IwannaSportSedan Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I was looking into wheel weights, and SSR seems to be the lightest around, at most 17 and 18 inch sizes. The BBS RG-Rs are 17lbs, and 17.2 lbs for those sizes, respectively; and the weight rating is the same on the 18s, whether it is 7.5 or 8 inches wide, which is interesting. The SSRs Comps are ~13lbs for 17s, and just over 14lbs for 18s. Thats damn light. check out http://www.wheelweights.net I can't seem to find any wheel weight ratings for SSR's GT2 model, though, which I think would look even better on the Legacy than the comps. The SSR site is only in japanese. Below are my two new favorite wheels right now. EDIT: unfortunately, the GT2s only come in 8.5 widths and wider... DOH!

praedet Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I am really interested in Prodrive's GC-05F, which will be VERY pricey. So far I have not seen weights online for that wheel though.... Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOH![/quote] 1) BBS pricing vs. SSR pricing, SSR is bang for the buck 2) SSR GT2s are actually pretty heavy compared to the Comps.. you should use [url]www.tirerack.com[/url] to get the info on the wheel weights and sizing 3) Actually, GT2s come in 18"x7.5" +48 offset use these links to find your info [url]www.speedstar.co.jp[/url] [url]http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collection/ssr_gt2/index.html[/url] [url]http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collection/ssr_gt2/spec/spec_18.htm[/url] [url]http://www.speedstar.co.jp/collection/ssr_gt2/spec/spec_17.htm[/url] Pricing on these rims are for JDM.. so expect to pay high dollar for these sizings..the ones from [url]www.tirerack.com[/url] are said to be different (SSR Japan vs SSR USA) but still the same company and quality.

DAP Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 [quote name='Jedi Pimp']Those calipers need painting[/quote] Why olive drab green? Dosn't go with the color of the stock rims, or any of the colors the car is available in. Why not black, silver, or the same color as the car?

Xenonk Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 it's the color of the anti-rust paint coat they use for the calipers. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefe[/quote] But this is a very visible part of the car, why didn't they overpaint it with a better color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 cost to all the line ups to the cars? Not to mention color clashing? Would it be worth it to paint them if the stock rims cover so much of the caliper that it doesnt matter? Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
