[DnB_design]

mmmmmmmmmm. NICE ! love the colour

What wheels are those? Are they SSR Comps? They look great on your car!

[Bernardio]

Thanks! Right you are, they're SSR Comps 18x9. I'm really happy the way it turned out too. It was sort of a spur of the moment used goods purchase and I haven't seen the wheel in person before.

[vtluu]

Nice, take good care of those, I've heard SSR Comps bend real easily!

[kimmievo]

Beeeeautiful!

[DRFTR8]

how much did you get them for?

[Bernardio]

you're scaring me with the bending talk.. :( I will driving a little calmer though on bumpy roads to compensate, so thanks for the warning Vtluu.

I got them used off of EvoM forums from someone who works at Car&Driver. Apparently, these wheels were one of the four sets that Vish-eezy nu-heezy ran on their C&D evo at that 25-hr thunderhill challenge. Some minor nicks and scratches, but overall worth the 1500 I dropped.

man.. one trip down the hell hole road i drove though today in salinas and those would be toast.. i was dodging water trucks and farm equipment, huge pot holes.. roads disapearing and turning into dirt, insane trin tracks speed bumps.ill never be able to get nice wheels like that :x looks nice~!

[lancerboy]

nice silver evo you got there bro 8)

rims looking god :thumbsup:

btw, what kind of suspension are you using?

[wilson1]

Wow, very nice!

[egui42]

NICE!!!!

[Evo_xTSi]

I LOVE these rims! :heart: They look sooo good! They aren't THAT easily bent. I've hit some hard bumps now and again and my rims are still fine.

[Bernardio]

Thanks! I'm using tein flex coilovers. It rides pretty much like stock, but way less downwards suspension travel. Pulling out into the street from some lots, I get the three wheel motion.

[V8KiLL3R]

nice rims man :!:

[EvoRS_Mitch]

Sick. :twisted: The gunmetal look really looks great on your ride.

[Unowned]

I have those rims on my Eclipse. I have one small dent in the rim from a pothole, they are pretty sturdy just run your PSI really high.

[MarkSAE]

I love those deep dish SSRs!! I saw those for sale on evom. What size are those? Like 18x9.5? Did you need to modify anything to make them fit?

I know what you mean about the rebound suspension travel w/ coilovers. With my front wheels up in the air, I have just a little over a fist-sized gap between the wheel and tire.

[Bernardio]

Thanks! Yeah, I bought them off a private seller on evom. They were one of the sets used on the car and driver 25-hr of thunderhill evo and they shipped to me with used slicks mounted on them. I was so temped to drive it around with slicks on the street, but I was too damn lazy to put them on knowing I'd have to take them off in a few hours.

The wheels are 18x9 with a 31 offset. I had to put a 3mm spacer in the front to clear the brembos and I trimmed the rear fenders just incase before I got the wheels so I'm not entirely sure if it was needed or not. From the look of it, I'm 75% sure it would have rubbed otherwise.

btw, 4 used slicks for sale for 100 bucks! (Advan A-005 size 230/650R-18). I have no idea what kinda "treadlife" is left.

[Buckkaaaa!!]

MAN those look good......

nice car =D

[xepyt]

awesome rims! it's great to finally see a pic of them,
too bad you had to use spacers though.

[brwnrice]

saw the rims in person tonight and indeed it is a sweet setup.
