I thought that some of you may be interested in seeing the new style 2009 HST wheels. They are available in 'standard' or 'diamond turned' effect, the latter are a £500 factory option. The wheels in the picture are 'diamond turned' and I think are quite 911 (997) Turbo-esque!

The first few 2009 HST's were fitted with Stormers, however they are now coming through with this design, therefore if you prefer the Stormers or are ordering a 2009 HST then check with your dealer as to which wheels your car will have. Apologies for the poor quality iPhone images!

Pauly, Stormers are the name of the wheel design and also the RRS concept car..... I think you mean HST? Yes, for the last 12 months they've not had the chrome vents, however most people prefer the normal ones anyway.

JOSH, supply has been a little on-and-off since the HST was launched with period of times when they were like gold dust and other times where they were plentiful. The best bet is to get your local Parts Dept to do a national search (of all Parts Dept's) if they can't get them from LRUK. There may be a small extra charge for posting them from one dealer to another?

Josh, sorry thought you meant the vents that Pauly was asking about.......... I would have thought that a dealer can order the wheels without tyres assuming you have 20"s to swap the tyres from.
