You guys should get together with a company like CCW and get John to make you some strong, lightweight wheels for a decent price.

Hey, question for you. These are available in Germany now with a price. Is that in Euros? Is that a German price or a US price?

The reason I ask is MJones already reported that pricing is not available yet and this pretty much seems to be across the board with 2010 GT3 item pricing.

Thanks for your info!

Rephrased, not on PET as of July 30, that could have changed...

So, if you get some, how are you planning on changing them??
Multiplier, LARGE Torque wrench....??

Let's see. $9600 a pair for PCCB rotors. $450-$600 a pair for PCCB pads. $8600 a set for a second set of rims. $2000 for a second set of tires. $250+ for a torque multiplier. $560+ for a wheel alignment/safety tool when changing center locks. So tracking this car extensively pretty much requires an incremental $30-$35k. Priceless.
