Dronell or SSR?

I am debating on which one to get the Dronell M-05, a 2-piece forged wheel or the SSR GT-3. What do you guys think? The Dronell are $400 a wheel and the SSR are $529? Help please!

I'd go with the Dronell's...they look very close to the 3pc. Hamann.

Dronell; however, I think you can only get the Dronell in a 2 piece without rivets in 18".

I have had the SSR GT3 for over four months and i get compliments all the time on them.I am really happy.They really help the looks of this car,much more than the cheap looking stock wheels.They were worth every cent.

Get the dronells on one side and Gt3's on the other side. No one can ever see both sides of the car at the same time, and when you drive back and forth to work or whatever, peope will think you changed your rims, I'm doing that.

Those look Very Similiar to SSR Decolte

What are those ?

As for SSRs or Dronells Both are nice, but I think the SSRs Just edge out the Dronells in looks, but Hey this is one area that I can't emphasize enought the SUBJECTIVE FACTOR: What do you think looks good should carry the most weight in the end.

You won't go wrong either way !

I'd love to get my Hands on some SSR Decoltes ( 17s ) but I dont' want to Pay 2400 bucks. Seems I'd have to have em shipped from JAPAN ! Not ready for that yet.

There are no 19's for our cars and in addition to that I do not want them because there a lot of pot holes and road construction here.

Go with 19"s for what ever rim you choose. I live in NY I know about potholes (craters) and roadwork. You only live once!
