Default 20" SSRs + Tein H-Techs [Pics]

Took some pix this morning! Big ups to the guys @ VIP Status. Originally I wanted the Work T1S, but these 3-piece SSRs are much better. I believe these are one of the first sets of 20s available in the US. The quality of these wheels are immaculate, right on par with the set of Volks LE37s I had on my previous car.

Car feels much more planted now with the wider tires. The springs feel great, ride is about the same as stock, but less travel = less bounce. Handling feels nice and tight.

SSR MS-1/Gloss Black/Step lip
20x9 (+37) F
20x10.5 (+43) R

Falken FK452s

The MS-1s is one of my favorite SSR wheels. They look perfect on the F!

Those look awesome, nice job.

Do the tires rub any? Turning lock to lock or under heavy loads?

Thanks guys. Wheels are quite heavy. 29lb F and 30lb R. I have rubbing in the front during hard turns and bumps, but not against the fenders, rather on the inside plastic lining since I'm running a thicker tire than recommended (35 vs 30). They suggested to just leave it as-is, and eventually the "excess" will be scrapped away. LOL.

Yea these also come in SBC (Almost chrome) or silver.
