I'm very interested in the SSR GTOV2. Not too more than a 17x9 Enkei and I like the look much better (and they appear to have room for unnecessary blink brakes without a spacer).

Anyone have any ideas?

No idea, but I just thought I would say that I like the way they look.

lol, I deserve that one.

But I was thinking about online places since there are no local dealers.

Last time I priced them out I think Upgrade Motoring was the best price. It was only dollars though in the grand scheme of things though.

Tirerack used to carry them. I wonder why they stopped?

Yeah, the cheapest online place I've found is Evasive Motorsports.

No I just need to decide between 17s and 18s. I've seen a few pics 18s on NC Miata's and I think it looks amazing.

I'm pretty sure Tirerack was the importer for SSR for a while, then there was at least one financial meltdown on SSRs part. It may not be related to the original company at all by this point.

^Yeah, that's where I bought the SSR Type-Cs I had on my E30 4-5 years ago.

Do you think there's any difference in the product?

I know this sound crazy and I haven't had time to check before posting, but have you tried Anazon? I ended up buying a set of wheels off there a few years ago after they turned out to be the cheapest.

No idea. The iconic Competition (aka Type C) isn't shown on the site anymore. There are some recreations of the old-school ones that are sought-after. No information on weights, although they still brag about Semi Solid Forging which was always an SSR hallmark. Meanwhile, their wheels are listed as flow formed and forged.

Yeah, I just got back with Evasive. SSR's new flow formed wheel (the GTV02 I mentioned) is HEAVY. 21 lbs for a 17x9.

That's too bad because it's a great looking wheel. Not sure I can bring myself to add 22 lbs in wheel weight and pay more for it over the RPF1s.

You'll need to log in to post.
