Yes they are still available, I used them for winter wheels on my GS400, one winter for about 2250 miles . I took the winter tires off today and there are some scratches i didn't know were there when I wrote the add. I'll have them repainted, You can choose a finish, or I'll sell them for less. I have to see how much I can get them painted for to decide on a discount. I'm selling them because they won't clear my APracing brakes without a spacer. I'm running these same wheels in an 18" diameter now. Wheels only. For more info on the wheels: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/ssr/ssr.htm

Thanks Gain...I am also using that same wheel in an 18" diameter.(18x8"+35F, 18x9"+45R)
I just recently put on the SupraTT calipers up front and the SSR cleared it perfectly w/out spacer. Do you have clearance w/the APracing caliper w/out using spacers? I am selling the 18" SSR and upgrading to another wheel. My idea was to find a 17" wheel other than the Lexus factory 17's, that would clear the caliper, and act as a back up(winter) set of wheels. I think Im going to use the stock wheels from a 93-98 SupraTT for back-ups. Any suggestions? Also, would you mind divulging which mods you have on your car?? Let me know, Tiny

wheels
the 18"s clear the brakes without a spacer. The brakes are the 6 piston set so they're just too big for the 17" wheels, I'm going to try some 17's with a spoke design that goes straight from the hub to the edge of the rim and hopefully those will clear.

While we're on the topic of wheel spacers...
What made you decide to not get them.
I am thinking of putting them on for my stock 17's in the rear to achieve that staggered look. Bad idea????
Thanks
