looks great

 

very nice
thanks for the pic of the momo

it looks great

I like hose tires --they look mean as hell

 

The specs are 18x8.5 with a +45 offset. The shoes are 245/40zr/18's.

I didn't put the SSR & Comp stickers on cause I didn't wanna advertise the hell out of them...the center caps are enough.

 

Nice...

 

I went through a local dealer by my house. The TPMS sensors I left in my OEM wheels.

 

Hey, not meaning to flame or insult, but is it just me, or do those tires look thick/big?

 

I thought the same thing....especially before I installed the springs. I think it's the lip? But they are 40 series???

 

So my next question....how do you think the MS spoiler would look?

 

Hey man, those rims are tight. Definitely a great value for what you get. One question: How are you getting away with not having your license plate on the front? Gotten any flack? I'm in eastern Iowa, originaly from IL, and I know it's required in both states.

 

Looks great!

Personally I like the look of the tires, it gives the car a very aggresive look.

 

I have not been pestered by any cops thus far for no front plate. But incase I do I have the mounting bracket in the trunk and can tell the po-po I have an appt to have it installed...

 

That is actaully not a bad idea. My plate is coming off when I get home from work.... Oh yeah, work...THAT's why I'm in this building.

 

Funny

That goes for everyone.. back to work!!

 

i dont' like it....ugly...

 

I like--Looks Great

 

looks great! :D
but tell me, have you noticed any thing in acceleration or handling wise? I understand that they're close to 7 lbs lighter than stock (stock 22lbs, SSR comp. 15.4lbs?)?
and guys.... the guy's posting about his wheels, not his tranmission choice :p

 

I have noticed the car feels quicker, both from a stand still and when accelerating from say 2-3 gear ect. Handling is hard to tell from just the wheels alone....I've replaced the sways and the springs so the car already drives flat through the turns and hugs the ground. But the tires are extremely sticky though..

 

40? wow.. i thought it was something else.. but i like 'em!

MS Wing would be a nice touch! (wish i could get it.. anyone wanna buy my stock wing? Velocity Red... make me an offer! hehe)

 

Sorry....the MS wing came on friday and was installed that same day... hehehe

 

Very nice! :D

Enjoy!

 

I love those wheels. I need to get me a set of those in 17" for track use.

 

The SSR Type-C is one bitchin' wheel. I'm debating whether to get it in 17 or 18 inch. Wouldn't the smaller wheel help with low-speed acceleration, but limit the top speed?

 

I like the I was thinking of them myself


with the 40 series he has lowered the gearing. to use a 17" you would have to have a 50 series tyre to remain close to the same diameter of the 18's and then you get flex in the side walls. (this is assuming you want your speedometer and odometer to be some what acurate)

 

Nice color matching with the body and the rim. Also matching the shift **** color too. The SSR type C was in my buying list because it is light and inexpensive. Its manufacturing method is taking advantage of forging and casting. Unfortunately, they don't have silver color for my size in our market, just gold or white.
I have Momo shift **** too. Mine is Combat Blue. Did you cut the shift bar?
Mine is 4AT and did, and will do, mod a lot. Worth doing suspension mod, coz it improve the manouver very much. I am enjoying my 8, who cares! :p I am not a circuit racer. F1 cars these days have semi automatic with paddle shift like 8. Only pitty that it is just 4 speed.

 

i've just ordered mine, but in 18's. I was also debating in getting it in 17's but can't I just put 40 series on the 18's and still get the same effect?
