As some of you remember I had a fishtail problems with my car.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...threadid=114009

Many people made lot's of recommendation and stuff, and this is what I finally did. I added a neuspeed X-brace, OH MY GOD, it changed the hole feel of the car. Just by adding that it fixed a lot of my problem's, but still I didn't think the car handle as good as it should.

So I decided to buy real wheels for the car SSR GT3. Now let me repeat this to everyone thinking of changing wheels, DO NOT BUY ANY WHEEL NOT MADE FOR THE CAR. In other words no 45mm offset wheels with 17x7 deepness. Save up your money and get the real deal. I am so happy with the new wheels and tires 255 in the back, the car handles like it has never handle before.

The car is glued to there asphalt.

Thank you everyone for all your comments and recommendation. I brought my S back alive.

I really like those wheels, but I have wheels that aren't 'made for the car' and I can say that my car still handles well. I even took it to an autocross event and it handled comparable to stock. You can still get the right tires on not-so right wheels. But congrats on your purchase.
