I am interested in putting SSR GT3 wheels on my 2001 Orient Red Turbo. I already have done a GT2 tail and front and now I want to get it lowered, put in a Stage IV and new wheels.

Has anyone put these wheels on your car? Pics? What size did you do? Would my painted Porsche center caps fit?


Thanks
Chuck

 

Here is Ken's (KPV) 996TT with SSR GT3's, I will let him comment about them, but wanted to get you the pics in case he didn't see this...

I have detailed a couple of cars with these wheels and have been impressed with the build quality and finish. The lip is much more durable than HREs and never stains. The spoke are easy to clean and they give the car a very sport appearence. I personally htink they look great, go for them!

 

make sure you get 19inch...18inch dont do the wheels justice

 

I have them the 19 inch wheels on 315/25/19 rears and 265?/25/19 fronts. These wheels are wicked, I love them!

You can't get the 315's here in the states yet but Gert from Carnewal will sell them to you. Just click on his link on the right hand side of this site.

 

What type and brand of tires should you get with a 19in wheel?

 

What you talkin bout willice, conti 315's are available herefrom tire rack, just not the yoko's....
Evan

 

The 315's Conti's are available at Tirerack.com I have a set in the garage that I got from them recently. They may take a while to get but at 328.00 a piece I don't think you will beat the price...

Several board members have ordered them from Tirerack.

 

Righto there Evan I meant to say the YOKO's!

 

Is that just in reference to the diameter? The lips are the same size on 18" ans 19".

 

Where do you get the SST GT3's and how much do the cost?

Tim

 

Tim, TIRERACK.COM good prices.

 

hey Evan, what wing is on that black porsche? is that OEM?

 

is SSR GT3 wheels lighter than the HRE's????

 

The fronts weigh approx. 24 lbs, while the rears tip the scales at about 31 lbs, if my memory serves me right.
