    Cool Matte black SSR GT2, 18x8.5, +48, 5x114.3 - $550

    Up for sale is a set of SSR GT2 I had powdercoated matte black about 5 months ago. The wheels are 18x8.5, +48mm offset, 114.3x5. They are very light, weighing only 17lbs a piece.

    Unfortunately, two of the wheels are not true, though there are no visible bends whatsoever. My tire installer was able to get the wheels to balance, but I would feel a slight vibration at 60-62 mph. Also, one of the wheels has damage to the lip from accidently backing into a curb drain.

    The wheels were fantastic looking on my GR, but I grew tired of the black wheels. My powdercoater did a fantastic job on these wheels and there is not a single rock chip in the coating. I got tons of compliments on them, mostly from owners of higher end vehicles.

    Asking $550 plus shipping.

    A note about the images below. If you look closely, 5x100 is stamped on the wheel. Why? I have no idea since these are indeed 5x114.3. Also, I just finished washing the wheels, so there are a couple of water droplets on the wheels.

    NICE WHEEL. IM HESITATING ON THAT LITTLE VIBRATION. HOW BAD IS IT FROM 1-10? BECAUSE I BOUGHT A SET WHEEL FROM IA AND THE VIBRATION WAS NOT BAREABLE CAUSE I DROVE ALOT HWY FROM 75-90MPH.

    I could only feel the vibration at 60mph and it wasn't bad. I drove with the wheels on for about 5k miles and didn't have any issue with the vibration. One thing I did not try, though, was installing a set of hubcentric rings, which could further help any sort of vibration.

    For some odd reasons, for most SSR wheels Ive seen, most seem to have the wrong lug pattern stamped...
