Dude,...I'm like wizzed off, man...I was ready to pull the trigger on my credit card for some volks...Rishie told me it would be 60-90 days before they came in. Damn...Anyway, i really should take care of my rebuild first...However, I wouldn't mind going in debt just a little bit to have some wheels...Everytime I look at my stockers I feel like I am going to

Hey, 17x9.5 and 17x8.5 SSR Competitions are in stock at tirerack. Under $1600 for the set. Or you can get 18x9.5 all around for about $1900, but have to wait until August.
I would either get the SSR Comps from tire rack or Rishie (can't remember if he does SSR) or just wait for the Volks. It's only 2-3 months...

I'm going with new SSR Comps in Competition Silver; 9.5 x 17 all around (42-mm offset) with 255/40-17 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Competitions. I think the Tire Rack will be stocking this size and finish in July (only in a few weeks)....

Do you guys know anything about the
Work Maximer F2 wheels?
I may have the opportunity to get a set of these in 18x9 and 10 for the FD...however, I don't know if it would be a good decision on my part when it comes to performance...I am eventually going to go with a single so I don't know...do the 18s screw up ride quality? I would say I am more performance oriented but really care how the car looks too.
I have some 205/40/17s on my MX3 and it made it ride like ****...it's like rolling on rubberband.
the 18s would have 255/35 and 285/30 or 275/35
Here's a photo of the "Work Maximer F2"
Here's my attempt of photochoping it to my car...

Damn now that's a polished lip if i've ever seen it! It looks like it would be heavy though....
I tried looking at some common wheel spec pages and could not find anything on the wheel, then tried searching on yahoo.com and it also came up a blank....
I also don't think the photochop makes it look very nice on your car.

Dave, knowing how you've set up your car and the direction you want to go in, I would say stay away from 18s. The SSR Comps in 17 sound pretty nice.
