    Was a bit iffy at the start but looking at the pics over n over I LIKE THEM!!

    As obviously mentioned tyres will completely change the look and should look dope however if you make the centre black or somewhat, i think that would tickle my pickle.. but dont get me wrong i do like the look very much!!

    really like ssr mk2s but imo i'm a big fan of them all in silver, just highly polished, i rkn that would look fat on this..

    think the black centre with chrome dish is done a lot

    just my thoughts.

    Nah I don't rate black centers. They're mint, so no rebuilding (just to repaint) for now.

    If/when i do, I'll probably go silver, but keep in mind this is SSR factory finish.
    The lips are as reflective as they can be I think. Still have SSR valves and bolts, and all four centercaps.

    You best believe they are in my bedroom so i can look at them a lot.

    Dude keep the orange!! So unique and I love it!! Defs less rubber hey but the rears look pretty good for fitment... Got coilies? If the rear sus is nice and hard all you might need is folding up the lip (depending on how low your wanting to go).. How do wheels fit up front? Got any pics? I'm about to get my steelies re-barreled so I'm trying to decide on offset!!

    Think one of my mates down here's going to grab them off me for his E30.

    Tires removed. Got the last set of 155/55's in the region (country even?) ordered, will have them fitted next week.

    Haha! Slightly OT, but this made me laugh! My Mrs is temping at the moment and makes exactly the same comments - except she saves for clothes :-p

    Love the wheels - BIG But yep, lose the tyres!!

    Yeah I'm spending pretty irresponsibly. Happy to admit every dollar i spend on this car is a waste, but gotta spend my money on something!

    Looks like I'll get away with 8mm spacers up front. Don't ask.

    Has anybody ever had spacers or adaptors made to suit both the wheels centerbore and the car's hub size?
