Yeah, there's a story behind that. Someone either stole one of the caps, or it fell off.

These are the only documented SSR A-dish wheels in the US as far as I know, and they are also out of production (replaced by Vienna dish), so getting a replacement center cap is impossible. I am just going to buy a full-set of SSR Vienna Dish center caps though, when I have some more money laying around.

Anyways... I live in a pretty good area, and park in areas where it would be very hard to steal the rims, plus my car is garaged at night, so the chances of them getting stolen are slim.

Pfantom,, I remember your original post for when you were about to get the car. The pic with the snow on the hood sparked off the memory. For some reason, I never put 2 and 2 together and realises this was you. Car looks really good man.!!!

Yep, it's come a long way. Thanks for the positive comments guys!

I just can't wait until I get some tints and get my Magnaflow mufflers on there. Then I can officially call it quits and stop wasting money on it. lol

It is crazy how good your car looks - could pass for a new one. The 98-00 wheels will make a nice difference. Looking forward to seeing the updated photo.

Haven't posted since I painted the car monotone, blacked out the grill, dropped the springs to their lowest perch and upsized the rear tires - It all started with wheels. Back then I thought that would be the end of it.
