SSR Wheels Thread

They should work, but ask your dealer if it’s possible to request that SSR drill the air valve holes to accept TPMS sensors/standard schrader valves .

I forgot to even ask and the holes were slightly smaller (but the perfect size for the included valves that SSR provides). I had to order a TPMS band kit and strap the sensors to the wheels barrels.

So just ask to see if SSR can do that or if not, take your wheels to a machine shop (or someone with a good drill press/rig that can handle the job).

Oh and if you haven’t selected your authorized dealer, I suggest Josh over at Kami Speed! He’s taken care of me on 5 sets of wheels throughout the years (I need help, lol).

I've spoken with Josh a few times and the actual offset that I wanted they don't carry anymore so I had to get my rear wheels from somewhere else.

I do plan on getting at least the fronts from kamispeed though. So the factory tpms will work then despite being smaller? I'm a bit unfamiliar with the band kit you're talking about

You’ll need to get all of the wheels drilled out, unless SSR offers that directly from the factory as an option.

The TPMS sensors will not fit if you don’t drill out the holes...the standard Schrader valve is just a little too wide to fit. Here’s the band kit that I got from Amazon to give you a better idea of what I’m talking about. White Knight TPMS22105 Stainless Steel Finish TPMS Strap Kit, (Set of 4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2FCQ86..._n-XfCb1K7N1HP

Hopefully though, if SSR can drill them to the Schrader valve/TPMS diameter, you can avoid all of that.

Hope that helps!

I see. Since the wheels are already here in the states I don't see that being possible unless I send them back to SSR. I'll go ahead and grab that band kit though. Thanks for the help!

SSR GTX does not come in appropriate sizes for our car

the most aggressive setup is 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +22

weaker than your standard TE37 setup

Just a little teaser of something that's in the mix as we speak...



...and no, I'm not going to dress in drag!

My guess:

This sparks my interest

That brake kit WOULD be awesome!

Sorry for misleading the group...but since wheels are sometimes called a car's "shoes", my Z is a posh-y girl and likes fancy pumps...errr, ok, nevermind.

'nuff said, on with the show:



Just a quick iPhone pic right after the install.

I got my SP1s back last August and kinda was bummed that the flat gunmetal was a little dark (was looking for more of a contrasty look to the wheels, not for them to appear all black)...I then ventured to some Volk TE37SLs in Mag Blue (which look awesome on the car), but the Z wanted another pair of pumps.

Instead of getting yet another set (Josh @ Kami Speed would have loved me even more, lol), I decided to powder coat the centers. Tiffany Blue is a love it or hate it color, but that's what I went for, a classy look (which this pic does not do justice for).

I'll bust out the Nikon for some better pics once the weather gets better.

Now, to save up for those brakes!

Props for doing something different!

[KamiSpeed]

I still love you just the same! ^^^^^^^

Though you should jump in on those OG TE37s.........LOL

[OptionZero]

don't like the blue centers

keep the gunmetal

get the project Mu's

I think you’re headed in a good direction.

The tricky thing about dark lips is “losing” them in the tire. Just my .02, a TA stripe on the outside edge raised lip. I think there are even TA stickers now? Something that compliments the teal blue (or maybe contrast); or you could do tire stickers if you like those. Then match the lugs to that that color. White stripe, white lugs. It would break up all the black.

Or just tell me to bugger off.

I do dig them though
