19" Ssr Gt3

I am really interested in getting these rims and was wondering where the best place was to get these rims. Also i read on one of the previous threads that SSR does not make these rims for the camaro in 19" and that you need to order them for a BMW. What model BMW do you need to order these for? Thanks

How do you think these wheels will look on my Z, do you think silver or satin would look better.

I like the look of those - satin I think would look best on your vehicle.

Be careful if you plan to put these on your daily driver.

They are gourgous wheels that I have admired for a while, that are also easy to clean, lightweight, but soft.

What do you mean by weak? Like they are easy to bend? Because this will be on my daily driver and i do take the corners pretty hard with my suspension setup.
Does anyone know who owns that blue SS with these rims? He could help a lot here.

Thanx

Do a search on the board regarding this topic.
I will have to strongly disagree with this opinion...

There is only a .2% difference between the distance on the lugs when comparing a 5x120mm bolt pattern to a 5x120.65mm bolt pattern. (120mm / 120.65mm = .9946% / 5 = .199% between each lug...)

As far as "exact" match, all mass produced parts are built with a manufacturing tolerance to account for variances between individual vehicles, manufacturing runs, etc. I can guarantee you that there are very few if any wheels built with that small of a manufacturing tolerance.

I have bolted up 3 sets of 5x120 wheels on my car made by two different manufacturers, and every set bolted up just like the factory rims.....

Trust me, if I gave you two sets of the same model rims, one 5x120mm and the other 5x120.65mm bolt pattern, you would not know the difference when you bolted them on.

This thread should help you out a bit.

And this one should give you some more inside look to the fitment.

TA25th makes a very good point.

Specifications aren't as exact as alot of people would like to think.

So not only are we talking about .199 % difference, but we are also talking about that difference being in a circle, and if you picture in your head what he is getting at, it starts to make more sense.

Someone on this board posted a webiste of wheels boutique, and if you look under camaro they have the GT3s available in 19x9.5 so looks like i don't need to get them for a BMW. Just need to worry about the structure integrity of the wheel. What do you guys think?
