Not the Puma's cuz they're kinda old. :p (They do give a good reference though, I wear a size 14, so put that against a 19...)
The Fedex people are tards and only delivered 3 of my wheels today. Hence, I didn't get a chance to put them on yet. Hopefully I'll get it early tomorrow, but if not, I'll have to wait till Sat. to put them on...
I have to thank Neal, Frank, and Ricky for putting up with all my questions about wheels and pricing. Even though I didn't get the wheels from them, they were such a great help. Thanks guys!
I was originally gonna go with 18's b/c I was worried about the wheel weight and ride (etc.) and most importantly b/c of the price. I saw 18's on some 05's at the meet and just wasn't feeling it. So, I'm glad I didn't go with 18 replicas. I got a great deal on these and they're authentic SSR's with Toyo T1S.
Hopefully they'll be on soon!

haha, thanks guys!
arg! my other wheel ended up in anaheim so it looks like it'll come here on FRIDAY! *******s! I've been calling Fedex to try to have them expedite it, but this isn't the first time something like this has happened and those idiots take forever to correct their mistakes...
but, I will for sure take pics when they're mounted!

as for the centre caps, no they don't fit... I can probably try to make one myself, but why go through the hassle, the SSR centre's aren't so bad.

Nice set of wheels and lightweight. I was checking wheelweights.net and the 19" SSR GT3 are supposedly about 25.5 lbs each. I'm interested in how they look with the Toyo T1S. Let us know how the car rides with the Toyo tires. The Nitto NT555 tires on my GT3's rub especially in the front, but they also have a thicker sidewall and larger contact patch. I'm probably going to switch to a different set of tires in the near future. I didn't really mind having SSR centercaps. I think it would look weird to have MB centercaps on them. How much were the wheels?

I'll let you guys know how they ride with the Toyo's...
And yeah, I too think it would look kinda weird with MB centercaps on these...
Frank, yeah, I heard about the "softness" issues. It's all over e46fanatics. It's got me worried, but I've heard and read a lot to the contrary. Hopefully they'll be good.
