SSR Star Wheels installed Finally went for it and bought a set of SSR star wheels for a cheap DD drag setup. Rears are 15x8 5.5 bs with 275/60/15 nitto nt555r, the fronts are 17x4.5 with a 26x7.5x17 hoosier prostreet radial. I'm very pleased with the fit and finish of these for how cheap they were. They are slightly on the heavy side but I think they'll hold up well on the street, I also won't feel bad about potentially messing up a skinny while dailying as they're only a little over 100 a piece.

I've been interested in these for some time now. Do they require any caliper grinding for the rear fitment? They look great and the price point is insane. Was set on the JMS wheels until I saw these. Again, they look great!

The rear calipers do require some grinding, mine were mostly just to help clear the wheel weights front and back. I just took down the cooling fins on the back of the calipers and I reshaped the front curved face of the caliper and bracket. It took me maybe 5 minutes per side with a dewalt angle grinder and a new grinding wheel. The front didn't require anything at all for fit.

I didn't weigh them when I got them but I'd say the rears are about the same weight as a stock 16" (19/22 lbs), possibly less, and the fronts are probably a bit lighter.
