I am considering moving to HRE Monoblock wheels from my Techart Formula wheels. Here is my current wheel:



I love the look but they are heavy wheels. I am getting a lot of mods this week and was thinking it might be a good time to move on to something that can give me a bit better performance - e.g., lighter weight.

Should I just stick with my Formula wheels? If you think I should switch to HRE Monoblock, which do you guys like better for a 997TT between these two:

P43



P40



I would probably stay with a 20" wheel and get them in a matte black finish. Which would be better with my Guards Red 997TT?? If anyone has pics of either wheel on their Pcar - especially the P43 - I would love to see them.

Thanks!!

 

I like the P40s. You also might want to consider the new p41s.

As far as pics

P40's = GAME OVER
I think you got the pics and titles messed up, the first wheel are the P43's and the second pic are the P40's

a few examples-

 

Techart wheels make me barf. They're hideous. Look extremely heavy and obsolete. They just ruin the lines of the car. IMO, one of the ugliest wheels out of any brand out there. HRE all the way!

 

You are rignt. I will edit the post now and change it. Thanks!

 

no problem

 

P40 = nicest wheel out in my opinion.

 

I think the HRE's Monoblock's build quality is up there with the best (namely Champion) however that design is played out. Love the flush face versus the dish/lip but there wasn't much of an intuitive design process behind the look of these that we haven't already seen from both the top end and bottom of the bucket manufacturers. Albeit a classic design remains timeless, and I DO love the look, however I'd like to see the designers push the envelope and come up with something we will see on tomorrows 911 concept.

Edrick at Champion outdid himself when he designed the Champion/SDS Avaritia AV-80 Lambo wheel. Knowing the tooling and the developmental process behind this wheel, really opened my eyes to the potential in aesthetic and functional designs that can be put to the tarmac.



But to answer your question, my opinion would be to go with the HRE Monoblocks.

 

^ Those champion wheels are HOT! They look amazing on lambo's. Here is one I saw them on. also, do you have any more pictures of the wheels, or on any more cars? that would be great.

 

My apologies to the thread starter as I know this post is a bit

Besides these, nothing that isn't already floating around the forums.
