Ssr Gt7
Anyone seen the new SSR GT7 wheels on an RX7?
I was interested in the SSR comps 18x9.5 with a 50mm offset for all four sides. I dont necessarily like the look of the comps but they are light and I can put the 9.5" on all four sides. Recently SSR introduced the GT7, which is also supposed to be a lightweight wheel. I like the look of the GT7 more then the comps so I talked to a wheel rep at tire rack about them. I was told that the GT7 is available in 18x9.5 for the rx7 and that although it is alittle heavier then the comps it is still a very light wheel. I was told that the 18x9.5 GT7 weighs 18.5lbs.
I may opt for this wheel but I never seen it in person or mounted on an rx7. Anyone seen this wheel yet. Here is a link to a picture.

peter,
After researching your old post I do agree that the GT7s look like the Prodrives. I do like the SSRs machined lip and grey centers better then the Prodrives solid colors. NSX or not, I like the wheel.

Wondering if the Prodrive is made by SSR since their other wheels are made by other companies.

mike (or anyone else),
did you run these gt7's with +50mm all around?
sound like it would be a good racing set with 285/30/18's.
anyone have feedback?
how much do these GT7's cost at tirerack? i can't find a price on them because when i look up rx7, the 18x9.5's aren't listed.
thanks.

I run these tires. With 265/35 PS2s they weight about 45lbs per corner, about 2-3 lbs. heavier than my CCW 18x10 with 285/30 PSCups. Not bad for a street tire, and IMHO they look sharp:
They fit with no rubbing issues, but as many have stated before, roll your fenders especially if you like to run your suspension low.
I bought them a while ago but if memory serves they are about $400 per wheel in 18x9.5 +50.
