[5sfeTurbo]

Just seeing what everyone thinks of them, sorry no-pic but Im surer most of you know the stlye. Little pricey but weigh 13 pounds and look amazing.

[Coomer]

I really like them. Which size weighs 13 lbs.?

[FallenHero]

probably 15's. They would be nice on the track, but just how much time will you be spending one the track? Get 17's. They are more fun....

[5sfeTurbo]

No, the 17's tirerack said weighed 13.3 pounds or so.

[FallenHero]

... that's a little hard to believe.

[Coomer]

Well, I know the 17x8.5" version of the wheel is 15.1 lbs., so I'd imagine that a 17x7" version might weigh 13.3 lbs.

I absolutely love the look of the SSR Competitions...those are what i planned on getting eventually after i get my bodywork done this spring. I looked at some other 6 spokes alot like the SSR's, but theyre much heavier.

i agree veryyyyyyyy sweet rims i love those, the all so famous TE-37's and my fav OZ Superllegera's

The 17x8s are about 15-16lbs, thats what we run on the touring cars. I'm not sure I would run them on the street unless you're used to being a careful driver. As a result of being so light, they're also pretty fragile. We rarely leave a race without 3 or 4 bent wheels. Granted we're bouncing a 2700lb car over race track curbs at 100+ miles an hour, but still, what a pita. Oh, but they look sooooo sweet. One of the sexiest rims ever.

We also run the TE37s on some tracks. They seem to be a lot stronger and about the same weight or slightly lighter. We rarely find them to be bent.
