I'm thinking about picking upt a set of ssr competition in gold but I'm not sure what size I want them in eather 17's or 18's and I'd like to see em on a GC 8 if any one has em. and how much did you guys pick em up for ? with or with out tires?

i got mine a few days ago from tirerack (bruce) for $375 per wheel for the 17x7.5. i also bout S03's in 225/45 mounted
on them. total came out to like $2200 something. not bad.

its an awesome wheel. no complaints everything about it,
i like. :D

oh yah, that includes the locks too.

wow my brother spent $2000 for 19in ace impact wheels with tires are SSR's really that expensive?

yah, not to sound anal or anything, but SSR's are the real deal. they are preformance wheels weighing in at 12.7lbs semi-forged.

your bro's ace wheels are cool, they are dressup wheels for
the street. i like those wheels for what they are, but if you
want a performance wheel, you have to pay for its special
manufacturing process. if you're going for looks and streeting
around, check out like 5zigen, Volk pro57's (same price as the
SSR's), ADR, MilleMilgia (one of my favorite dressup wheels),
Giovanna, etc.

yah I wanted Advan RG's but ssr's are pretty pricey too and yah my brothers rims are all for show heavy ass stuff.

I have my SSRs from Tirerack as well - for GC8, I say go for the new 16" if you want performance - they are like 10lbs each. Otherwise, the 17" are good enough. These are not your normal dress up wheels - semi-solid forged, and there are some reports of them bending under various potholes, though nothing happened with mine. I don't think for 17" you can get anything cheaper than $375 per rim, let alone finding some place with the right size and offset for Subaru other than tirerack.

yah, keep your tire pressure above 35psi cold and use
tires that have stiff side walls like the S03's to help prevent
rim bends.

well whats the off set I need if I get 17's? for my scobaru?

hey scubaro where in wisconsin are you from.?? I am from milwaukee

If you get them from Tirerack, just make sure you chose a Subaru application and the offset will be right. For 17x7.5, it's +50, and 16x7.5 (or x8??) it's +48 I think.

yep, mine are 50mm with 225/45/17. the tires are pretty
close to the fender, so i would not go any less than 50 with
these S03's.

with my 52mm mille's, i was running 225/45/17 sumitomo HTR+.
definitely had another 15mm clearance to the fender, so it
depends on the tire you get too.
