redline76 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi, I came across a set of these for sale and wanted to see how they'd look on my wagon. Unfortunately they were the wrong bolt pattern in the end, but damn, they would have looked great. SSR is bankrupt BTW, so if you're as psyched as I was with how they look, sorry but I doubt you'll find these very easily. I apologize for the chop; I'm using PhotoPaint 10 and I never read the manual or use the software much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Looks good. I agree that it's too bad they were the wrong bolt pattern. I didn't know that SSR was bankrupt. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redline76 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Here's another stab at it; looks more like 18" now, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 A nice looking wheel and not too shabby a photochop. Are these SSRs and if so, from which vendor? And I hadn't heard anything about SSR going bankrupt. What's the source for this breaking news?

redline76 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Those are called SSR Velbret Sport Varden. The wheel shot was taken from the SSR website, but I was trying to get the set from Gruppe-S. As far as SSR going bankrupt, I've heard it confirmed from three different SSR vendors including Gruppe-S; It's been at least two months now.

Xenonk Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 that's why I was curious in the first time when you asked me about the offsets.. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redline76 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Keefe, They called me back to let me know that they found a second set in 5X100, but they are in fact +38 offset! Hmm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 that's really odd.. I assume it's the +37mm for the Toyota car I told you about. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redline76 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 I dunno. There's a LS430 in our parking lot lot that has the Velbrets and seeing them again today made me almost want to pull the trigger "just to see if they'll fit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
