I will post new pics as soon as I get some sun and time. I was luck enough to have the president of NEEZ Japan with me helping to share our booth this weekend in a car festival in Japan. I posted some pics, more Ferrari's than Porsches, one 612 with the NEEZ wheel also. You can see the NEEZ wheel displayed there. Enzo also had this special made wheels. Must cost a fortune ...
