I need to know how much the SSR GT1 or GT3 rims weight.
Does anybody have a picture of a celica that has the ssr rims?
I remember a silver celica had one.

I was going to get these rims awhile ago. then I decided to stick with buying straight up performance parts.

The SSR GT1's are light, they are made with some sort of semi-forging process. I was looking for the 18's in white, however, tirerack only carry's the white's in 16. Anyways here's a pic.
These wheels in 18 form are as light or lighter than stock rims.

I ordered my Kosei K-1's and they tip the scale at 16 lbs. They are 17 x 7.5 and only cost $189. Not bad for a JDM Tuner wheel.

Tirerack!!!!! You can see them on your car in the interactive. Or go to yahoo and type in Kosei Racing K-1. I went with the white ones. I have spent over a week and 50+ hours deciding on wheels. For the money you can't beat the quality. Kosei also makes wheels for formula 1. I will not get them until next Monday or Tuesday. Remember, unsprung and rotation weight. I'm more go then show.

Plus bend over and take it in the bungho with the price and if you decide to drive your car then better have an extra set to replace bent, broken or cracked ones. Super lightweight wheels are good for racing. Some wheel manufacturers say for race use only. For the Celica, losing a few lbs while also going up a rim size or two is all I want. I want light but not so light that I have to drive slow and drive like I'm on a slalom trying to doge potholes and railroad tracks. My friend had CP-035 on his Integra. Within a year he had one cracked rim and the others had several bends. He liked the improved performance with them but it was not worth the cost of replacing them.
