Looking for replicas of SSR

I'm in the market for some replicas of SSR MS1 wheels or pretty much anything that comes close to the mesh look. I'm not preferring the rivets, but I can live with it. Does anyone know of any good replicas that don't cost as much as SSR?



any comments on how this will look on a 2010 TSX in PMM would be great too

They look just like the 5zigen Sc3000 that one of our members are selling, he use to have it on his 2nd gen TSX as well

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-tires-wheels-suspension-300/new-tsx-upcoming-mods-733491/

Don't know if he's sold them though, would be a great way to pick up some nice rims for a good price

You guys want to consider the TSX a luxury car. If you spent 80k on a luxury car, would you put $500 wheels on it? If you want to represent the brand as a luxury car company, you should act as an ambassador. Why tolerate this crap?

I'm not speaking for the OP, but a lot of people on this forum are teenagers or young adults who's parents bought them their car. Some of them may not be able to afford to spend a few grand of their own money on wheels.

So don't buy wheels. And as members of this forum, don't condone substandard efforts. Why not tell it like it is?

Some people feel that a decent set of aftermarket wheels, while not as expensive as some top-of-the-line wheels, are even better than the stock wheels. The stock wheels for this car are pretty horrendous.

That's why Life Dies is too broke to own a TSX. Because he spent all of his money on a good pair of shoes because why buy regular Nikes right? Going all out made him poor

Then shape up and stop picking fights. If you don't have anything nice to say, then keep it to yourself. Stop being an ass.

probably not IF we own a 80k car, but that's the thing, TSX isn't a 80K car, hence why some people feel that decent wheels that aren't too expensive would be enough.

But then again, depending on what size the OP wants, 18s of that SSR professor MS1 is only about 6xx a wheel, I'd prefer them much over Ron Jon or misc brand that are about 3xx a wheel

ASA's would be a good choice, IIRC, they're Tire Rack's house brand licensed by BBS.

Also consider Konig wheels, they're round and as long as you don't use wheel acid on them, they stay looking good for a pretty long time.

I wouldn't say RJ's are a miscellaneous brand, they're hubcentric and the offset offerings are H/A specific. One usually has to go to a RAYS or the like for those kind of features.

Just because it says banned under his name does that mean he's banned?

When the mods dispensed with the other dude, there was a huge BANNED...thing across his posts.

I see Life's picture was removed.

We really do have a good group here, self managing for the most part. We're tolerant of different styles and personalities, rarely do we have the infighting BS you get on some boards. I don't think any of us rush to ban someone without giving them every opportunity to stop being a prick.

This place reminds me of the old SE-R.net forums from...geezus, 1995?

Feck, I'm old.

OP, good luck with your wheel search.

BANNED = temp Ban

BANNED = Permanent.





OP - have you considered Privat Netz? The look good on the 3G TL.
