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 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.

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.

The bad thing about SSR GT3 is that gotta wait till Jan. 12 if I want them. 
Anybody else know where else I can order them beside Tirerack?

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!
