Release today by Prodrive, the new GC-014i is Prodrive's latest addition to the GC-series family. Like its GC-series brethren, these wheels are one-piece forged, meaning they are very light and very strong. Subaru fitments include the following:

17x7.5 +48 5x100
17x8 +43 5x100
17x8 +43 5x114.3
18x7.5 +48 5x100
18x8 +43 5x100
18x8 +43 5x114.3

Current available colors will be British Black and Metal Silver. Since these were just released today, their ETA in the US is still undetermined at this time.

Those are pretty hot! Remind me of my stock FXT alloys but mainly remind me of the RS4 wheels:

Those are SEXY. Come in gold? Weight? I know they are forged, so they will be on the light side :)

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

These are brand new and not even on the market yet. They are the Prodrive "GC" line you can guarantee three things:

1) They will be light
2) They will come in gold eventually b/c every other GC line wheel does
3) They will be expensive as @$#@ like the rest of the GC wheels

These wheels look similar (but are not the same) as the wheels on the STi RB320:

designers are having a hard time coming up with any decent wheel design that's original. so many wheels, it's all been done before.
