I dunno how they do it but they are definitely awesome. I actually don't like them on that car in black. With the dark blue of the car should have stayed with finished aluminum imho. Kind of like you don't wear black shoes with a dark black suit either just doesn't work.

I agree, aluminum would look much better on that car. Black is great on pretty much any other color except that.

Call me old school but I'm partial to wheels with lips. The right lip and color combo gives the car an aggression that just can't be reached with monoblok wheels. Also with staggered lips you get to see the lines of the car better and its contours, especially in the rear. The only benefit I see with the monoblok is the ease of mounting tires over the worries of damaging the seals on multi piece.

I'm running GT3's or 9ff's alternately, so I've got no bias to P40's, but IMO I think that these are the best looking wheels for the 911.
