Count me in too if you decide to sell your ME's. Not a huge fan of that SSR, but not a bad choice either way.

I'm pretty sure the ME's will go up for sale when the SSR's go on. I have just a bit of uncertainty because I beleive the ME is the "perfect" wheel for the ISx50. But, I needed to try another look. I have the Fabulous kit coming in soon as well as the OEM side skirts and rear wing already here. I must have spent hours trying to decide what color ans size SSR's to get. ...do I go aggresive and lose everyday drivability w/ stretched tires, ...or stay with what we know is safe and what works. I'm wishing now I had a black car as well, ...for the options on wheel colors would have been easier. I originally chose the silver, but then opted for the Super Black Coat (like RAYS SMC finish) upon finally placing the order. I also went with the "safe" route, as this is my daily, and sometimes the wife drives it. ...you can tell from the "minor" rashes on the current ME's (sorry guys). I'll be getting 19x10 +49 and 19x8.5 +37. The wheels are supposedly due in mid-late January, ...and i'm still looking for tires.

...again, if these work out, I will put up the ME's for sale. I'm sure they will find a good home.

nice rims but i agree and think you have the "perfect" rim for the car already. maybe have them powdercoated black if that is the look you are going for?

if you are interested in selling the ME rims i would be interested as i see others would be also.

good luck in your decision!

only avail in SBC (Super Black Coat), looks like a polished wheel, Black, Matte Black, Silver and Gold. If Gunmetal was an option I would have done that, but i't not taking apart the wheels just to paint, too much risk of a leak IMO.
