07turbo is infamous around these parts
Finally got my new wheels on...

Big thanks to Wheels Boutique.

Been staring at these wheels for 2.5 months waiting for the winter to end ... this weekend i finally got them on my car.

HRE 590R 20x9 and 20x12

Polished lip and brushed inner.

Debating whether i should lower the car or not ... even a 0.25 inch to 0.50 would help i think.

Those 20's sure do fill up the wheel well nicely. Good looking.

Those look fantastic! I actually saved a picture of a car about 6 months ago with those exact wheels on them since I thought they looked awesome.
Noticed you are in Calgary - I'll send you a PM.
Cheers

Very nice! I have the 890R's (same wheel with hidden bolts). Give the car a little drop and it'll be perfect

Those wheels look really nice, very similar to champion rg5s. Much more'racecar' looking than p40s which look boring in comparison, imo.
BH, I thought you had BBS rims?
Lowering-wise, I would suggest a set of gmg springs, will drop it exactly 20mm, no more/no less, and work as well or better than most coilovers on the track when combined with sways, etc.

Great to finally see the green in your area, Ride looks great, let us know if there is anything else you need.

Those look great! Love the polished finsish and deep dish look. Interesting to know how they ride vs. 19's (once you get out a bit).

I think the green is photoshopped in. Green and Calgary, Alberta are not usually used in the same sentence!
That being said, Alberta does have some really long straights to get your Pcar up to speed.

Looks great! You have to take it out of 4X4 mode and lower it a bit though.

thanks for the responses guys .... ya looks like the hunt is on to drop it.Good thing there are countless threads here for me to read. You guys in moderate climates sure have it good ... freaking residential roads in Calgary winters can turn your car into a snow plow if your not careful.I guess i'll see what bilsteins or springs cost locally and maybe a pm or two to the US folks.
