I'm actually selling an OE set of 20" from a 2SS/RS. These are the polished variant.. Wheel only (no tires, tpms, etc).

Currently, they're up at Deerfield tire in storage, so I can't get you any pictures.. But, they have some lip rashes on them (not too bad) and one of the fronts has a repainted lobe with some light bubbles in it (due to road course extreme heat).. If you're going to mount snow tires and use them during the winter, this is the quality wheel you want.

No need to get a new pristine wheel only to get salted and potentially damaged.

Winter Tire set up

X3Speed,

You would be better of getting the 19inch rims for winter tires. First of all you would have a slightly larger side wall, which means less chance to scratch them up, secondly you will have a larger selection of winter tires to chose from (also, lower prices).

As to the Brembo brakes, the 19inch wheels fit perfectly over them, even without removing the rollers on the front brake pads.

I have this setup on mine and couldn't be happier

You have the OE 19" wheels on your SS/Brembo car, without spacers?

[sswiss3000]

Toasty,

No, I had to mount 1/4" spacers, which I purchased from e-bay for 38bucks (for all 4).

As an FYI.We do not reccomend useing spacers since they don't allow the wheel to fit properly and completely over the cars hub. In addition you are useing less threads of your lug studs. It's always best to use the proper offset wheel.

G-Man,

I would totaly agree with you if someone was using spacers on his car and attempted to race it for example. On the other hand, we were discussing using them on winter tires, which means less strain and only a minimal spacer. I have spoken with several guys running this setup with no issues.

racing or normal driving, the issue is the extra strain you're putting on the lug nuts. It's not a guarantee that they'll fail, but I wouldn't test it, but that's just me.

have you worked with Hub centric spacers?

[Toasty]

have you worked with Hub centric spacers?

I know exactly what they are, and what they do. Though are you talking about ones with extended studs?


Gaah, sorry, OP... back on topic!


anybody have any snow tires to help him out?

[G-Man]

I have been selling tires and wheels for 30 years. For many many reasons I have seen before, stay away from spacers whether your racing or not. You are improperly attempting to make the wrong size wheel fit your car.
Handling, performance and safety are all put in jeopardy by doing this. Just because someone else you know has done it and has not had some failure yet does not justify doing it. I have seen many many bad things happen from damaged lugs and studs to tires falling off of cars.
I have new snow tires in stock and ready to go and at the best price possible for anyone interested. Just pm me if interested
