As you all well know, pictures of the TT do it no justice.

I think the P40 from HRE are wheels to be seen in real life to fully appreciate them. I was never amazed by them by any means, even if everyone keeps posting that they LOVE the Monobloks in general and are about to order...

This is the first car where I must say (almost admit ) that they look gorgeous!

Keep it up!

Best,
Yannick

Agree with you. I had only seen pics and the TT does not photograph well to begin with but it looks sinister in person

TD997TT is infamous around these parts
Great choice - looks great! I still have OEM wheels but am considering a very similar set up on my Meteor 997TT. Thanks for posting

Scott, looks awesome. Congrats on the recent mods. My meteor is looking rough after 4 days at the track in the past 10 days. Needs a mega detail!

looks great SG! Your brake calipers stand out a lot too. Where did you get the front lip? Thinking of changing my stock lip. Thanks.

Gorgeous! Grey on grey with yellow brake really hits the sweet spot. Congrats.
Have you considered center wheel cap with Porsche crest, instead of these - I assume HRE caps?

Thanks...I have considered but there is no simple solutution. Apparently it's touch to match the finish. These centers actually work - for me at least.

Sure, strictly a matter of preference. If you ever feel the need to change to Porche crest, I suspect someone like Eric www.bumperplugs.com or even HRE could match the paint for you. I believe TT Gasman (post above) has it painted to a similar color.

Regardless, when the package is well planed like this, the result is absolutely stunning and wonderful to look at.
What exactly is the name of the finish? Charcoal flat, or is it gunmetal satin? I consider myself a so-called wheel connoisseur and yet am thoroughly confused by the naming.
