Default Installed new wheels and tires

Just threw on my new SSR type C-RS that are 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. Running Michelin pilot sport AS plus tires 255/40/17 on the rear and 225/45/17 on the front. I don't have my coilover suspension installed yet... car is sitting alittle high for my taste.

Not bad, although I hate the way nice wheels look with out center caps. Had the same issue with my RPF1's but got some nice oe's that fit somewhat flush.

Look good. I prefer them a little more concave, but overall they are nice. Needs a drop though.

Yea my buddy has some RPF1's and doesn't know yet if he will even bother with center caps or not. I am trying to find some center caps that will fit my SSR's that are either gun metal finish or black. But for the money that was spent on them they seem pretty solid and there was a noticeable difference in traction and grip with the new tire/wheel set up. all in all I am happy.

Nice wheels. 1" drop or so would make a huge difference in the looks department!
