SSR GT7 in light grey

Someone who's in the know, please...please tell me I can still get SSR GT7's. either the regular GT7's in 17" or GT7-H's in 18". I have my heart set on the light grey with mach lip. I heard they were discontinued...please tell me it aint so!

Secondary question...

Do both the 17' and 18's have +42 offset?

I will probably use BFG T/A KDW2's. But, if I go with the 17's then maybe I will use the Eagle F-1 GS-D3's. I don't care about road noise.

If anybody has pictures of the 17's and 18's in the light grey on your Mini you will be my hero
