Nissan 370Z Forum  

Opinions on SSR wheels please.

I would like to see what a set of 19"s look like on a 370. That rendering says those are 20"s and IMO a little too big. If you do

If you do end up getting these for your friend let us know what off-set and wheel size you get and get some pictures. An awesome looking set of wheels for sure

I tried googling for 19inch MS1s on a 370Z, but no luck.

Please post up pictures when you get those MS1s on the G35.

With regards to the "made in Taiwan" comment;

Do we know if SSR outsources labor to Taiwan to make the wheels? I know SSR is a Japanese company, but do we have any proof that their wheels are actually made in Taiwan?

SSR has two factories. One in Yao, Japan, and the other in Nara, Japan. I don't think Chan Chee Hoe (the guy who made that remark) knows what he's talking about. (This is the same guy who asked about Slick 50. I'm just waiting for him to ask about the Turbonator.) If there is any proof that SSR outsources to Taiwan, then I challenge CCH to produce it. I haven't been able to find any after various searches in Google.

Here is a link to the SSR website with pics of their new Type F on a Red 370Z.

19 inch appears to be the largest diameter, with 8.5, 9.0, 9.5 and 10.5 inch widths

Looks like i might be going with the set of these very soon. I talked to SSR and they have a shipment of 20 x 9.5/10.5s in a couple of different colors coming in 370Z fitments.

I'm more than likely going to settle for the SSR's. Volks are a close second though...

I would call them and find out what colors, sizes and offsets they are coming in....then try to shop around for the best price.
