Black 20" HRE P40's on a TT Cab (click thumbnail for full sized image)
My God that's hot!
I actually don't like the looks of these wheels
I think the WERKS wheels would look so much better, esp w/pccb's.

20 inch Sportec SPR's with 245/30 (F) and 325/25 (R) weigh about 25 lbs. more than OEM TT wheels and tires - lot of extra weight when you mount 20's even if they are forged, one piece.

For overall no-nonsense looks I'd get Ruf wheels.
Too heavy (doesn't add to performance) & too 1980's.

Yeah maybe..., but...,
Performance? I guess you spend _alot_ of time on the track.
80s? Sounds like trendy fashions for wheels are on guys' minds alot these days. Geez, have we all been turned into fashion monkeys? Sounds like women and their shoes (kidding!).
Was just at their website and apparently Ruf is glad to put these wheels on their tuned 997 Turbos. They seem to have an "updated" version too.

If I did 20's I'd go w/ Champions. The Champion 19's are a lot lighter than stock. Do you know how the Sportec 20's compare to the Champion 20's?
Anyone know anything about Magnesium rims? Those Black rims on the Werks car above are Magnesium. Champion makes the same exact design in Aluminum (the 171's) but wondering if going w/ the Magnesium version is do-able? Remember hearing something about Magnesium being very light (I know that's what the use in F1) but maybe not as strong? Anyone know?

The only thing that bugs me a little with the HRE's is the inwards 'dip' towards the centre is MUCH more pronounced on the rear wheels than the front ones. So they look like different wheels.

"Sweet Jesus, I am coming home!"
This bad ass is so so so so haut my Guards Red fetish IS shaken to its very foundation.
LoL! That was funny!
Can't wait!
Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back [I bet you know I'm...]
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
(Well) I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

Inspiration for the HRE P40?
Saw these guys at Long Beach Grand Prix. I think these are BBS's. Who knows, maybe having the same wheel design will make me feel like a superstar race car driver.

Gregg,
If no one answers your questions re. mag. wheel, give Wheel Enhancement a call--(310) 836-8908. The person I talk to there is David Martin, email: dave@wheelenhancement.com . He KNOWS wheels.
I have no personal experience with mag wheel; just recall reading that they are light, but soft & easily bendable and therefore used more for racing. If your area has a lot of pot holes, it may not be a good idea, particularly if you decide to go for 20.
Have you decided which shade of black? Gloss or matte?
Hope this helps.

Okay spoke to Champion...Need to decide wheel finish.
Black Matte
Black Satin
Black Gloss
The Black WERKS car is gloss. I'm leaning towards the gloss but Satin could be nice too.

The gloss wheels look great. Any pictures of satin?
