DPE super concave wheels....
I have been playing around with the new camera equipment and took these pics of the car/wheels.I figured what better place to put the pics BUT here with you car aficionado's!
The wheels are DPE SPC-5 (super concaved on the back and shallow on the front)...
Hope you enjoy the pics......

great photos and sharp looking wheels, justatoy!
two quick things if I may...
Did you paint the door pkt lids to match? Looks sharp too and I don't recall seeing it done before of any 9x7 series.
Talk to me about your wheel bolts, please. I've been looking for stainless steel ones to match my HRE P40s in brushed but not having much success finding something to work (based on yield strength compared to OEM bolts). Are yours chrome? Although I don't have polished lips, your bolts would still look good w/ my wheels. So, any details on where you got them, price, strength rating, locks too?
Thanks in advance!

Its never a good idea to have Chrome lug bolts. After a couple uses, the chrome will start to chip off. Its best to use Chrome lug bolt covers.

Once you have good photography equipment the pics just happen.....that and the fact that you can pretty much FIX anything in photoshop,LOL!
I have to say that post editing IS the most important thing to learn.
The door pockets and all the silver accents in the interior were done that way from the factory...the centre console is the best part,IMO!Not sure of the code BUT Porsche called it the "Aluminum look".....
The wheel bolts ARE spline drives and they are chrome....I have no idea of the strength of them...SORRY...BUT if you do a search on "spline drive lug nuts" you will get some hits and maybe the info you need!
Cheers,
Stacy
