Help me decide which wheels to get!
My car is blk/red with 99 lip and rear spoilers and stock suspension, I'm planning to lower it eventually but not right away.
My choices are:
SSR competition in anthracite with machined lip
17x8 (15.5 lbs) with 235/45 all around ($2335 shipped)
OR
18x8.5 (17 lbs) with 235/40 ($2740 shipped)
Jspec OEM BBS wheels in gunmetal staggered ($2620 shipped)
17x8 front (17 lbs) with 235/45
17x8.5 rear (18 lbs) with 265/40
I don't care about the prices as they are pretty similar
What do you think?

I really like the BBS wheels, the problem is the width. With your SSR choices why not go a little wider in the rear? It makes the car look so much better.
I've got 17x8.5 F and 17x10 R and it makes the car look so much more aggressive, especially from the rear.
235's are too narrow for the rear, if your spending the $$ go wider.

whats the offset on the 17x10? and what size tires do you run? ive been debating on the SSR competitions. well, to be more specific, im just deciding on color and the size for the rear.

How does this staggered setup affect handling? Why didn't you go with 18 inch? I was trying to keep the same all around size so I can rotate the tires and also trying to avoid getting issues later when I install lowering springs, I don't want to roll fenders...
