Custom Champion GP7 wheel production

The guys at PES-tuning (renewing sponsorship here) and Champion motorsports have started orders for a new batch of the GP7 monolite wheels that were produced in the past. These will be made in the Champion plant in Japan that also makes the Kinesis F110's. They will be exceptionally strong and light, and perfect 997TT offsets. Wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x11.5. They will be factory machined for TPMS sensor fitments - no clamps needed. The 2 finishes offered will be silver with a diamond cut outer lip and solid graphite. The weights are 20# front, 22# rear. It will take 70-100 days for the production to run and deliver to PES in the US. Prices are the same as Champions go - $1250 front and $1375 rear.








Graphite color:





Anyone interested please contact Tony at info@pes-tuning.com

Will they consider doing a all black wheel or a black center at least?

I may be interest if they are capable or willing to do so. Let me know.

Some teaser pics. I did not have time to mount the tires and TPMS sensors yet. Here they are, and notice how aggressive the offset is - brings the wheel almost to the edge of the fender lip!

Those are going to look great once mounted with rubber. I notice you have an issue similar to mine - is there any way to clean wheel wells without removing the wheels?
