Looks great!

Did you have to wait long to get those rims?

Thanks mate, i actually bought them off someone who imported them but then changed their mind and wanted 15x8's. Don't really see the need and the fitment is perfect for a lowered nb8b, no guard work required! Keep lurking the for sale sections, they do come up from time to time.

been hunting a set of these for a year and finally got my hands on a set!

og axis banzai 15x8 +25

had to fit my braided brake lines to fit them without a spacer, i think in this profile shot it had 3mm spacers on the front

Ermahgerd. Specs on the SSR's? More pics? (And I don't suppose you weighed them before fitting tyres?)

Sneak peek:

Finally arrived from the US. Couldn't get tyres fitted in time, so more photos next week.
Decided to test fit it today after a wash/polish.

Those photos don't do it justice

Looks much better in real life - I think there was talk of a SE photo shoot in Perth

Have some AO50 225 50 15s sitting in the garage that would look great on those :mrgreen:

Still keen on that! Between you, me, Swordfish and Okibi that's all the colours variants for the SE which would look great in a photo.

I didn't weigh them to be honest, as they arrived with the tyres
All wheel spec databases list them as around 4-5kg, but more towards the lighter end if you know what I mean.
They are very very light.
Specs are 16x7 +33
The centre caps only fitted the fronts so I had to order caps for the rears, as the stub axle nut/bolt protrudes too far out for the low profile centre caps.
Note I have just added a set of ssr type c in 15x7" for use as my track set ;)

Wheels are very much a personal thing, I love these in this colour, and may decide to paint my (new) black ones in the same colour, or in bronze.
