Is this Wayne's car? I think he mentioned to me before that he got them off Tire Rack back when they threw them on a closeout sale (and no, they are no longer available from TR). Whatever they are, they look awesome...

I have similar ones (these are now on The Kraken until I get my 19" Sport Edition Cup 4s fitted; coming soon), but yes they are SSR knock-offs. Mine are made by "Modular Performance" and might be for sale soon unless whoever buys my black one decides they like those more than the Cup IIs currently on it.

Tires: Fronts are 225/40/18. Rears are 265/35/18s, I think (might be 40 profiles on the rear, too).

The wheels on the silver car are genuine SSR GT3 wheels.

The OP pic is my car. They were SSR GT3's and I do not recommend them. Had cracking problems of the inner barrels. Moot point as they are no longer available. I've since replaced them with Kenesis wheels. Beautiful wheels and were VERY easy to keep clean, but problematic at best.

My copies are not true three pieces. So far so good in terms of bending/cracking; they've actually shown to be remarkably durable, given the awful Baltimore streets on which I'm forced to drive.

I'ev not seen mine on eBay in a while, but a guy local to me throws them up on Craigslist from time to time, including a 19" version.

I've got the same Knock-offs on mine. I love the look, I love the CIIIs but they're everywhere. Mine are 18" and I've had 'em on for two years and had no troubles.



Quick Reply: can anyone tell me what wheels these are?
