Unique isn't necessarily my concern (but honestly I don't see too many gold on silver anyways). I'd just want them as light as possible.

Then again, I'd probably end up with some RPF1s before I could afford the SSRs anyway.

honestly IMHO gold is hella played out don't get me wrong i do like gold but its just that soo many people has gold it just really doesn't make it unique.
It's played out because it's easy to pull off. Blue on the other hand, isn't. There are only a select few colors that can pull off blue wheels, and even then, it's hard to keep the theme going. They're nice wheels, but I'll take the anthracite ones over the blue anyday.

Same weight? I think not. The SSR are .5 lbs lighter.

And they look better too.

And they're only 3x the price if you buy retail. Tire Rack has 2 18x8 left for only $329 a pop. I was seriously considering running 17x8 245/40R17 up front and 18x8 245/35R18 in the back, just because I could get all 4 wheels for under 1200 lol.

I'd go 17x7.5 (keeps me in the same class)... but ya, the SSRs do still have the Enkeis by .3 lbs there.

keep in mind that SSRs are semi solid forged where as the RPF1s are cast wheels. Forged wheels are lot stronger and durable than cast wheels thats where the price difference shows.

They changed the stats on those new OZ Racing Alleggerita HLT's. They used to be 17x8 +30 at 14.5lbs, now they're 17x8 +35 at 15.5lbs. Nevertheless, they're some great, light wheels.

The mag blue looks great on the Type-F! But I think it's looks a lot better on a white car (compared to the silver 350Z.)

The site, as in, just CSTC? Cuz IMO, 98% of the Scion community is cheap.
unless they were sponsored by mom and pop then they gotz money to spend
I work 60 hours a week to earn what's on my car.

If you want light wheels, talk to Rado. I was at the shop yesterday & the wheels they ordered are 8 lbs a piece.

You won't get a hold of him for awhile. He just left for his races in IL & then he's going on a bunch of trips. I don't think he'll be back for like, a month.
