pldubs 308 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 are those wheels SSR's?? Im not entirely sure who made them, Theyre stamped with Japan and were originally made for 3rd Generation Transam GTAs, so could probably find out if I was bothered to do some digging. I had a rougher set for sale earlier this year but noone on here was interested so I sold them to a guy on facebook who then sold them to Victor ( e3ape ) who is putting them on his e3, which I am super excited to see. That is fkn rad man Cheers boss! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
