Ok, without being a dick and searching around for the answer--can you all tell me if the SSR GT-1s are that much more noticeable???

By the way--These GT-1 "substitutes" are 18" around 20lbs and w/ Kuhmo 712's for $1500 --Thats a ton cheaper!

 

nice I really can't tell the difference. I'm still gonna go with the gt1's

 

Construction and quality is what you pay for when you buy SSRs. Obviously, you are also paying for the name. At high speeds, no one will be able to tell the difference.

 

They come with a warrantee - They are made by Nakayama - They advertise a lot in Sport Compact Car, I assume they are reputable...Anyone know of them??

***Also, If you can't see one of the pics, for all those non-pc savy--Right click on the empty placeholder for the picture and select show picture....The free service I use kinda sucks*****

 

Do they come in 19"?

 

Have you seen all the crap they advertise in that mag? SCC doesn't care who advertises in there.

It all comes down to quality of contruction and the company's ability to back their products. A month after you buy them and the clearcoat starts peeling are they gonna warranty the wheel repairs?

 

I hear ya - I will definitely check about that warrantee!!!

 

I would have gotten cheap rims if i was concerned with the build. Also, what is the weight of the wheels?

 

20lbs for 18"

 

I was looking at Nakayama's myself and came across these at wheelmax.....similar style with a few rivets added on made by "Excel"?

 

I saw those too! They sorta resemble the GT3's... but the huge visual difference is in the lip

The lip on those wheels are very blocky... whereas on higher end rim manufacturers... the lip is is very rounded and slightly deeper.

But that's definitely a bang for the buck wheel.

 

DO NOT BUY FROM WHEELMAX....

Too many people have gotten screwed by them...me included.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty hesitant to purchase from them again...

They sold me the rims with the wrong size tires. I was rolling on 215/35/18's on my CLS and it looked hella ghetto. So I tried contacting them about changing the tires before they were even shipped... but their customer support (after they sale was made) was very poor and they refused to write another order for the appropriate tire size even after identifying to them that that tire size would not work for my needs.
