Guys,

I am very interested in the Prodrive GC-07G. I saw them today on a black NSX in British black and I want that look. Does anyone have these? How do you like them so far? How is the quality? Did you lower your car after you put them on? How does the quality compare to say the SSR Competition? And of course any pictures would help out a lot!

Thanks!!

We have the wheels in stock and on sale for the S2000 at 17X7.5 399.00 and 17X8.5 399.00 each. The wheels are very high quality forged wheels and weigh 15.5 lbs front and 16 lbs rear.
They would be the same quality as the SSR wheels.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Jim,

Do they only come in British black? And were they more expensive when you guys started carrying them? One more thing, when I put together a package it only lists tires at size 225 for the rears. Aren't we supposed to go 245 or 255 when we replace the OEM's?

Thanks

Stephen

Jim,

How many sets do you guys have left? Are you guys clearing them out pretty quick?

Also, what tire setup would you recommend with these rims in order to best maintain stock steering characteristics, while minimizing the widening of tires (e.g. I would prefer not too go wider on the tires)?

Albert,

If you car was lowered a whole lot, I would go:
215/45/17 and 245/40/17

If the car is lowered under an inch, or has a 2 finger gap in rear, I would go:
225/45/17 and 255/35/17

Thanks Phantom. I don't plan on lowering my car. Did you suggest 215 up front primarily to match tire diameter better with the 245 in the back?
