I'm looking at potentially picking up some wheels.

These caught my attention, and just wanted some feedback on the style of em...

I cant find too much info on them since they were discontinued a while ago, but they're 19x10 in the rear and 19x8 in the front.

What do you guys think? Looks good? Super ugly? Opinions?

They look ok, although I'm not a fan of this look with all the nuts.

Those are SSR knockoffs with a weight penalty and are basically "eBay" wheels since it was sold all over eBay at one point. Personally I tend to stay away from mass sold wheels from ebay on a car of this marque as it gives the perception of being cheap on a car of this caliber.

These are common in north Philly... DUB cars and trucks.. If that's the scene you are going for. I would think these would be tough to clean too.

LOL alright alright. There's a guy selling a set of these with new tires for $1000, but I guess I'll stick to my oem wheels for now while the hunt continues...

I'm not knocking north Philly as I was there 2 weeks ago checking the latest and greatest. Guys were kind and gave me the 411 on concaves, variable mounts, etc. Last weekend I checked out the country club for classic looks. We're in the same boat:)

yep ssr knockoffs....these are still in production and are for sale for around 700 shipped for a set of wheels.

I have them for my winter wheels w/ Blizzaks. The front needs a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper. Not unhappy with them, and aren't particularly hard to clean. But I look forward to putting on my OEM 5 spoke wheels in another week. I think I paid $750 w/ the required spacer, shipping and lugs.
