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.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

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.
