[mgrubman]

Sweet!!!!! I am going to upgrade the factory wheels as well?? Why did you choose the Carbon series vs the Monoblocks?? I have the H&R springs as well. Do you have any clearance issues??

Sorry guys, I am late on this one. These are my "poser wheels", as all my Porsche buddies call them. So I might as well accept it. They are not going to be used on the track. I have two sets of OEMs that I use for track use. I suppose if I were to track with 20" wheels I would look at the Pilot Sport Cups, but that would get expensive. 19"s are bad enough cost-wise IMO.

Yes, they are a little blingy, or maybe even a lot blingy. The reason why I got them was that I had Monoblock P40s, but I wanted something lighter and I was able to trade the P40s back. If I had a chance to do it over again, I wouldn't have purchased either since I don't drive the car on the street much. My car is in AZ right now for a few months with OEMs, so I'm not even using the CF40s until next year.


Someone asked about the front lip. It's from PPI. I bought the wing, lip and side skirts as a package deal so I don't know what the lip cost individually.

I respect those that think the wheels and/or the bodykit looks weak. The PPI stuff is noticeably effective on the track, but it is expensive. I kinda got the mod bug and kept going last year. It's a new creation now, and I will just suffer with it.

Yep, the Euro's releative strength makes all the Eurozone kit look expensive nowadays...

Very nice and VERY exclusive. With the shuttering of Dymag, these may be one of only a handful of HRE CF wheels produced for the forseable future!
