Hi Alex,

I've had my eye on these for awhile but didn't want to go to 18's.

Any idea on price yet for the 17's?

Thanks!

Yummy. I had also been looking at those but was put off by the 18" diameter. I guess I'll have another wheel to look forward to!

It is funny, I first saw these when I got my new wheels from tire rack. The shipping boxes for the 18" variant were used as protection over the boxes that my wheels came it. At first I thought a mistake had been made... a VERY GOOD mistake that is!

Do they come in black?

EDIT: They do! I wonder about the red stripe though... it seems lots of things in black come with red... yargh!

The name has a GT, an S and an R in it. Those must be the sportiest darn wheels in the history of sporty wheels!

They're nice looking, though, but I wouldn't want to clean them. R84s are bad enough.
