SSR Professor SP1's alternatives

Does anyone know of an alternative (same look, different manufacturer) to the SSR Professor SP1's in black for an FD? Not that these are the priciest wheels but a cheaper alternative wouldn’t hurt.

try finding a used set on different forums that use the same lug pattern and offset like supraforums, clublexus etc. I believe rota makes a cheap knockoff similar to the ssr's if you want to go down that path...

How much you want to spend on wheels?

I get pretty damn good pricing on SSR wheels since I used to work for them.

The Work Meister S1 2/3 piece is always there.

Rota D2s are always there, but i won't run their junk on any of my cars

PM me what widths, offset, color, you want. Also, if you want centercaps or no.

I will PM you a price.

I like to know about pricing for a set of 18in too if you don't mind. I've been trying to decide on the SSR SP1 and Work Meister S1. I think the SSR has a cleaner look on the FD, where as the Work Meister has a meaner and more aggressive look.

Don't do the rota wheels. Not for the SSR look anyway. Spend the money or find used. Love mine.

Thank's for the heads up, great looking car. I'll be on the hunt for some used one's for now. What size are yours and did you have to make any changes for clearance?

Mine are 18 9 and 18 10 with 255 40 and 275 35 tires. No issues at all. Just stay close to the wheel sizing chart in the stickys
