Tire Rack has the GT7-H on closeout...I could get a set for about $1400 w/tax & shipping.
I just don't know if they're any lighter than the oem's and I believe the offset is the same, so, for my application (autocross), they might not really be worth the added cost compared to just picking up another set of used oem's for $500 or so...I need another set for rains.

Yea, I was looking at the Comp H, my bad. Thanks.
Edit: Although the Comp H is quite a bit lighter. 16.8 front, 19.8 rear

- 17 x 9.5 = 19 lbs
- 18 x 11 = 20 lbs
These weights come from a newish bathroom scale. They were fine
for before-after comparisons with other wheel/tire combos I was
checking on the scale at the same.
