ssr professors in black vs. BBS RGR in hyperblack????

[05USdmGTgUy]

Trying to make up my mind....this is for a pearl white sedan w/ black leather (gt ltd.)The price is so close its irrelevant, the only mechanical difference is the prof. would be 18x8 and the bbs 18x7.5 but im only gonna run a 225 anyway.
Thanx for opinions

The BBS' are obviously gonna look great, but I can't really picture the SSR's. I remember seein a black STi on NASIOC with them and it looked awesome, but I can't picture them on a white Leg.

real quick photoshop on my silver LGT. Not the best help, but it's all I got.

That's one slammed Legacy! Also, you need to realize for the Legacy, the lip will not be that big, unfortunately :(:(:(. Not sure how it would look though, but maybe all silver would be nice on your car, but whatever suits you of course.

BBS always look sweet, but if u get a chance have a look at the CH BBS, very nice and hopefully around the same price 4u.

Happy shopping

BBS. Those drip, ooze and sweat class.

i guess my thing is that anyone w/ 2000 bucks can order the bbs from tirerack. I don't think ill see the ssr's on another legacy in america ever.

THose SSRs will look really nice IMO. I'd want a set, they'd make great street wheels but $$$$, but I guess that's with any wheel.

get the ssr's if you want a more powerful look

get the bbs if you want a refined look with hard to clean rims. i had the rk's on my wrx.

Um, the first wheels are Work Meister S1 2 Piece, just to let you know. 8)

SSR's.....but I have a soft spot in my heart for those...:)

Because of the GT having problems with fitting a 8.5" rim (which i think all the WRX pics shown above run a 8" or wider SSR SP1 rim), I think you should look into the BBS sizing.. although, there are a lot of other rims you can get that are similar to that sizing and style without breaking the bank. Have you looked into some other rims?

[Ninjapimp]

Where can I find those SSR's online? They're awesome.

[chibisak]

Both are nice, for white car, personally Gold or hyperblack rim will look good

[SC GT]

I'm not crazy about the Professors for the LGT. Spokes are too thick. Looks better on a squattier car like the WRX. IMO, the BBS match the look of the LGT much better. Just my .02.

[chibisak]

SC GT, how about those 18" Gold BBS from WRX STi on the LGT

[IwannaSportSedan]

Or the Gold BBS RG-Rs... for that matter.

Doesn't the new WRX STi have a new bolt circle, different than the older subies, and the current legacy?

Maybe I am wrong.

I like either one, but am hoping that the SSR GT2s fit as well as the professors. (GT2 is a non-multi-peice version of the professor)

[chibisak]

IwannaSportSedan,

How about the one on WR-Legacy

[IwannaSportSedan]

I think the gold wheels on the WR-Limited are actually gold painted versions of the JDM Spec-B subaru rims.

They are nice looking, I just wish they were both 8 inches wide, and available in this country, in gold, silver, and chromed. (gold wheels aren't quite my bag, but others like them.)

[chibisak]

How about some LE37A or GTU from RAYS

Oh we can get this car to squat....and we will.... :twisted:

By bolt circle if you are meaning lug pattern...then yes the new WRX/STI is the same 5x100

[SC GT]

The STi BBS rims are only 17s. Someone early on put the silver STi rims on his LGT, and I thought they looked nice.

[omahasubaru]

Get the SSR GT2.

No rivets.. which I think is a cheap look.

Although I think only a couple of those stock the professors, thanks!!! 8)

I like the SSRs. I think they look aggressive, but without the cheesy "bling" look. The SSRs look Midas, man.

I've been trying to figure out the difference between black and hyper black, anyone explain? The best I can tell, the hyper black is like a dark chrome?

That's pretty much it, but hyperblack has a more polished look rather than a chrome mirror-finished look.
