The p40 imo looks slightly better...

there is slightly more curve to the spokes that improves the appearance, but even the gmg audi s5 with what they call "p40" look more like the m40 design seen below.

The p40 really starts to look the best in the rear wheel fitment for the 19x11 wheel. If you look hard the spokes round out slightly more and it gives the p40 a more aggressive appearance which can be seen below. The rear wheel appearance improvement is even more evident in the 3/4 shot.

not correct at all, look closely at the spokes, I had this discussion...
with the HRE people and with my salesman. The saleman told me what you stated p40=m40, the HRE people told me that there was a slight difference. Look at the p43 vs m43 for even more proof on this point.
P43

m43

In the following pictures you will notice the red circle shows the spoke is thinner on the p40 and the green circle shows the spoke is more rounded on the p40 also.
