Shopping for wheels for the ISF is tough, since there's a narrow window of sizes that will clear the bbk and not rub fenders. After some homework, I decided on a set of SSR Type F's in flat black. They're reasonably light at about 19lb front and 21lb rear, and they don't break the bank either.

Tanabe currently has them in stock so they'll be on by next week

 

congrats! they're gonna look great on your SGM.

 

Looking forward to the pictures. Good choice

 

NICE! I was looking at those rims too. I wonder how it will look on the car. If you don't mind sharing, what size and offsets you go with?

Thanks.

 

Top secret offsets










j/k I don't why people keep offsets secret anyway.

I got 19 x 8.5 42mm front, 19 x 9.5 38mm rear. I was afraid the rears might rub a little bit, but I took measurements with the suspension compressed and they'll clear with my 275/30 tires. The fronts are a little weak on the offsets though, but I don't mind...I'm not going for the "hella flush" look.

I photochopped the wheels on my car too...I'll post the pic when I get home from work.

 

good choice, will look good on your car

 

Here's the picture that sold me on the wheels.

 

+1! Never understood why, maybe they like being unique being the one with that specific offset only, or they they spent so much time finding out the 'perfect fit' that they feel that they can't give out the info for free.

Those are some sweet wheels though, please post some pics after!

 

Those look beautiful...good choice man.

 

lol Mugen. Thanks for sharing the offsets with us. Those rims look amazing on that car.

I believe you are lowered, and the 19x9.5 +38 R will not rub at all? That would be sweeeeeeet.

Congrats on the wheels.

 

Looks good. Can't wait to see them on the car !

 

Nice wheels. These are about 3 lbs (each) lighter than the new 2011 stock rims, right?

 

Luckily, the 275/30 Dunlop Direzza DZ101's shoulders are quite a bit narrower than other 275/30's. The additional offset will push the shoulder of the tire out by 17mm, while outer lip of the tire will be pushed out 23.4mm overall. With the rear suspension compressed such that the shoulder of the tire lines up with the fender, I measured out 20mm of clearance between the inside of the fender and sidewall of the tire.

I'm pretty sure it should clear, but rolling / shaving may be necessary. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

niiice... they remind of the volk CE28s and their weights are nearly the same

 

Nice!!!
They kind of look like advans too...
