I like my SSR GT1 (Integral) rims. They were somewhat expensive ($300 each in 2003)
and somewhat rare since they weren't terribly popular like the SSR Competitions,
and since they've been out of production for a while now.
Do they fit on this thread?

There was a Volk vs BBS comparison but I didn't see the Rotiform vs BBS. Did I miss something?

How so? Rotiform is a great company, and so is BBS. I'd rather shell out $1500+ on wheels that actually looked good. I was comparing Rotiform to Volk wheels. Stance>Weight reduction for me, so maybe that's why I don't understand how someone could shell out $4k on wheels that didnt look like anything special.

Not you I should have quoted.

Nice rotiforms dont even come close to BBS quality to me.

You also need to youtube how volks or how te37s are made.. it explains the crazy process they go through.

Volks can be had used for around 1.5k-3.5k depending on size, width, offset.

I just dont think any of Rotiforms wheels really stack up to Rays Eng. or BBS no offense.
