If you look at the flat back one pictured they have a small rise right around the center cap area.

Maybe that raised part depends on the size/width of the wheel. Just so odd they don't have better (or really any) images of that wheel on the site.

I'm not surer where to get them yet. I was still trying to figure out if they still made this exact design.

I figured the Prodrive guru's on here would know.
There probably aren't that many images because it's not the most popular wheel. You've probably seen this one already but it should give you everything you need to know about the 17" S2000 spec (17x7.5 +50 17x8.5 +55)

The Prodrive website has very few sizes of 17" listed (GC05 being phased out) so it will be tricky to get them new. All the best with your search!

So I picked up a pair of GC-05n. This is why I was asking in my previous posts. I actually bought them through a Yahoo Japan auction and it worked out great. Saved some money and they showed up on my doorstep in a week. Now I need to get another pair. Which brings me to my next question–where can you (or did you guys) order your Prodrive wheels from? It's not as straight forward as a set of volks.

What size did you pick up? Will you be getting another pair?

When I was looking for my Prodrives back in 2016 I had no leads in Australia and I wasn't getting very far with contacting American stores either. I ended up picking them up directly from ASM Yokohama store while I was on holiday in Japan.

Probably another pair of 17x9.5 +50. I need to test fit them on the front to see how bad the clearance is.

If you want to go through a US based seller, Go Tuning might be an option.

If that doesn't work, try Jesse Streeter.

Does anyone in here have a pair of 17x8.5 +44 they're looking to part ways with? I have a pair of 17x8.5 +39 I could trade if interested or just buy out right.

Does it have a diamond cut face or is it in pre-paint stage?

It's a polished face. Previous owner told me the person he bought them from said was original finish but never heard of it myself.
