I'm looking for a second set of rims for winter already, I sold my Wedsports so I'm gonna need another set. Summer rims are Limited edition Gloss black CE28's that I think I'm getting bored with:icon_conf . I've had them on for 3 months but I'm thinking about getting rid of those as well. ______________ tHe HoV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I think they'd be pimp on your car! I've seen them on an OBXT in silver (drewster) and they work well for our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxiboy Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Man, you change your wheels like you are changing clothes! Wheels look good but the styling seems a little "old school" for the LGT. That is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 SSR's are nice wheels, but are known to be soft "Super Soft Rims". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 SSR's are nice wheels, but are known to be soft "Super Soft Rims". I think that's just a myth.. any rim is soft if you dont have the proper tire size to go with it. The mesh design is the strongest rim to get.. SSR use to make a lot of old school basket-weave mesh rims which they were known for.. now they just make the simplified race rim that is 1/2 the cost of a Volk or others. SSF yields very good strength, just dont run into a curb (for any rim for that matter). I currrently own 3 sets of SSR Comps, and all of them are fine, even for hopping over curbing at the track and as well as street use of driving through DC, Boston, Florida, PA, Ohio, and even NYC.. so what's the problem?

4boxparts Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 jsalicru, had a set of those on his ride before. I think they belonged to a friend of his. I wasn't too big of a fan of the look though. I had them on my gti and my s14.5. They were definitely a bit soft. I'm not a big fan of ssf technology. I'd take true forged wheels any day.

4boxparts Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Oops, mistake. Jsalicru had the pic of the lgt on meisters which look very similar to the professors. http://web.mac.com/jsalicru/iWeb/CarPages/Legacy_files/IMG_1295.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that is the look I am going for on our car. If that is what you are going for then they are a nice wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be crazy and go with the gold? since a Spec B is silver, I would do silver or gunmetal.. but since you already have Black CE28s, I would go with silver or some high polish to give it a little "bling" for year-round use. Or you can go really wild with some cinnamon color rims to match your interior Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
