Honestly I prefer that Watanabe than the SSR...it just make your car look sooooooo tough!

Enkei RP-01 14x6j +32mm, 185/60/R14 R888's. Pretty light. I really really like the watanabes in black/gunmetal or bronze. One day... :cry:

Would you consider a swap for your ssrs for my watties one day in the VERY distant future (if I ever get sick of my wheels)?

Im looking at going back to Watanabes, I have found a 15\" set just like the one's I sold you Raymo, but the offset is around the +30 mark. I think ill pick them up..

Thanks. The only thing wrong with them is that you can't fit a big brake kit inside them. But tyres are cheap and the white and red looks pretty good.

What are you getting to replace yours? I think 15" looks the best on the NA, its just...proportional.

Hey Ryan,

Why are you going back to the watties? You weren't happy with the sportmaxs?

Yeah I sold the Sportmax a few weeks back. They look great, but they screwed with the handling too much. I found that the car understeered alot more than normal, and I could never really get rid of the scrubbing.
