All Red SS's with black or black and chrome rims please chime in.

Enkei Performance Lusso Black w/Mach Lip

Ok so I'm looking at rims for my Red SS, but I'm in debate. I love some of the silver rims with less spokes, but they are discontinued. Can't think of the same. I know EVERYONE or at least a lot of ppl have the other Enkei's or MSR 045's. But I want something with a slight dish like the Lusso's and trying to stack black and chrome. It looks so sexy on red like my old GSX used to be.

Well, it won't look like that because of the offset. They are decent looking though.

Yeah I figured they may be close to sticking out like the 045's look but I'm just really after the deep dish type look. Since I'm cheating and painting the stock rims for now, and ordering my new ones come winter. BFG KDW's ftw!

Was hoping to see some pics of people with red cars and black/black n chrome rims though.

A local guy has them. They have almost no lip and the offset sucks. They sit back in the wheel wells about 1". At least MSR's have an offset that sits flush.

They're not bad, but the fitment is poor.

They look great on a red car, but i agree they sit to far in the WW.... but the offset is 42 and the MSR's are i think 40mm correct me here?

I want the Rial Nogaro's but you can't find them! I had a crisis when I saw them on a blue SS. But I'll probably order Silver PF01's. Should look good with my rotors and red paint.

Lack of choices are leading me to the PF01s too.

Look into drag dr34s as well. Might suit the look you want.

I really like the Nogaros in black, but I read they do not clear the brembos. Grr. I would take them in silver too. There is not sh*t for wheels that clear the brembos.

I was talking about Wambs car lol. I really love those rims. I might order EKM3's in a satin silver, or something of the sort not really sure yet.

Hey Doc, why are the PF01s so expensive? There is such a limited selection for our SS/TC. I really want to order a new set of wheels and tires, but pickings are sparse.

The PF01 is one of a handful of wheels still manufactured in the "home office" in Japan (due to the special MAT manufacturing process we've been told", so that drives up the prices compared to a standard cast wheel made in China or elsewhere
