I'd go with SSR due to the meisters being the norm for whats "sick"

Get 20 inch SP1s with some nasty fitment and call it a day

Yea ill get that one and get you envious man! Ill tag you on FB when I have pics of it on! Hahaha! Yea these seem to be the best choice but I wanna make sure about the barrels quality though! I wish I was able to get the Work 2pc in 20s when it was still in production!

Yea man! I like how it looks! Would like the face in black and I really want step lips! Hehe!






Anybody know or have hook ups with these wheels? Know any dealer that can give me a good price on any of these wheels! Talked to b2autodesign and Ravspec! So far SSRs in 20s would run me 3300 and Meisters around $3400 i think!

Another wheel I actually like is Junction Produce Scaras! Those are sick and rare too!

SSR Sp1 will be lighter than work s1, Cheaper and offer more brake clearance because of the way the spokes connect to the rim. They bolt up to where the rivets would be and the Meisters have a smaller face since the rivet pattern isn't interrupted. I'd go with SSR, and this is coming from a former Work S1 owner. Cleaning around the rivets on the works is a PITA too, the rivets on the ssr are flush with the rim and the rivets on the works stick out. prepare bust of qtips when cleaning the wheels.


There's a guy on my350z selling some SSRs and tires in SBC, no that is not me, lol

whoops, I forgot to mention lighter than the works. Gramlights I'm not sure of. I've had 19" works and they were heavier than the sp1s that i've held.

a 19x9.5 sp1 weigh in about about 24lbs and and a same sized work s1 is around 28lbs or so.

Nice! Thanks alot man! Helps alot to hear from someone whos owned both wheels! How was the quality of the ssrs though? Do u think it can take quite a beating? From experience most of my other wheels had bends or leaks as time passed! Only my volk gt7s and my oem 18s have withstood that beating driving thru la roads!

I didn't own the SSRs but one of my best friends did. HE had nothing but good things to say about them even driving on the horrible socal roads.

I vote SSR's but then again i'm biased If you're looking for performance and looks I'd say stick with 19's. I'm running 19's and Houston roads suck. You should look into the SP3's those are nice as well. Oh you asked me in PM what my specs are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 running 245/35 and 275/35.
