Default My gs4 with SSR GT3's

Just got the wheels, but haven't decided on the drop i need.

By the way, those are SpeedStar Racing (SSR) GT3's with Bridgestone S-03 tires, 275 rear.

IMO those are the absolute sickest sporty spoke rims out there. Looks awesome on your ride. Now lower that ride!

Before you drop it like it's hot, drop drop drop it like it's hot...
1. You have to decide if you are going to add a kit on your car in the near future.
2. Also, what kind of ride quality are you looking for.
3. The closer the fender well meets the tire= the bigger the rim will look.

And yes Coilovers are the best way to go, if you can afford it, because of it's flexibility. But if not, then ask yourself these questions, and you can find the right suspension setup from jump.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!

My Dad has pretty much the same setup. '01 GS430 Cherry red. His are 18's with SO3 Pole Positions. They look great, handle nice but there's one problem...THEY'RE HEAVY. Well over 55 pounds per wheel. I'll stick with the 17's SSR Integrals and Dunlops. They tip the scales at a little over 40 pounds per wheel. Minimalist approach.

GT3...great looking! Just watch out for the crooks....

Actually i think these are some of the lighter 19's i've seen out there after some research. I'm not a wheel expert but the semiforged is a lighter and strong wheel.
