      Yes, they are indeed Ted's (SlammedE30) old wheels (and his new wheels too for that matter, but thats another story ;) ). The RX's were just a bit too pedestrian for me I guess, and these happened to come along at just the right time. :)

      Thanks for the comments guys!

        Lightweight club? How light does each wheel have to be to be in that club?

        My upcoming wheels are 16 lbs, 16x7". That good enough? I wanna join!
        might be considerable if the weight was four pounds less :)

                sweet car.


                i know ssr's comps are really lightweight, so how do they hold up to potholes, major bumps in the road etc.? i think i remember stus brother alex had these for a while and they were bent by some kind of a bump in the road.

                  They are very soft. A lot of the E46 guys I know have them. I considered them for my E46 but the roads are kind of harsh where I live. Non the less a very good performance wheel. And they look hot!!!

                      Ive heard a lot of the same hype, but then I read this:



                      The responses from the Tire Rack reps. convinced me otherwise.

                      Im running GC semi-coilovers, and I'l try to remember to measure my current fender heights tomorrow at work. ;)

                            Yeah, I know you are on GC. Me too. That's why I want to know what your heights are. :D Thanks though, I'd appreciate it.
