Mine is the red one next to the cop car about halfway down the page. There's pics of other colors there too.

What's your budget like? Given that you're looking at Blitz I'm guessing this isn't necessarily going to be a cheap endeavor here.

SSR makes several very nice wheels.

Competition


GT1


GT2


GT3 "Bright Satin"


GT3 silver


GT7 gunmetal


GT7 silver


The Competition, GT2 and GT7 are available in 18x8.5" front and 18x9.5" rear. The GT1 is 18x8"/18x9" F/R, and the GT3 is 18x8.5"/18x10". All are available at tirerack.com.

all the ones we mentioned are around 2500 for just the rims and then you are looking at the sorta pricey tires too. If you want them cheaper, look into the heavier rims.

All of the good SSRs are under $2k a set. In fact, you can get 18x9.5 Competitions all around with 265/35 top-of-the-line tires for about $2600 shipped from the Tire Rack.

when I was looking at the gt3s, I could only find them in the more expensive range, not to mention they are a bit heavier than the volks I ended up getting.

I would never consider the GT-3, that is a "boulevard" wheel IMO. I am talking about SSR's REAL wheels -- the GT-1, Competition, Integral.

well im looking to spend 2k or more on just rims. i know that tires for that size of wheel are pricey. i think i might go with some volk wheels. i also like the volk gt-7 , what do you guys think of those?
