Exclamation Need Opinion on White 17" SSR Professor on SSM Fit.

I have to opportunity to pick up some 17" SSR's in white with a polished lip and was wondering:
a) what is the going price on these wheels with good tires?
b) do you think that white wheels with polished lip would look good on an 07' SSM Fit sport?


Here is a pic of the wheels I'm looking @. Thanks in advance

They seem like pretty expensive rims, since they're SSR's. Not sure how much they retail for, but they're about $400 each on ebay. I'd say if you can get them for $1200-1500 w/ good tires then it's a good deal. What size tires come with it?

IMO, these would look great on a SSM. I like white on silver better than black on silver.

The tires are 205/45 and they have around 90% thread according to the seller. Specs are 17x7 and 17x7.5 and were on an EM2 Civic so I shouldnt have a problem with them fitting. My fenders are rolled too

I'm diggin it the only difference is I'll have a polished lip. I hope the rears will fit properly. They are a +30 offset and a 7.5" width

I'm a little worried how they would fit with that much tire if you are lowered even if you have rolled fenders. But those rims are sexy as hell!!!

Im a little worried too but I guess I'll just have to see how they fit on there.
Worst case I guess I can take off the fender lining in the front and make room in there.
What really is worrying me is that offset in the rear

you never know until you try
and if you're getting them for such a good deal its not like you're losing much
you could always sell them. or raise your rear up, but for the color combo.. i dont see why not
white wheels are sex.. but a PITA to keep clean. i wipe mine down everyday.
i've had friends who didnt take care of their white wheels and later on they ended up an offwhite color
kinda yellowish.

I know what you mean. I keep my car pretty clean washing it at least once a week. Those wheels seem to be pretty easy to clean too, much easier than the BBS RS replicas I had. Those where a biatch!
Thanks for the inputs much appreciated!
Keep 'um coming

I ended up getting them. I test fitted them and there is no way the tires would fit`. The fronts are 215/45 and the rears are 225/45.
One of them was off white looks like it was hanging out in the sun
Any way I could bring the white back to life?

Yeah, 215's/245's def won't fit. I guess they weren't 205's like you anticipated. Are you gonna get new tires?

Yeah I'm going to have to. The tires it came with are pretty new so I'm going to try to sell them. It may be a little difficult I have no idea which cars would use that setup. I need 205/40's and I shouldnt have any problems with fitment. I'm really impressed with the wheels though. My first set of 3-piece wheels

if your fenders are rolled, i think even a 45 series tire would fit.


DO IT!
