I have been playing around with the idea of changing my rims and I would like to go with SSR GT3's. A few questions?

1) How well do they fit on f-bodys?

2) What are the backspacing on these rims,
18x8.5 and 18x11.

3) Does anybody have pics of them on a f-body.

I was thinking of getting the same rims or the XMS wheel from extreme in the same size.

There is a F-body on here that 19inch all the way around, someone has that pic on here somewhere.

Houdini, do you know how much the rims go for?

 

Johnnyboy - Through tire rack you can get them for $529.00 18x8.5, $559.00 18x10, $599.00 19x8.5, $639.00 19x10.

They also make 18x11 and 19x11 but I cant find a price on them.

I think SSR makes great wheels all around. While the GT3's are not my cup 'o tea, I do like them better than a lot of the wheels people are putting on their F-body's. I have the SSR Integrals and absolutely love their looks. The one thing I will say is, these wheels can be touchy. Before I bought mine, they were described as being "fragile" and while I wouldn't go that far, care should be taken with them if you have them on your daily driver. I have them as a daily driver and the roads around here are very unforgiving. So I have had to have them balanced a couple of times in the 2+ years I have owned them, but they are well worth it.

If they were to make the Integrals in an 11" wide version, I might have to see if I can <ahem> break two... I thought they only came in 9".

Anyway, if you plan on using them as a summer-only or showcar wheel, then I'd say go for it. They have one of the best painted lokos to them that I've ever seen. More of a pearly silver than just silver.

That's my boyfriends car posted above, and it's sitting in my driveway as I type this (he's asleep). Have no idea who is hosting the pics, but it's not us. The GT3's are lighter than his stock 10-spoke chrome wheels. If you're interested in buying them, you have to order them specifically for a BMW. The lug pattern is off by .6mm, but don't worry they will fit. SSR doesn't make them for our lug pattern. Here are some newer pics.

Oh and to answer your original questions:

They fit FINE on Fbodies. No problems here, the car is his daily driver.

Backspacing is 37 or 38 on a 19 x 9.5.

For pics, see above. You need more, let me know. We have TONS of pics.

 

Hey CamaroWhit, what year/model/make of BMW would I have to say when ordering these rims? Which BMW model/make did you use?
Thanks
