Just thought I would post pics of my SSR Competion's since I finally got pics of them. They are 17/9.5 and 17/8.5 with 265/40 rear and 245/40's front. Car is lowered about 2 inches. Slight rub if I am at a full lock turn but very mild.

 

ssr's

 

Are those rims gunmetal? The look money on your car. How much did you pay for them?

 

Skate,

Wow they look great! I think I'll keep my SSR Comps--decals and all!

BTW, what tire sizes did you end up going with? What tires?

Thanks for helping me KEEP my Comps

 

Sleepr-1, I went with 245/40 front and 265/40 rear. I got a good deal from Max Cooper on these (t1-s) Toyo's.
I love the looks, not to much BLING but really sets the car off. Glad to here you are keeping yours..

 

half past 12, I took a pic of the wheel close up so you could see the color better. It is like a light gray gunmetal but called "Anthracite" with machined polised lip.. Look at the last pic I posted above.

 

sk8world: Very nice, I was checking out the Comps as well since the A2s are no longer available. The only problem I see is how small the stock brakes look with 17s!

 

i love those rims

 

rynberg--time for the '99 Type RS brake conversion

 

rynberg,
I know what you mean but I really do not think it is that noticable when you are standing looking at the car. Your eyes go to the lines of the car and the wheel itself. I do agree that when guys paint there stock calipers it brings much more attention and there for making the small rotors seen.. But I am planning on a big brake kit anyway... along with everything else...

 

Yeah, I hope you didn't take offense, I think the wheels look great.

SleepR1: That upgrade is far down the list at this point! Although I do see Jesse Lau's got the full set for sale right now....damn new house, can't spend money on the Seven right now.

 

Here's your pic Manny ...

 

Ryan,

You're the greatest

 

No man, you're the greatest!

 

sk8world, what offset use for front and rear and where can i found these ssr comp.Thanks.

 

42-mm fr/rr for 8.5 and 9.5 x 17

 

Very nice clean looking car also!

 

7&7, Sleepr-1 is correct in the sizes. He also has a set, maybe you can talk him out of them!!! Other wise try Rishie or the tire rack..

RX-8, thanks! I do not drive it that much anymore and never in the rain, lots of polish and wax days!

 

Also after looking at a stock FD the other day I do not think my car sits 2" lower, atleast not in the back. I have the Eibach pro kit with yellow koni's set at the lowest perch. So more like 1 to 1.5 " lower. Anybody know the stock ride height?

 

Yeah, 7&7 can buy mine, but shipping will be high from Indy to Hellas!

 

hey sk8world, how much do your fronts weigh? i can't find the weight anywhere

 

The 8.5 x 17s weigh 15 lbs each...the 9.5 x 17s weigh ~16 lbs each...

 

k thanks

 

LIGHT AIN'T THEY?!

 

y-y-y-y-yeah!!!!
