not only performance, but now better MPG they are touting.
(that's why I got them, MPG as much as performance)
Trying to cuddle up to hybrid owners too.
They show stock Prius and Insight wheel weights, and their wheel weights.
Interesting, first wheel company to market 'green energy saving wheels' I believe. SSR Wheels

Newer cars and babes pics **possibly NWS ** not work safe possibly if yer company is conservative. Maybe not, but it is better to warn than not to.

ssr isn't the first to do this. i can't remember the company, but it might have been volk racing. they offered a lightweight wheel and tried to market it as being good for fuel economey and hybrids a couple of years ago.
k i think the wheels i was talking about are the volk racing ce28 eco drives
Never caught that and I have owned Volks in the past, thanks. Guys on the Hybrid forums are even mounting full disc wheel covers for MPG

Definitely one of my top 3 wheel choices the RPF1's, they are on the 'green energy saving list' whether they market them that way or not.

yah, how 'green' can that be wasting a lot of fuel making such a small production run wheel vs OE wheels.
pretty sneaky advertisement.

But, a lot of manufacturers make aftermarket wheels. I think it's very positive that SSR is taking the step to show that they support the hybrid/small car market. They have been making the Type C for a while now, so offering options to the Hybrid owners is not a bad idea. Especially if it does improve mileage, and handling performance as most of those cars are boats.
And I saw the Volk Racing site, it doesn't look 1/2 as good as the SSR one.
