I know the GC07s are available in 17", are the PFF7 available in that size?

Anyone know a place to get them?

I believe that that PFF7s are the same as the GC07s. Check Tire Rack.

PFF7s are cast while GC07s are forged. Haven't seen the PFF7s on the TireRack in a while. They were only available in 18 last time I saw them.

May the B4 be with you!

I'd think that they'd offer 17" before 18".

That's what a lot of people thought when they were first introduced. I think Prodrive was trying to fill the fenders of all those new GD sedans.

PFF7 is only in 18". They are not the same as GC07. PFF7 is made by speedline for Prodrive. Weighs like 21lbs. GC07 is made by RAYS/VOLK and weighs 16-17 lbs.

I thought Bridgestone made the wheels for Prodrive.

Isn't bridgestone a parent company? I heard that somewhere also. But like all the prodrive wheels I have seen they are made by another company and then slapped with a PRODRIVE label. Personnaly i am a prodrive junkie. :D

Norse thanks for the clarification!

Why are the 17" GC07s so expensive? After looking around I still find them more expensive than the PFF7s.

They're probably forged.

They are forged. Which means strong, and EXPENSIVE. Volks aren't cheap.

Yeah most of the forged wheels are not cheap to begin with. My Volks cost me around 500 a wheel. I think Bridgestone in Japan has a partnership with Prodrive. That is why Bridgestone makes the wheels for Prodrive.

Alfriedesq,

Where did you get your GC07s?

GC-07Cs are made by RAYS/Volk for Bridgestone, sold through Prodrive-Japan. AFAIK, Bridgestone doesn't make any of their own wheels, they just have other wheel makers make them.

FWIW, the boxes my GC-07Cs came in said Bridgestone on them, but Mr. Simon Lines himself verified that the wheels are, in fact, made by Volk.
