SSR Wheels, where to purchase?
#3
I dont think you can buy any SSR wheels new any more. You have to find them on the used market. There are plenty of "SSR" wheels you can buy new but none of them are the awesome forged lightweight pieces of unobtainium that the old ones were, just a bunch of cast pieces of ****.
From what I've seen they have a whole new line of "flow formed" wheels (which is fine because they aren't $700 each). I just don't know who is and who isn't a reputable dealer.
I just really don't want any of the Enkei wheels.

The lightest (affordable) 17x9 I know of is the RPF1 at like 15.9 and those are $250 each. I really want to put Advan RSs on the NC, but I'm not spending $3k on a set of wheels.
And I'm not a fan of the heavy and ugly TRMs.
I'm also considering 18x9, because it looks amazing.

whoops, i was mistaking looking at 15x9 other options, not 17s I still see the 18.4lb figure when searching the SSRs.
here's an actual option: Mach V 17x9 Awesome Wheel | FastWRX.com
17.8lbs, $250ea.

18.7lbs, $209ea.
the RPF1 is probably the best cost:weight

255/35/18 is still plenty of meat for a 150whp 2500lb car.
It is which is why it's so popular. I was just trying to see if there were any other alternatives.
But you have to go WAY up the $$$$ scale to get any of the other JDM wheels that look good and are low weight.
