I am between BBS RCs ('cause they are true German) and SSRs. The only thing makes me think on BBSs is that the wheel is only comes in 17s

the wheel gap between the rotor and rim when using factory brakes.
but on the R90's the gap is minimized as the inner spokes are modular
and fills up the gap. kinda like th LM's.

Well, the first statement is not 100% true, but you don't advocate the idea anyways. Second, the brakes are not fashion statement, however those Brembos, and AP Racing BBKs look damn good. Always bling factor, XALFA, always. Anyways, this would be a nice thread if you want to discuss more

The stock brakes stop fine when coupled with 12lbs wheels like the
SSR Comps especially for street. I don't have any plans to swap them
out.
Rotors/Calipers are a fashion statement for some (not to me...I don't
care to paint my stock calipers), but when there's a HUGE *** gap
where there shouldn't be, it just looks damn awkward.
It's like love handles hanging from a guy wearing a nice 3pc suit.
you think they look good until you take a closer look.

MSFIT, those are really, really nice. I always wanted to ask you about them but never got around to it. I know those are pretty expensive wheels, how much did they cost you(if you don't mind me asking
). Thanks.

Anyone can make a forged wheel but the level of quality is very different..
A Rays, BBS, OZ, Yokohama are all super high quailty. If you ever get the chance look at the finish and the feel of a high end wheel compared to a low end forged wheel.. More than the price may surprise you.
