Default SSR Professor MS1?

Okay I've spent the whole night browsing on what wheels would look the best on my IS and I think I've found the answer. SSR Professor MS1 is just amazing.

However, they seem to be VERY expensive and difficult to get. I know WORK VSXX, but is there any other model (or a knockoff) that would look similar to it?

Oh, and feel free to post some MS1 pics as well.

I don't know about very expensive or hard to get. I say get it! Tanabe is the official U.S Distributor for SSR wheels!

As for mindf recommending BBS LM's, Don't know man. If the OP thinks the SSR is expensive. I think the BBS is a cardiac arrest.

You want a pics? Here's a pic, just cause I feel like wh0ring myself out.

My car sporting Noz's MS1. MAJOR regret not buying these from him....I know the new owner of them, I will attempt to steal it one day. I know he's reading the forums.

If you like mesh 8 spoke wheels, my 19inch 360 Forged Mesh 8 wheels will be up for sale soon. No wait time! lol...

There's plenty of pics of em' here on my IS, just search my name.

PM me if you have any interest.

Do it! Don't get knock offs, you'll regret it. MS1s are the sickness! I think the VSXX is even more expensive, no?

For a cheap mesh, you can try TSWs. Or look for a used set. Used VSXX is easier to find. MS1s are pretty rare.

Man I'm in the same boat as you are.. I don't want to get knockoffs, but being a college student the real thing is too expensive!

Check these out I was looking through some wheels last night and these Linea Corse's look pretty sick in my opinion:

Agreed with not settling for less. In the end you are still going to be unhappy with your purchase if you buy knock offs and are going to have to make reasons to justify your purchase. Saying things like "well at least i saved $600." When in the end you just aren't going to be as happy.

Linea Corse's look good, but MS1's come in step lip which i absolutely love. Plus the finish on the MS1's look a lot nicer than the linea's.

Here are some pictures of my good friend Socal35's car with 19x9 19x10 MS1's

I totally agree with you. Both the lip and the finish are why I love the MS1's so much. I've seen SoCal35's car in person at VIP and it made me fall in love all over again

But although I might regret it later, I just can't justify buying wheels as pricey as the MS1's at this stage of my life. Someday though....
