Question

Just wondering why you guys went with 8 for the front, when most people get 8.5(I think, I know I did). Nice wheel and I like it, but I think the turbo needs a big ol 4" lip in the back .
Just my $0.02,
Evan K.

Personally I think the 4" Lip is becoming overplayed, and this new design acheives a sportec-like look. Looks more racey and less bling bling than the HRE's. Wonder if PES has a 12" rear too?

That's a nice wheel. How light are we talking here? Will you have 18's?

I already have 19 inch HRE's, but I want an 18" wheel to run the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup.

Thanks,
Chris

Colin;
That looks great!
If I had not just switched back to my HRE's I might consider a set.
Maybe next cycle...

These GP7 are the nicest wheels I've seen - very light also for the 19 " sizes , too.
It's aggressive " Euro -look " bowed -out spokes flush with the fenders looks OEM . Compare these to the visually soft " flower power " wheels of the GT3 .
4" lips just scream Viper , Vette , Escalade , or low-rider Impala to me .

I agree with you guys, I am just a huge fan of the DISH . Very nice wheels though, if I wasn't such a huge DISH fan those would be on the top of my list...

Colin,
They sure are beauties! I went with seven spokes on my "Other" car and I really think it is the Holy Grail of spoke count. It is a great match of strength and aesthetics. Keep up the great work. The TA car photos are spectacular!
I am a little surprised as well, though, why did you opt for 8 and 11 instead of 8.5 and 11.5?

Colin, Nice clean looking wheels, 18s are the way to go, especially to cater to track use, keep us posted if you do make any 18s.
