I don't have a picture to post, you can see them on Tire Rack's site. To give you an idea of what they look like, the look like at 547R with the bolt's deep set into inner part of the rim. Kind of a cross between the purners deep dish and HRE with the bolts.

These are the best looking wheels I've seen - esp one's with big lips. But they are NOT cheap. I see them alot on BMW M3s and other asian imports.

Dan,

I'd look at "other" mods to your car. If you look out your front windshield, you'll understand what I mean!!

These wheels are, as Austin pointed out, very popular on BMW's. Very nice looking rims.They are very similar to the split 5 spoke Purners but are much lighter in feel and look. IMHO they are too delicate for our size cars and the Purners feel, again to my eye, much more appropriate in scale to the size and nature of our cars. My .02 cents worth. John

Great timing on this post! I asked Luke at the tirerack the same question a couple days ago, and just read his reply not minutes ago. No GT3 yet. He didn't say if they still plan to make them or not.
I did hear this past summer that Tirerack would be producing this wheel in Viper Size. I believe 18", with a large lip, made in South Bend if I remember correctly. No GT3 yet, but maybe in the near future?
Help us out here Luke!! :D

Here's a picture of the wheel:
