Prodrive GC-07

[DeHaldaswerth]

Found a sweet set of my favorite wheels, Prodrive GC-07. 17/18. Offsets are +44, British Black. Tires: Star Specs, 215/40/17 Front, 255/35/18 Rear. Brakes are Stop Tech Trophies, courtesy of SOS. Lowered using KW V3 coilovers, also courtesy SOS. Net result is a reduction in unsprung weight and the car looks BOSS now. At least, in my humble opinion

Dayum! So beautiful. Did you get the wheels new or used?

Used; but super clean. I'm really impressed with the quality of the wheels and also with how light they are.

Don't say that! My lust is growing!

By the time I get to "wheels" on my list of "stuff to do to the car" I'm afraid there won't be any more sets out there for sale.

Awesome. I presume this is the Zanardi?

This is one of the most impressive NSXes I have driven. Zanardi owners: keep them near and dear!

wow! what a great way to upgrade a Zanardi. not sure i'd have done anything differently myself. bravo!

 

[angus]

Always loved those "overgrown OEM" wheels!

 

[NRG TRADR]

More pics or it didn't happen! Perfect OEM look.

Absolutely perfect: BBK + GC-07

If the car is not DD and not driven in the rain i would go for Toyo R888 (205-40-17 + 255-35-18) for extra weight savings...

Very nice, one of my favorite rims for the s2000 and nsx.

 

[Alas-NSX]

What do you think about the ride quality/handling with the kw's vs. Oem Zanardi shocks/springs?

I would highly recommend the KWs over the factory shocks. The ride simply feels more controlled and consistent when the pavement is less than perfect. Reminds me of my German cars; which is no surprise since the KWs are a product of German engineering. The ride is compliant but firm, and the car is rock solid at high speed. Im pretty sure that Honda would have used a similar setup for the car if cost where no object. The KWs are not cheap.

I can't remember specifically, but it was conservative. Less than an inch for sure. I love the way it looks now, and the StopTech brakes are simply awesome. They are so far superior to the factory calipers, in both performance and looks, that I now consider them to be a mandatory upgrade. Super linear, and man do they look awesome hiding beneath those curved spokes. We used a specially machined 2mm front wheel spacer to provide the perfect amount of clearance. It just don't get any better...

Thanks for the perspective.
