New SSR Gt-7

Here it is friends! The soon to arrive SSR GT-7 wheel. Current sizing is 18X8.5 with colors Gold, Silver, and Grey, all with machined lip. *Note. This wheel is pictured w/out a center cap. They are producing them as we speak*

Not bad. Not far from stock looking with and extra spoke
Just one size huh? Looks like they should be pretty light. I wish they were a little bit cheaper than $400+ a wheel though.

Thats a nice looking wheel! Reminds me a little of the high-end Prodrive wheels. Edit: Actually it reminds me a lot of the GC-07 which can be viewed at this link on Godspeed site.

I still really like that wheel and would like to see a pic with them on an EVO.

If these wheels are in the same weight range as the 18" SSR comps then they should fall into the 15.5-16.5 lb range. which is pretty damn light for 18's. If they are the same as GC-07's they are going to be more like 18-19.5lbs I think. Even at $400-500 a piece these forged wheels would still be a decent value as compared to some others in the $5-700 range.

The picture you see is the only one we have currenlty, like a pre-production piece from SSR. We have not weighed the wheel yet, they would like to get more in to see if they are all similar. Still forged construction so its very light and durable like its Comp brother. For the price vs. performance, I think its very reasonably priced. As soon as I receive more info on it (weight, hardware, etc) I will post.

The only additional information I have is they are expected to arrive around the first week in November. They are designed to fit the EVO specifically. Currently only produced in 18X8.5 with 34mm offset.

Currently, they are priced at $418 each. I believe that this is pretty solid, however, prices are subject to change anytime
