It says speed star in the rim so yes definitely SSRs, and sounds like a good price to me if its good rubber. They're one of the best brands of rims out there in my opinion.

1 is bent. Lips look like the need re-polished. No center caps. Unless they had PSCs or some other R-comp on them I personally wouldn't do more than $500.

lol he is saying that because his 240 is riding on volks lol.

but only one of them has that minor bend around the lip but the wheels balance fine.. iv herd alot of rims do that after a few years nd a few pot holes.

SSRs are not cheap knockoffs, whomever told you that needs to blow his head off.

As far as the wheels: SSR used to make SO MANY mesh wheels it's impossible to try to identify it right away. ( I spent about 20 minutes looking at all our previous catalogues and wheel history books to try to find this wheel for you ). This wheel could not even be an OFFICIAL SSR Wheel, as we used to make wheels for other brand names as well (including Momo, Fabulous, etc)

And even if you did buy these, we don't make centercaps, lips or anything for them as they are discontinued and those wheels do look pretty beaten up. You would need to pay a wheel repair shop that is willing to take up the task of restoring these their price to fix them.

If i run into anything, i will definitely post it up for you.

That's what i thought at first too, but then i remembered the GPOs have the cone like notches going from the hub of the wheel. It's not the GPO Thetas for sure.

The GTU is a Rays engineering mesh wheel, not an SSR Wheel.
