Default 18" SSR GT1 or 19" Moda R6

the GT1s are lighter (under 20 lbs), more different from stock (still similar thou), BUT only go up to 18", and are more expensive (~$399/wheel)
the Moda R6 are heavier (~28lb), look pretty much the same as stock, come in 19X8 and 19X9, and are cheaper (~$289/wheel for 19X8 and ~$249/wheel for 19X9)

SSR GT1 18"

(sorry about borrowing the pic)

Moda R6 19"


and for reference, i have lsportline kit and will be lowered on Tein HA's about 1.5-2"

btw, pls no comments about how getting stock looking wheels is a waste of money. i like the stock look, and just want bigger wheels. if there was the option of the stock rims in 18 or 19 i woulda jumped on it!

I like the look of both wheels a lot. I would take the Moda over the GT1's but if you throw in the GT3's, I would take that over both of them

Speed Star Racing. One of the top wheel makers. SSRs on a Japanese car look wonderful. I like the split spokes as well.

JDM babay!

I'd go with the SSR's. But, weight is a big deal for me. If you're not as concerned with your acceleration then save the dough and go with the Modas.

I love the Moda R6's I was going to get them but I found a better deal for the Mille Milgia Evo 5 on Tire Rack which looks simliar.

The Moda R6 has a good clean look..I would pick it over any car..It makes any car looks nice... Also, because I love the 5 spoke design!

This is my first time visiting this thread and the pics don't seem to show up. What did you end up going with? I was thinking along the same lines as you about a year ago and went with the R6's. I only wanted 18" but have got nothing but positive comments about them and have had no problems. Whatever you chose, enjoy! Nothing like a new set of wheels!!
