This guy's site doesn't include any HRE wheels.

I don't think the won't be TPMS compatible
Milou,

Is the non compatibility with TPMS confirmed? If true, this might be a deal breaker for me. Both for safety and convenience (although I use a digital pressure gauge for confirmation, TPMS allows me to go for weeks without having to check pressure).

Not that I am looking for wheel -- just can't stop talking about them because of my wheel fetish.

Can, you already have the best looking wheels on your car. Since they started making them in 18's, I'm going to get a set.

Hi Larry, thank you. I don't seem able to stop looking and talking about other wheels , but yes, HRE P40 will go down as one of HRE's most popular wheels ever and it remains extremely interesting to look at even now after 2 years. I continue to get positive comments from other car nuts.

BTW -- I have read so many threads on suspension; think I've ran across yours on Moton.

Milou, thanks for confirming the TMPS compatibility.

The only reason i havn't order them yet is because i want to see them installed on a 997. Have you seen them in person before placing your order?

I was thinking of photoshopping them on my turbo but there are not good angle photoes available.

From the web site pics i would choose the black diamond cut for my white turbo, but then again they might look different in person.
