They really make the car look totally custom, but the only thing different (besides color and ride height) is the wheels! Pretty sick, and I'm usually not a big wheel guy.
The tires are a little to stretched for me. Leave the stretched tires to the little import cars.

Or race cars. :thumbsup:




FYI putting some stretch on the tire increases sidewall stability for improved cornering response without having to overly stiffen up the suspension.

Same thing applies. A common drag setup is a 15x8 with a 275/60/15 but experienced drag racers will tell you a 15x10 wheel will stretch the tire and increase the contact patch as well as improve stability on the big end.

My setup was a 15 x 10 with a 26 x 10.5 ET street or 28 x 10.5 ET street.

Still had a bulge. No stretch. Hooked fine.

I'll be honest, I've never been a fan of HRE wheels. Mainly due to price but also because I work in a Mercedes/Porsche dealership and whenever I see a set of HRE wheels they are mounted on some luxury thing that costs more than my house. However, that first render is just plain awesome. I like a set of wheels that make the car look fast.
Hah, thank you for the kind words.

I like the third set in this post the best. can you make the rear wheel's spokes flat like the fronts and then give them a fat lip. Miss the staggered look. everyone seems to be going with those concave wheels.
Yes, considering all HRE Forged wheels are custom, you can order them with no conical profile, a high offset and the biggest lip possible. :)

The P101 looks so good with the new body:thumbsup: Any chance of seeing those rendered on Magnetic, wheels graphite or black color?
