Need Ur Opinion

I'm either looking at the SSR GT3s or Racing Hart CP-035R. They are both hot and about same price $500+....anyway the GT3s are semi-solid forged and way 25 lbs. would hurt performance a bit, while the RH is a forged rim and ways 18 lbs. Now I heard Racing Harts are excellent rim second to HREs. Any wheel specialist out there than can help me make my decision.

Here is a pic of CP-035R only comes in 18s and is polished.

Dayam $500 a rim is a shit load! You add some tires and shipping and you are at $3K!!!!

Have you tried these sites?
www.tires.com

www.whalentire.com

www.washingtontire.com

Just some suggestions!

That's a tough choice. I really love the GT3s, but I had no idea the were that heavy. I'd prolly go with the RH, they look hot, and I don't think I've seen them on anyone else's car.

GT3s are awesome 3 piece wheels & great looking, I used to have RH C2s 3 piece & they were awesome wheels.

RH CP-035R may be lighter but I don't know if they're better, forged compared w/ 3 pieces...

GT3s looks classy & sporty & expensive high ends,
where 035R looks too tuner-ish... every Civics have wheels that look like that

I would go w/ GT3s, just 2 cents...

I've been looking at the CP-035R also. I hear they are running
60-90 days to get? What tires were you thinking of getting? Have you found a place that has a good assortment of tires to give you a good package deal?

I called one website I forgot the name wheels???? they quoted me like $3490 with Nittos 555 235/40....I just called Precision Installation located here in NY (Valley Stream) for $3250 with Brdgestone s-o3 same size. They look good in that polished finished and only 18 lbs. I didn't know about no wait time according to Dazz Motorsports the distributor they are out, by the way the have 48 offset and 18 x 71/2 which is what I think fits perfect on the car.
