Completely agree DJ. They're huge, but fit the car perfectly. I happen like the P43's as much as/if not more than the P40's. Something about that straight spoke style just has me caught up.

Great pic.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a set of P43s in matte black to go with my Guards Red 997TT. I am moving on from a set of Techart Formula wheels. I am trying to decide between the P40s and P43s. I like them both but so many people already have the P43s that I might try to be different and go with the P43s.

Thanks for the nice pics!

^ Piece of advice, get the HREs in brushed look. They look great and show up so much better than the matte black. You almost can see the style of the wheel in matte black.

M320psi is an unknown quantity at this point
How do you guys feel about the 20s vs 19s? Sometimes the extra rotational mass worries me!!! I dont have this car so unfortunately it’s not a problem I have to worry about. Sometimes I would question putting on anything bigger than a 19.

Looks wise the 20s look much better though.

I really considered moving down to 19s this time. The loss of weight plus the ability to add Cup tires was very tempting. But I like the look of the 20s too much to give them up.

HRE makes some sick wheels. Amazing.

I wouldnt worry about the mass as much as the sidewall on those things. I would not want to push that setup hard in a turn. There just isnt anything to work with on those front tires!

I think the P43's would look very nice in a 19. I run 20's as well but I think with the multispoke design the 19's in these wouldn't look too small. The full face of the wheel will give it a larger look than the 19's from the P40's.

I would go for brushed as well. The Matte black looks great but you lose all the detail of what makes the wheel.

You can't go wrong either way but I think P43's would be it
