Rod Millen IS430 V8 w/SSR SP1's reverse lip and really high offsets haha!

Haha! They are definitely a favorite of mine since this is my second set. My friend supplied the SSR wheels used by RMS on the car. PDO Performance Dealer Options was the name of the now defunct company. It's also the place I got my first set of SP1's

Looking good! I was scared of running anything less than a 30 profile, but if you can rock it, IMO looks great when it's thinner. Good work!

A bit of an old-skool wheel but it looks darn good on that ISF. Good enough that I would drive this ride.

They look fantastic but I would've went with the SBC finish, you would've been much happier.

With the 30 on there I couldn't have the ride height where I wanted it and have people in the back without it rubbing.

Yeah Javier, having them on the car for only 24 hours sucked. I'm putting the stock wheels back on the car to drop the car off at the body shop tomorrow.

Thanks! I went out of my way to not get SBC, I know what they look like and I wasn't going for chrome on my car. I ordered these because this is what I wanted so I couldn't be any happier with the way they turned out. I would be happier if they were free and I didn't get rear ended

N54MPower, your IS-F looks sweet! Definitely one of my top 3 favorites thus far! Do you by chance know how much the wheels weigh?

Unique for sure if I saw you on the road

I think the SSR professor is the "cleaner" of the two compared to it's more expensive sibling the Work Meister S1r's that I had on my s2000.

Forget it, the stretched look is awesome - I run the Toyos and loved the stretched look on my BBS LM wheels. It looks stretched but it's NOT stretched. Toyo T1r is a sweet tire. I tried other brands like Yokohama, Pirelli but all of them look fat in comparison with this ugly thick sidewall.

Wow! Thanks! I actually didn't weigh but they are 3 piece wheels and they are heavier than stock.

I've been using the T1R,RA1 and the R888 (for a brief period) for the last 7 years. I like them a lot escpecially for the $$ to performance ratio they offer.
