are you asking if I need to buy new tires? I did receive the wheels with Michelin Pilot sports in the front. I'll need some rears soon though. Right now I'm using the Pirellis that I had on the car before the p40s

P40's looks great, very classy, mesh wheels looks perfect on Porsches.

The drop is perfect. But does it hard to drive and scrape when you go in and out of a parking lot? because i almost scrape everytime i go in and out of a parking lot and i know for sure if i lowered my car using H&R or other that offers the most drop it will scrape. Let me know. Thanks

Congrats - looks sharp! Rep points for you - great looking wheels and glad you went w/ the real deal like mine.

Make sure you pick up one of these EZ Detail brushes to help keep 'em clean



Moe and most of the other detail sponsors here carry them. Oh yeah... and don't stand in the "line of fire" or wear a white t-shirt when cleaning w/ this brush LOL

looks great - I really like those over the new P40S's that are suppose to be lighter --- i just like the cut and contour of these P40's - so smooth ..
