they look almost like the real thing! but I almost think that I like the color of these ones better. Get some pics of them on your car.

Yeah I have to get some tires first. That might help. If I was to mount them without tires and without my H&R's they would look like s**t. More pics will come when it gets closer to spring.

Re: Rate my new rims

I THINK THAT THEY'RE SWEET. THEY LOOK A LOT LIKE THE SSR GT1 SERIES. I THINK THAT THEY'LL LOOK REALLY GOOD ON ONCE YOU DO IT. DO U MIND IF I ASK WHERE YOU GOT THEM, AND HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR THEM? THANKS, AND GOOD LUCK.

I got them from Victoriatire. THey were the cheapest I could find. I have been searching for a long time. I paid $200 a piece. Not too bad for Nakayamas I think. THey are at least $250 anywhere else.

The 17" are about 19.3 lbs so I am guessing these are about 20lbs. Check out this wheel weight chart.

Dang a little heavier than I was hoping. Oh well. Where is that place you bought them? Is it a web store or a place in your area?

Well I am not sure what you are planning on buying but these are not that heavy. Look at some of the weights of MOMO. 30 lbs!!! THis is the URL to that store. Really great prices, ships fast too. Damn I should get commission for saying that.

Yeah MOMO have always been known to be heavy. I was realy hoping to look around 17 pounds or so. Hmm maybe though these are nice enough to consider it even for the extra weight. Thanks for the link.

I saw a car here where i live, Dalton Ga, that had them. It is a Mazda Millinia? Not sure on the spelling of it. If they look as good as they did on this car i saw they will look tight on a maxima.

I couldn't have said it better! i've been thinking about dropping that $2K for the GT1's and haven't found any better deals.

mass_maxx's wheels are nearly 1/2 the price of the ssr's...hmm..

nice choice!

About time someone responded to hyperblack rims, i like those rims a lot. I went another route with some 18 X 8 black opal verdicts. I've also heard of something called HMC black. Power to dark wheels!

Hmmm..... I wonder how they would look in a regular silver. So did that place you bought them from ship pretty fast?

THey shipped almost right away. I think they ship the next day or a couple days after they get the order. It takes 7-10 days ground. I think that is pretty good to me. I have had to wait longer for stuff from Greg, not saying Greg is slow. What is the best price anyone has seen on the Kumho's?

Some of those weights on that sight are wrong or are confused. I know that the MOMO's are heavier than specified. Those rims look like some of the Ace wheels with the split spokes

I think if you wait a bit sometimes I noticed that tirerack get salse righ around the begining of spring for summer tires. They did before anyhow. Maybe they will drop it a bit for you then.

I have a set of the real SSR GT1's in my kitchen (what yours are clones of) .. they weigh a lil under 17lbs i think.. somewhere around there. Im probably gonna sell them. Having 3 sets of wheels is useless unless i get a lot of flats..

Clones??!! I refuse to believe my rims are clones of anything. Nakayama Racing Sports. Its not like its K-mart over here. I never thought having a certain brand of rims was such a big deal. " Ohh no!! , I am gonna have to bring my clone wheels back" I LOVE MY WHEELS!!!! Dont give me that clone S**T!!
