Avant Garde Ruger Mesh like you haven't seen before...

Important disclaimer: I know I need to drop the car!

First, I need to take a moment to thank Matt at Campioni for the absolutely top customer service, responding my emails on a sunday at 10:00 PM and keeping me posted on the progress at all times, besides giving me an amazing deal on these wheels.
With the ultra low price, I was able to "splurge" into getting a true custom powder coat finish to get exactly what I wanted. The quality of the wheels is amazing. I had to take them to a ferrari dealership, so they could mount them and balance them and they swore they were HRE p40's (LOL!)
I love how the 7 group of spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim, to make the illusion the wheel is bigger than 19". Cleaning them is ultra easy as brake dust just slide off from the finish. The opening of the spokes is wide enough to show off your caliper/disc set up. I can imagine how good these wheels would look with somebody with 6 piston calipers!

I really like the charcoal/anthracite satin finish. At first, I ordered the matte, textured charcoal but the wheels were delivered satin finish instead. Boy, I am happy. After seeing first hand the texture finish, I don't think it's for me. The satin finish is a breeze to keep clean and the color actually changes depending on the angle of the light and the time of the day as seen in the pictures. Originally had my car on painted lobsters for a total murdered out look but I was looking for some contrast and it's amazing how well the charcoal wheels go with a black car.

My tire set up is nitto invos, 235 fronts and 305 backs. I will love to see if I can go for 245 fronts in the future...

Please enjoy the pictures

So the wheels are not the HRE P40 ?? What wheel brand is it then? Because they do look identical (IMO).

Also very nice car, needs a............

Nice wheels!

I like the details on your car; the yellow calipers and the "P O R S C H E" instead of Carrera.
