lots of people seem to like these, but they're not for me. I like polished lips, especially on an FD

I like them, but a bit pricey, and not much better looking than the old SSR Integral A2s

If they WERE as good looking as the Integrals, I would get a set!

Actually, they have the exact same profile as the Integrals, just split spokes instead of solid. I'm sure they're very high quality wheels. The split spoke look just isn't for me.

Although I did see an FD with 18" GT3s this weekend and I can say they look a hell of a lot better in person. For those who don't know, the GT3s look like the GT1s except for the spokes connect to the rim further in and they have a polished lip.

What sizes and offsets did you get? What tire sizes and tire types?

Not crazy about the white wheels, but to each his/her own

That's the problem, the Integrals have been discontinued.

I've heard they are coming out with an Integral A3. Hopefully, they maintain the good looks and light weight (and reasonable price).

too skinny, not much point in spending the cash -- not really an upgrade staying with stock width

Oh, thanks. The car was originally black. When the car was repainted red, the stock vents were left black.

Hmmm...if memory serves me correct:

17 X 8 Front with 235/40 Bridgestone Grid II's
17 X 9 Rear with 275/40 Nitto 555R's.

Don't remember the offset... +38 sound about right?

Anyone know if the ssr gt1 comes in a 18x10?

On the street all I get is wheel spin/tail wag from a punch anywhere below 70mph on my current Toyo Proxy T1-S 255/35/18's mounted on 18x9 SSR Integrals. Guess that is what a quickspooling single putting down 450rwhp gets you. I'm really screwed when my new large street ported engine from pineapple arrives...

I LOVE my SSR integrals, but you can't get the them in 18x10, largest is 18x9 ... so I either buy new wheels that I can get in 18x10, or try to stretch 275/35/18's on the 18x9's I have.

Kyle,

You really do need 9.5-inch widths for 275s...

Looks like you've got a buyer for the 9 x 18s though

Hi Nocab and Manny,

I was going to say the same thing--275s are too wide for a 9 inch rim. That might contribute to your wheelspin problem. I just ordered 265 width s03s to mount on my 17x10 Fikses.

Ok, enough busting *****---time for some helpful info . Check the tire rack...I'm almost positive you can get the SSR GT3's in 18x10.
