[sarki]

I heard the wheels i just got cost about $550 a wheel when they where new. Thats crazy!!! Are SSR's that out of control on prices??

Well, Speed Star Racing is a reputable Japanese wheel manufacturer, known for their use of forging/semi-solid forging in the construction of their wheels, which is superior (to most individuals) to die-cast process wheels. The original MSRP for my Works was about 650-750 a piece, and Lord knows I'd never pay that kind of money for wheels (for the Solara at least!). Meister S2Rs have been discontinued for several years now, and have long been one of my favorite wheels. Thankfully, they (AKH Trading, official importer/distributor for WORK/Toda) found my set sitting in a random corner of their warehouse and sold them to me for dirt cheap. Yay!

EDIT:Sarkis, what's your current fender gap in the rear in finger measurement? Just curious.

I dont know what the gap is. I can check it out in the morning. Are you asking because you think i need a spacer to push it out??

[Mr_Krispy1183]

Partially that, but I'm also curious because I'm swapping out my rear Tein springs and want to see what kind of gap I'm going to be dealing with.

[sarki]

Here you go. I just took these pics. I hope this is what you where looking for.

As you can see, I can get one and a half fingers in between the tire and fender


Heres a view from the ground looking up

[Mr_Krispy1183]

Cool, thanks man. How about just straight in (fingerbang steez!) Sarkis, like how much of a gap between the fender and the tire vertically from the side? Spacers are no longer necessary for me (I've got 15mm ones, so that puts my rear offset at +22), I just want to see how much lower the rear of the car wil be with the new springs. Even from just looking at your photos, it looks lower than the 3(!) fingers height gap I measure in my rear with Tein S-Techs.

[sarki]

Dude if your talking straight in, I cant get my finger in between the tire and fender. I would say i have about 3/4 of an inch gap between the tire and fender. If you notice the pic above, I have my fingers in at an angle. At most i would say 1 inch gap.

[Mr_Krispy1183]

Nice! That's what I like to hear, she's nice and tight Thanks man!

[LatinUSMC]

Heres the worst one of them all. Its bent pretty good. Its worse on the inside but hold air.

These guys must have spent a lot of $$$$ on tires. Look at the treadwear.

What do you guys think. Likes, dislikes???

ME LIKE...

[SleeperSolara]

Looks good.
