DJ,

I don't seem to be able to locate them on their website.

Are they a new wheel and can you point me to a website that has info on them?

Thanks

Hmmmmm maybe they just have Champion center caps on?
The more I look these are the wheels PES Tuning was using for a while but I am not sure if they are around anymore.

DJ,
Thanks for the input.
It looks like they are the PES GP7 wheels. I've sent an email for info, but since Porsche bought them out they probibly no longer sell them.

Talked to the guys at PES this morning. These wheels were made at the Champion plant in Japan but not marketed by Champion, only by PES. No issues with recalls. The wheels are strong and light, and they are considering making another run of them. Anyone interested should contact PES to help influence their decision!

Those look really nice - I'm looking for replacement wheels for when my TT comes in and I hate the highly polished/chrome look with the huge lip on most aftermarket wheels these days.

Update again. I spoke with Tony at PES. We need 10 orders for them to make a batch of these wheels. The wheels will be 19x9 fr and 19x12 rr. Weight approx 20# and made at the Champion factory in Japan. These are very strong and light and will be done in silver and in graphite finishes. They will be perfect 997TT/997C4 offsets with no spacers required, no rubbing. Anyone interested PM me

Pricing will be essentially the same as the other Champion wheels - expect about $5k+ per set. There are no Graphite colored pics because they have never been made yet!
