Yes I agree about the SSR's, still mulling it over in my head and trying to find the best deal out there. While I can afford to do the 1800 dollar wheel deal, several other things start entering my mind as far as that money being better spent. When I was looking at 800, that was one thing, 1800 is quite another. Still mulling it over...
I found the same thing when I called wheelmax, they guy there didn't identify several wheels that I knew came in our bolt pattern with an acceptable offset. Oh well, product expertise is hard to come by these days...
I wish I could see a picture of an SVT with the 18" SSR's...
EDIT: BTW, found an interesting
wheel weight site , quite a few brand name wheels listed there with complete weight info, which is hard to come by so I found it very helpful...
