SSR GT7 on 2006 pepper white

some of you had reservations about the new 06 mini 14mm wheel bolts going through the SSR brand wheels, i'm here to tell you that they go through without any issues...

at least on the GT7 wheels





Right now it sits like a truck, can Someone photoshop it lower, i won't have the KW's until late next week and would love to see how it will look all lowered...

18x7.5 42 offset. 215/35's

they look bigger than 18s i think, i guess the spoke design going to the very top of the wheel makes it so...
looks weird all jacked up, lol

I don't I've ever seen any car look bad with that design, whether it be the SSR version or the Prodrive PFF7's (which SSR made first).

How's the ride with 18s? (aspect ratio?)

I really like the look of those wheels on your car. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were rollin' on dubs...

I like it 'cause it's different and is placed well on that line of the car. Plus it's old-school like my old 325, and I'm a sucker for that stuff.

They still have it on their site, however its unavailable. Maybe due to the CF shortage.

Aha!
ok...fits well i see, no spacers needed?
will Stoptechs fit behind them, the design of the spoke looks like it would, can someone confirm?

Alex at Tirerack?
This size would also fit a Honda, am i correct? The 45 offset 17x7.5's...
I know someone selling a set off a Honda Civic, wondering if it's the same offset, i know they're 17x7.5's

Kellzir, Any more pics of your car with the Koseis???
from the back, side, etc.

robino- is that off of a gen7 civic? (before the 06') then they should fit.
even uses the same center bore. the 06's (mine) are 5x114.3 lugs.
