HRE vs Champion

Looking for a little advice please…

What do you guys think… HRE P40 or Champion RG5??? (looking at machine finish)

Who can help with best pricing? I will stay with 19”, can I/do I go wider in the rear?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Ron.

P40s no question about it! They will look great on your Targa 4S.

P40 no doubt, the nicest new wheels for 2008 and not only do they look good on the 911's but also on the CLK63 BS AMG.

you can run the same tires, but the aftermarket wheels will definitely have a better, more aggressive offset and might be .5 inch wider.
i have the champions and although they are my favorite wheel that i have had so far.
I currently prefer a wheel with no lip so i would go with the hre's if i had a choice.

Ron,
Saw your new white Targa 4S on the freeway, look HOT! Congradulations!
If you compare just those two "HRE P40 or Champion RG5", HRE P40 is the way to go, like raffi said you can pick your offset.

Hey thanks Tony & thanks to all the
responses from the others...I think I'll go with the HRE's. Now I just need to find the right place/guys to buy them through.

Tony,
I would like to hook up with you some time for a drive on a clear weekend. Let me know before the next time you guys head out.

thx,
Ron.
