Mix matching wheels.

What do you guys think about 19x8 Exel DL-46 (mach SSR GT-3's) up front and the real 19x10 SSR GT-3's in the rear? A way to save money and still get a staggered set up.

Re: Mix matching wheels.

not really a good idea.

I haven't seen how close they resemble each other, but the design might be a little off.

The color and finish might not match as well. The quality over all might differ a lot, material used too.

Even comparing the same exact rim, same brand and style, there's a noticable difference in them. Wheels are made in different batches and can have a shade difference and decals located in different area.

always buy rims as a complete set.

The amount you'll save isn't worth it.

Re: Mix matching wheels.

if you have the 2 wheels next to each other you will see BIG difference in quality and finish. Also you will prob start to notice all the lines, edges and curves on the wheels are completely different.

Re: Mix matching wheels.

Also consider that if the diameter of the wheels with tires varies too much between them, front to rear, it WILL affect the VDC.
