It's tough to beat a visual and perfomance upgrade! Well Done!

$6k and I suppose you could get them from any HRE dealer. However, I got both sets of mine (7GT3 and 7RS) from Alex at Sharkwerks primarily because I trust him. These wheels are custom built, Alex specs them a few millimeters different in offset to eliminate the spacers, and I know I'm going to get what I ordered.

Good luck, there are a lot of good wheel choices out there!

i just noticed- these are the same wheels as on your GT3 right? but these have a black face center whereas the gt3 has the charcoal center?

planning on doing rims on the CGT?

Right, same wheels as on my 7GT3, and you're right - charcoal on the 3, black on the RS. And no, for the CGT I'm thinking BBS-LM and Hoosiers in 18". But first I'll get the CGT corner balanced and see how it feels at another track day.
