Hmmmm....no mention of size, strength or weight?
Well the sizes are 18x8+29 & 18x9+37, I don't remember the weight but it was pretty close to the wheels I just had on there. If you're wondering about the tires, they're Falken FK 452's 245/45/18, 100Y, 28.2 lbs with a max load of 1,764lbs.& 275/40/18, 99Y, 30.1lbs, with a max load of 1,709lbs.

Solini, forgot to mention, but Meguiars NXT "insane shine" - or something like that - tire shine will make your lower trim look like it's painted black. That's what I use and it really looks black like the body. Good enough till I end up getting it painted.


Yeah, thanks Falk, I actually just went out and bought Mother's Back to Black, but haven't had time to try it yet, maybe later today, if this doesn't work i'll try Meguiars NXT

Check out the tutorial in my sig, for some tips/help on how to upload/post pics ... you seem to have the upload part done, the posting tips should help.
Thanks Rex... I found out what I was doing wrong and am now able to post pics with no problem, thanks everyone

I guess I should've made the title say I finally have my SSR Viennas. But yes SSR-Speedstar Racing makes them, they sell certain models here in the US. I even think tirerack.com has some. I haven't checked the link yet, but a friend of mine told me about some meet I believe in Rockville this weekend. I might go just to mess with his co-worker who has 20's on his Q . On an off note I find it humorous when a person tells you lowering your car will ruin your struts/springs, but then a month or two later wants your help to find springs to lower their car, lol

SSR are good quality wheels. TR doesn't handle all of them because of finish issues. TR want s them to last at least a year on the street without cosmetic deterioration.

So far I love them . Just have to watch out for these DC area pot holes ... Speaking of cosmetic deterioration. Come winter time I think i'm going to have them polished and repainted then most likely sell them to my boy that has anchors on his Q, or someone else.

I lost a front anti-roll bar to a steel plate in D.C. on my '74 Ghia back in the day, D.C. streets = teh suxorz. Now imagine a place thats about 100x the size of D.C. and you have an idea of L.A. streets.

I think that they are "an addition to" not a replacement.http://www.falkentire.com/main.htm
