i met a guy today who wants to trade me his SSR GT3s for my OEM Competition Rims straight up.
would this be a good trade? if so, for whom? both sets are in similar condition and tires as well. he has proxes in the rear and some potenza pole positions up front.
i have Pilot sports all the way around.

sounds good - as long as they are in similar condition. u will like the ssr's alot. so will your car. nothing like reducing the unsprung weight.

so far... 3 votes for the SSRs.. 0 for the ZCPs.
btw the SSRs are gunmetal. and a little bigger than mine. i think hes running 235f/275r
vs my stock 225/255
will i need spacers or should i be able to clear w/o any problems.

bump. need as many votes as possible, since im seriously considering this.
Try and get the wheels only. Mismatched tires aren't worth it. But the wider, lighter, better looking wheels are.

yeah M, that is what im thinking
if i decide to supercharge my car, i will need to get new bigger rims anyways, wider ones that can accomadte larger tires because i will need the traction.
and in addiiont to that, ive always kind of liked the SSRGT3s and the gunmetal fits well with a blue car..
however, ive always ued michelin pilot sports and will continue to do so until they make a better tire IMO. furthermore, i know this post is starting to turn into an essay but bear with me:
my michelin pilot sport A/S rear tires are brand new. well not really, but close, they have less than 1000 miles on them. and i paid about 400 a piece for those.... so im sure if i switched rims, i could at least get about 200-250 per tire. the front ones i was meaning to replace anyways, because they are OEM factory pilot sports. they have maybe 2000 miles left.
now i dont know the condition of the tires he has on his car but i am really considering the trade if he will go rim for rim.. and wejust keep our own tires....

i like the rims n all but i think my tires are worth a lot more and im gonna keep driving w/ Michelin Pilot spots till i find something better.
ill probably keep my rims+tires till i supercharge the car.
Do you want to put this in the E30, E36, E90 and any other forums - in addition the 73 other forums you've cross posted this in :stickoutt
