Folks:

About 2 weeks ago I bought SSR GT1 17x7 wheels
from tirerack.com and drove about 120 miles on them
when I realized that I won't be able to fit StopTech BBK
without putting the spacers... Since I do not
want the spacers at all I am looking at BBS RV-F
that just became available on tirerack. Any interest
in buying brand new SSR GT1s from me? I paid $350
per each, even willing to lower the price, and I can
also sell it as the pack, with stock run flats,
that I drove about $1000 miles on. The wheels
are brand new with no scratches what so ever.
Super light, 16 lb each.

Thanks,

Serge

 

Theflashback,

Aloha and welcome to NAM.
Since you are interested in selling your wheels I moved your post from the Tire forum to Marketplace (where you can post things for sale).
Good luck. Nice wheels- your other option is to go with another type of big brakes such as RLMINI or TCE brakes -see NAM sponsors.

 

I can't - I already ordered the StopTechs a month ago.... with blue calipers - takes about 6 weeks to get them...

 

I have heard that very few wheels will fit over Stop Techs without spacers. I saw an article in Grass Roots Motorsprts where they used a new BBS wheel, but it didn't say if they needed spacers. My kit should fit your wheels without any spacers. A NAM member installed the kit last night and he has three different 17" wheels and they all fit without spacers. I haven't had a customer yet require spacers to fit my kit.

 

I'd be interested possibly.... what finish are they, white or silver, and what would you consider taking for them?

 

they are silver... brand new... 17x7 with stock run flat tyres...
do you want the wheels with the tires or just the wheels? mail
me ser@theflashback.com

BBS RV-F 17x7.5 are specifically designed for Minis with BBK, MiniMania
sells them for $600 per wheel

 

This thread is closed. GT1s have found their humble owner... Thanks everybody

 

these wheels have gone on sale at the tirerack. they are now a closeout item. 250 for the silver ones and 200 for the white ones.

i got the white ones and they will just be for the track.

 

They have other wheels that are on closeout as well. I recommend talking to Alex if one is interested in a set.

I am eyeing the 18 SSR GT1s..although I still like the BBS RC wheels.
