Well they should be here in a few weeks...:)
|
Those wheels should look great on that car...did you ever get the stock wheel studs weighed?
|
Will post the weight tonight, have the scale there...
|
Congratulations! I love that wheel.
I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish i wish tonight..... |
cortc, where did you get those wheels? I love SSR stuff, lightwieght and strong.
|
don't care for the rivets, but those are sweet.
|
Are you getting those for your car? What will you do with the Hiros?
|
i suppose you gotta have the rivets if you want three piece wheels...and who doesn't want three piece wheels? :D and ranger, if you check the parts for sale forum, you'll see that cortc has offered the Hiros up for a pretty good price...of course, they might be taken already...

here's another pic of a member with the ssr professors (fronts) https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=18394
|
The stock lugs are 2.1oz each, the new titanium ones are .96oz each...
Yes the SSRs are 3 piece, you can actually get three piece wheels with hidden bolts HRE makes some but they are really expensive and HREs are not that light... The hiros are for sale... |
How much are you selling them for cortc? I don't see them in the forsale forum.
|
There is a post...
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=35644 You can have the wheels for 1,250 + 50 for shipping and I can get you a set of tires for 596.00 + 50 for shipping... |
Good choice, I like them better than the gunmetal hiros.

I saw three pairs of these at a car show in cali today
|
Well, they are very good wheels; some specs:
Front (19x8.5 47mm Offset 34mm Lip) 20.5lbs Rear (19x9.5 55mm Offset 59mm Lip) 21.5lbs Tires will be Hankook Ventus K104s 235/35-19 and 265/30-19 f/r TPMS should work... |
congrats... those are actually my current favorites, I cannot I'm not jealous... so i'll just say this... I'm JealouS!!!!!!!!!
BTW how much did they set you back? |
Those wheels are pretty damn cool, but I can't imagine them on an RX-8. To each his own. :)
|
I almost bought professors actually i did but the guy i bought them from lied about stock.I wanted the hyper silver.I actually just ordered them again for my 7 since it wont be running till next year i can wait 10 weeks.
|
Yes, mine were special order as well, they are coming from Japan...
|
They cost me 2,650.00 delivered, and should be here by the end of September... The car is now sitting on jack stands in the garage as I sold the Axis hiros...
|
Yummy. SSR wheels are one of my faves. :)
cortc, you have the wheel setup that I want, minus the tire aspect ratio. Aren't they a little bit too low-profile? |
Well they are 19s, and yes they have a slightly smaller rolling diameter but not enough to be a problem... The stock is 25.9 and the 235/35 & 265/30s are 25.4, that is 820 vs. 804 Revolutions-Per-Mile respectively...
|
Oops. I didn't see the 19" in your sig. My setup is similar, but using 18" ADVAN RG's. I need money. :(
|
Well the ship leaves Japan today for the US and my wheels are loaded on it in a container... It should be another 3 weeks till I get them... That wait is killing me...:)
|
Do you think the wider tires in back will negatively impact handling? There was an article about the JIC car, and they had some problems running wider rear tires.
