I need some help in this dilemma guys, Im in the market for some wheels for my CBP TL-S, I've been browsing tirerack and there was this wheel that I absolutely fell in love with



SSR Type C RS - I love the color and I think they would look great but the only drawback is that they are $646 a pop. With tires and everything Ill end up in the range of $3500 to $4000.

So I call up the wheel shop and ask the guy if he sells SSR wheels and he points to me these Enkeis that he just put on his brother's MT 04 TL. He assured me the wheels will clear Brembos. Best of all they are clearing them out for $250 each. Tires included I will be looking at about $2000 to $2200. So should i just save up $4000 or go with the Enkeis. Here is a pic of the Enkeis, please bear with the pics, i took them with my cell.





The bottom pic is a pic of a pic of his bro's TL. He said they used a 255 tire on it. What do you guys think? Im thinking of just buying the wheels by themselves and getting the tires mounted in the spring. Since winter is right around the corner. Plus I want to take care of my suspension ASAP.

Of the two, I definitely like the SSR's. However, I think if you do some more shopping, you'll be able to get a better deal on the wheels.

the one thing about the Enkei is that they are forged
