Prodrive’s GC series of wheels is manufactured in Japan using a unique patented forging technology to achieve the optimal balance between wheel strength and weight. The GC series are the lightest wheels in Prodrive’s range, and like all others, combine durability with performance handling.
The GC-014i wheel is the fourteen spoke design in the GC series and is available as a 19" rim in Metal Silver or British Black. More information is available on ProDrive Japan.
Would 18x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5 +25 work? Would the wheels be flush? Would fender mods be required? So tempting.

im also curious to see if there are RAYS decals on the inner barrels of the rims for authenticity. i wouldn't say they're replica's if they're still made by RAYS...

The 19x8.5 actually weighs in at 18.5 lbs and are forged monoblock. I did some research and Rays Engineering does actually make them. Here's some more evidence with pics.

You all do realise who prodrive is yea? They run the race teams for aston martin and subaru. These guys are legit.
The Wheels posted on Ebay and therefore this site are prodrive reps

Wait i just re-read the ebay listing, is this for real?
How in their right minds can they sell a wheel that normally goes for close 700 dollars each for 250? Doesnt make sense. Wheels are brand new... How the hell?
Im gonna cry....

I'm basing it on this guy's words from Genesis Coupe forums. Not sure if he actually weighed the wheel. http://www.gencoupe.com/suspension/2...ed-advice.html I guess we can find out if it's true when Redline201 get's his wheels.

Im also a member on the Evo forums since i used to have one and the vendors there had these on clearance not too long ago. I never asked about the price but yea, everyone must be closing them out i guess.
RavSpec, a vendor on here and many other car forums were clearing these out for Prodrive. They will probably have more info on the wheels.
