Very nice! Definitely more concave looking than mine, and fitment is spot on. Congratulations! Congrats! A little envious of your tires. What springs/coilovers are you on?

Just a little trivia for those who don't know: Prodrive Japan and Bridgestone Tires are both from the same umbrella company, Bridgestone Corp.

Thank you, sir! I thought it was only fitting to use Bridgestone rubber when I saw the name on the wheel boxes, lol. I am running Eibach Sportline springs at the moment until I can afford KW coilovers.

Wow, that's literally twice what I paid for mine ($800ea. including 6 day air mail, paypal fees and commission to the broker) and the quality of the Prodrives are probably the same, if not better. And they were in stock, and they weigh the same!

Yeah, those are my dream specs for wheels... you got a good find! Like Five Axis dimensions but in 18" for less rubber band-like tires.

I was looking at HRE P40S yesterday which is found on the Baruta BRZ and they reminded me of the GC-012L but 11-spoke:

Those are P43S I believe. Those in Gloss Gold....omg. Sex. Wouldn't ever pay the HRE tax though.

Do the rims poke out in both the front and the back? Do you have any pictures of your front and rear wheels showing the lip of the tire.

Thanks!

No poke. If anything, just a little bit under being flush with the wheelwell:

Perfect fitment! I'm guessing the lowering helped to tuck them in.

@typericey can you please PM me your vendor for the prodrive lugs? I have family in PI and was interested in a set. Thanks!

Great set of shoes and great fitment out of the box. They look like 19s.
