Webgod,

Is your car lowered or stock height? Any more pics you can share with us?

Rodan,
We have the wheels in stock for your car in a 18X8 ET49 at 529.00 and 18X9.5 ET55 at 549.00. The tire sizes that I would recommend is a 225/40R18 front and 255/35R18. These sizes will work on the car no problem and I agree with Web God they look great on the car.
The wheels are semi solid forged to reduce weight and increase strength.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Jim 800-428-8355-364

Webgod,
You said that your front tires rub slightly on hairpins on the Dragon. If you lower the car; wont this make them rub more often and harder?

Thanks.... Ummmm, I don't know about the chrome thing... Maybe Tirerack could answer that for you or you might have to try and contact SSR directly or maybe just have someone chrome a set for you. I'd like to see what they look like, I saw a red S2000 with a set of stock chrome rims on it and it looked pretty damn sharp.

The SSR wheels can not be chromed. The forged wheel can not take the heat involved in chroming a wheel. You would also have to take the wheel apart and you could not get it back correctly.
