Just Bought 17+9.5 +12 Ssr Sp1 Black Centred

[adam-__-]

They'll stick out roughly 10-15mm outside of the guards depending on camber if I remember correctly. Should sit very nice with the right tyres, camber and height settings.

I think the Meisters are worth more than SP1's. Heard somewhere the SSR's were 'copies' of the Work's. Not sure if that's true though.

Edit: Price isn't bad..

i dont think the ssr are copies because ssr sp1 aare the original i heard and the work wheels arent known as sp1, they are the work meisters s1 and the ssr are the ssr sp1 professors but thats all i got told and ssr is a very popular brand in japan, thuy told me that these are somewhere near $2500 - $2700 brand new with no tread and alot of people did beleive it so i just bought them off him, anyway thanks mate, anyone else?

[adam-__-]

Yep, I know the SSR's are SP1 and the Work are S1's. They're both big names in Japan, but it doesn't matter which one copied the other. They both look good.

tuff offset man, but the car needs to be low so the offset of the wheels really show but guys yer i was just talking to one of my mates, they are 2 different brands and the price i got my ones for are very good they said, he was asking $2400 or something and i budjed him down to $1900, i guess cash really helps lol but guys how do yous think the wheels look on my gtr, i was thinking of going 18+10 +20 offset on my gtr but i didint reallyu want to as i want my car to race and i was just scrared that it will rub on the front but i still think the ssr sp1 are better and that it is a 3 piece wheel and the look of them is really tuff and i think it will make my gtr especially with the black centres, im going to take them to get lip polished so i can make tyhem new again as thuy didnt look after them lol but yer guys i just want to know if i got a good deal thats all so can someone answer that please,

lol thats funny hehe, thats known as a steal mate, good on ya

[GTRBOS]

guys i dont if my wheels are 2 peice or 3 peice, can anyone tell by looking at the wheels and guys anyone elses opinions of how the car will look with the wheels,

and another quetion guys, i want the wheels sitting like really tuff, hey currently have 245-45-17 on them all around but i dont know if i should leave those tyres on, i really want to get the car lowered to just sit on top fo the rim, my guards havnt been lipped aswell so i dont know if it will make it harder but i want them sitting on top iof the wheel and the wheel sticking out of the guards, that true jjap look thats what im really after, i have never dealt with camber work or anything

guys what should i do to get that really wide ass look and the car low juist over the rim,

cheers guys

[RBLUV]

they are 3 piece wheels

[GTRBOS]

how sure are you about that mate?

you kind of know about these wheels dont ya, do you know how much these are worth brand new with no tyres mate, same size,width and offset, can you please let me know and that is shipped to oz aswell lol, thanks champ

[candy33]

You won't be able to lower your car so it sits above the rim. As i told you last time bro they sit quite wide as i have the same offset on my gramlights 57 pros on my R32 GTR.

They sit about an inch out of the guards, so extreme lowering is out of the question.. you should be able to fit 255's on the rears aswell, and front will be fine too as long as its not too low.

And as far as i know the SP1's are 3 piece with forged centers.

And you can only differentiate between the SP1 and the S1 by the slightly thinner spokes, less curved spokes and the the rivets on the rims also the step on the dish is slightly flatter on the Sp1.

Prices of these rims vary Tony, but from what ive seen they are worth close to $3000 new for 18's so im guessing 17's are slightly cheaper.

But why are you worrying, you've already bought them?

I hope that answers most of your questions.

[GTRBOS]

thanks tai yer i have seen them in 18" for close to 3gz without tyres but thuy told me that they are about $2700 new without tread but yer i already bought them and im really happy with them but just wanted information on them thats all,

and for lowering the car iw ill just lower where it will sit just over the tyre, it wil still look tuff man but yer ill just have to slap them on this weekend and we will see how they look, scaryyy.... huh, i hate taking risks where i buy the wheels without fitting them to my car 1st but i think they will look sick,

thansk guys

i was just looking for some wheels in a +12 offset and i came to these te37, same width and offset but in 18" and they seem to stick out pretty damn far lol, i kind of forgot how they look on thuys car as it was dark at about 8pm when i went there but yer they are really fat and i love that look

[GTRBOS]

They don't stick out far at all. Lower it so that the tyres are even with the guards then the wheel will camber in nicely. Life of the tyres might suck, but it'll look pretty tough.

Edit: The guards don't even look like they've been rolled yet. Lower it, don't touch the camber as it goes down, roll the guards, you could probably do with a spacer as well for that 'how the f**k do you drive like that' look.
