My vote goes for SSR..... and you also need to prep the calipers with some colour that's not too flashy (silver? white? ) and it would look beautiful.

PS. Let's see some pics of your white rex

They both look really nice, but I like the Volks better. Something just yells "bad ***" when I see it.

With the Black car, I say the volks. The chrome ring provides that nice accent to bring your attention while the dark spokes give that great race look with the black car.

Yeah I figured. I'm sticking with the Volks.

I guess the SSR's are up for sale. Thanks a lot guys for the feedback.

I love the "Euro" style and appearance that the SSR's give the car. But the Volks just look so incredible. I wouldn't have thought that the gunmetal would look good with the black but that machined lip really sets it off.

Thanks, Rishie

Volks are LE37T. Using a 18x7.5 +48 offset. I used a 215/40/17 this time to allow a little more cushion but I rub ever so slightly on one side. Highly due to the HUGE RIM PROTECTOR on the Dunlop FM901. I know with P7000SS I wouldn't have any problems.

See ya later guys. IF you guys want any volks in this fitment let me know and I'll get them ordered into the country. Took two months to get these.
