Bought these rims for my LS two weeks before I learned about an 'SS"; two weeks later, I bought my SS. They just happened to be the same size as the 'SS' wheels. So, now I play 'hot-wheels' every 4000k miles. I switch them up.

Bought them from 'Kobe'. I am not sure if they were a stile that was on its way out, but I got them for about $100.00/pc. It really was a steel. Now, I have to tell you, even though; they may have a nice touch, I still would want a little more chrome lip on them. Don't get me wrong, they look good, just a little more lip would have been nice. "Remember, I bought these for the LS, not the SS; didn't own this one yet when I bought these. Wasn't thinking performance when I orderd these." Not to mention, they are abuot 7lbs lighter (each) than the stock wheels.

I would think the torque steer would be rough with that much torque. I notice very little when in performace mode. I also don't have that much HP yet either though. I should be getting my Stage 1 This spring.

the torque steer is pretty bad with the open diff in it...was not near as bad with the LSD, the rear sway bar I made helped a bit and stiffer springs in the rear make a night and day difference....the later I only use in the summer...the ride sucks and I travel alot in the winter.

I mounted snow tires on my stock 18's and picked up these 18's to mount the summer tires on.

My SS is Red and I am going for a similar look that I had on my Evo:
