15X7 SSR COMP X $279.00
14.5 lbs
Anthracite, Gold or White
team those up with a 195/65-15 R700 Kumho Rally tire and the cost would be $1452.00 plus shipping
The ECSTA (x' ta) R700 is the performance rally competition member of the Kumho ECSTA high performance tire family. It is a DOT legal tire that has already been proven in Europe and Asia, and will be available in the United States through The Tire Rack.
Kumho introduced its performance rally tires in England in 1998. The initial results were so encouraging that the Kumho ECSTA R700 was chosen for the Mitsubishi EVO 5 team for use in the final event of the 1998 World Rally Championship, the Network Q Rally of Britain. The Kumho tires finished the event without any punctures, sidewall penetration or allowing the tires to be pushed off of the rims. Not bad for a first run in a World Championship Rally event. Post-event tire analysis, combined with an extensive development program has helped Kumho further develop the ECSTA R700 rally tire which has now been used in World Rally, Asia Pacific Rally and British Rally Championship events.
The ECSTA R700 is a purebred rally tire designed to take on the rigorous conditions of performance rally events. On the outside, the ECSTA R700 starts with a deep, open and aggressive independent block tread design developed to maximize dry and wet traction on dirt and gravel roads. The tread design also features sharp shoulder block edges to enhance sideways grip for more responsive handling and cornering traction on loose road surfaces. The upper sidewall has circumferential sidewall protector ribs to help protect the tire from cuts and snags while the lower sidewall features rim protector ribs to help prevent debris from pushing its way between the sidewall and the rim. On the inside, the ECSTA R700 tires feature twin steel belts reinforced by a nylon cap ply and a two-ply rayon carcass built with high ply turnups to provide four actual carcass plies in the sidewall for enhanced durability and cut protection.

The new 15x7 Comp-X wheel for Subaru is a special built wheel. This wheel has several differences from a normal SSR Comp wheel.
The wheel is heavier than a normal 15" Comp, the wheel weight is 14.5lbs, it has been built to be much stronger with beefed up spokes and bead areas because of the
increased abuse that a Rally-Cross will be creating. Also the wheel has the knurled bead-lock treatment to prevent slipping of the tires on the rim during acceleration and braking, this is a common feature on true racing wheels.
