I just put SSR GT3 wheels 18X8(front) & 18X9(rear) on my
white C43 and they are awesome. Big fat lip and I've been
getting huge compliments. Look these up on Tirerack. These
wheels are featured all the time in European Car magazine too.
I chose the satin finish which basically is gunmetal in the middle
and a high polished chrome lip.

18" staggered ssr gt3 black satin on 99 c43 obsidian black.
Check out www.puremotorsports.com they sell cheapper than tirerack. (got mine from there )

I check those out not bad, you guys got any pics of them on your 202s...this is a pain trying to find the right wheels I have been playing w/ this for awhile now. Once I find something I like, I see something else I like & cant make up my mind becuase wheels can make or brake the look

Any more Ideas where I can look????

Thinking about buying a set of Kinesis k18r or k28r or a set of Maya STMs myself...

Love the Reverse Drop Center rims w/Anodized finish. Take a look @ the gallery of cars @ http://www.kinesismotorsport.com/appfin.htm
(favorites are the Maserati & Bimmers)

And the Mayas:

Oh, and if I may, I recommend you stay away from Brabus. I've now bent [seriously flattened] four fronts on the inside of the rim, each time with 32psi in the tires. Ridiculous if you ask me. At least the 5 AMG rims I bent only bent on the outer lip. I was amazed that they still stayed round, but they did. And each time the hit was a lot harder and the air pressure was a lot lower (yes, stupid me ) Not the Brabus rims though. They failed with far lower force ... too soft.

Nice wheel NJ. The only thing Idont like about thinner spokes is that without larger rotors and painted calipers, it just doesn't look as nice.

I wouldnt mind going with a thinner spoked wheel too.

With all that snow and salt, it would be best to wait till after winter. I'll keep an eye out for wheels that may interest you, but of course none of the ones I'm interested in!

sucks living here dealing w/ the snow... unlike some of the other west coast members who dont deal w/ it
