Those are some nice looking rims. I was looking into getting a set until I found out what they weigh, ~25+ lbs. each.

I like the GT1's slightly better. They are nice wheels either way.

The wheels are 18" satin SSR GT3, and im not sure of the offset. They fit great, and they are 10" wide in the back. The car grips awsome in the rear now. I am very happy with the way it looks, but I like to get peoples opinions..25lbs each is not that heavy for a 18" wheel..

OOOOO! Very nice! I was an inch away from getting those wheels in silver. Stuck with racing harts. I love the wheels so much though. Sometimes I think I should have changed. The nice rotors are a must for that wheel. The only thing that kind of sucks to me is the offset they give you for the front, almost no lip.

Also, weight has never been an issue for me on a wheel that I'm running on the street. On the street, the extra pounds just don't make as much a difference as the bling factor
I'd run the stockers on the track, also because the stagerred setup turns the car into an understeer king.

Mfanto,
Great looking wheels. Are you at stock height? Any rubbing?

Thats a lot of weight. There are a lot of 18'' options under 20 pounds. They do look good though.

very nice wheels, what is even nicer is those red painted calipers, wow, I think I'm going to do that now. What kind of high-temp paint did you use???

I like them a lot the satin finish is VERY nice on those. I have wanted a set of those for a few months. I just wish they came in 17s for the weight and tire cost and selection.

Mfanto,

You car looks sweet! I was looking at buying a set of those wheels from tire rack before. I decided to hold out and wait for a deal on some used wheels.

BTW, have you weighed your tire and wheel combo? Mine are pretty heavy at 48 lbs (f) & 50 lbs (r)

I also was going to get those before I found out about the weight. I ended up with Volks.
