Default take a sec and choose...SSR's or SS6's

i am having a hard time deciding on my new wheels between the 18" SSR Competitions (shown 1st) and the 18"Compionato SS6. Forgive the photoshop job, and cheers to the owner of this fine silver example whose car i used. I want somthing to make the car a bit "sportier" as you can tell by the styles i like. Which do you like better?

I like the SSRs better, almost bought that exact set myself. They're nice and light plus good quality. Search the wheels forum for some more photoshops of them on GSs.

The only thing you might regret in the long run is the dark color. I went back and forth a lot on deciding if the wheels would look 'dirty' all the time or not.

SSR. They do look a bit like the 16" wheels that come on the GS3, tho.

That's probably because it's a photoshop job and they're not shown big enough.

Liazon:

Dammit order these things and end this thread!

Here's a link to a post I made on them a while back.

Bit - here's a quick photochop I made with them too BIG back when I was considering them. They do look really cool that way, though...

Another thing I like about SSR wheels other than the looks and quality are the weights. 15 lbs for the 18x8(Comp.)...17.7 lbs for the 18x9.5's:eek:.
