Scored some CHEAP SSR's (FAKE SSRs)

I have some 215/45s to go on, but wondering if the 235s that are already on the rims will be ok to get me to the tyre shop?
As in no rub.

haha yeah, stumbled across them looking for oem Magna rims for the FTO.
Found the add for those with that price, thought yep, look ok.
Open the pics, and low and behold. SSRs :twisted:

Looking through certain websites, the wheel weight 7kgs a piece.

may have to wear two rear tyres and 2 factory front tyres just to get me to BJs :?
wont have enough room to fit 2 sets of wheels in the car.

I have 235s and they rub all the time. Go 215 and you'll be fine.

Hahaha

So picked up the wheels today, put em in the car, got home cleaned them.

noticed there is:
No SSR stamp around the ring.
No Speed star stamp on the inside of the rim.

Centre caps are missing replacement with generic type ones

The stamping for Japan is only present on 2 of the 4 rims.

:P
Oh well, least I didn't pay for SSRs, and he didn't advertise them as being SSRs either.
Assumed by the sticker and design they were real, but instead are copys with Integral A2 stickers on one of the spokes. :roll:
