17" SSR GT7 rims... anyone??
Anyone using the 17" SSR GT7 (16lb) rims? Pics? Thoughts about aesthetics and B.Brake kit applications.
Thanks

Thanks for the pic, Alex! (I'm deciding between these for looks, or the Comp's for performance). Any rubbing with a 205 width tire? (From what I hear/read, it's "nope"). What about a 215?

That's what I'm ordering soon to replace my factory 17" Anthracite R90s. Those wheels look amazing.

The above is 215's S03's no rub! No issues with 205/ or 215, due to the et 42

Thanks!
Alex, thanks for the info & the pics. The spokes are a bit convex it seems: the GT7 does look very nice on the Cooper!
