Whose car is this?

Saw this car floating around the 'net.

Wondering what size wheels these are, and suspension? It looks really badass.

SSR type F, prolly 18's {edit} no 4 lug showing in 18's must be 17's [/edit]
you might be able to figure it out here, I'd bet they went with the bigger offsets like around 48, with some clicking you can see SSR's offsets & weights.

On the suspension, that car has been around awhile and coilovers have been available in Japan for a good bit like RS*R and maybe Buddy Club and Cusco

SSR Wheels

oh now i see it, i dont know why it didnt show up the first time haha.

yea Tork is right; those are ssr type-f. i would say those look like either 16 or 17s maybe if you just call ssr and ask them they can provide the info.

Thanks guys a lot! Yeah, i did look through SSR's website.

I think the reason they cost a lot is because they are forged (like the rays wheels).

Well worth it though, i would buy a set.

i don't see what the big deal is,.. those rims are okay at best (just my .02)

car is overall clean though.
17's can be pulled off on a GE, so i'll give it that.

Those wheels are sick! They look good on the with polished lip. I bet they're a PITA to clean though. I had FR500 wheels on my Mustang GT and I hated cleaning wheels with all those spokes.

From what i know, the enkei wheels are just painted and clearcoated. I have heard quite a few reports of the clear peeling on those wheels. Granted they are cheaper, and no one might care on the track. The SSRs are powdercoated like the Rays race wheels, which is only one step below anodized wheels. Much more durable finish.
