I'm thinking about buying new rims. A desperately need new tires for the SSR's but I can get a set of 17" BBS for about the same price (maybe even cheaper) then a set of tires. The BBS comes with good front tires and brand new rear ones.

I will paint them black if I buy them :cool:

This is how the wheels look like.


What do you think. Buy or not?
When these tires go blank, I'll put some Racing tires on for track days :)

Personally, :no: Don't like multi-spokes.
But they will be black and look the nuts on a black car :D
And it would be better for my economy then buying a new set of tires for my SSR rims.

Hmmm. I might give it a go :)

Depends on what you want to acheive - Good looks, don't buy the rims - Economy, go get 'em!

I think I might buy them.

For good looks I hav the other rims :cool:
These will serve as temporary ones and then later track and drift wheels :)

I could probobly sell just the rims later with a small loss.

If anyone knows photoshop and would like to put the rims on my car and make them black. feel free to have a go :)

Don't worry. They weren't meant as replacements :)
I like the SSR's. If I ever get them replaced, I'll get som 18" with propper width, preferably VOLK or something. Gotto win a lottery first though.

Paint your SSR's black :thumbs: :D
:eek:

Elizium would probobly kill me.
And I couln't live with myself if I did that. These rims isn't on the market anymore (SSR in japan went bankrupt), and when they where they costed nearly as much as VOLK TE37.
If I resprayed them i would have a small mob comming after me :)
