Mansonozz was right once more.

At first glance.. Yes they could be mistaken for the 2000 Corba R I guess.

SSR's are not even in the same category as Cobra R's.

Much lighter and much more expensive too.

I was thinking about getting some SSR GT3's for mine.

Like these.




Pauls car is Definitley tops in my book!!!!!

Dang guys, i just said they resemble them


C'mon, from 30 yards you wouldn't know the difference would you? They do look a lot nicer up close but the basic design is very similar untill you get around the lug nuts.

SSR Integrals, Konig Villains, and the Steeda Ultra-lite are all very similar.

6yrs ago when I was wanted wheels I looked into the Konig Villains first.
But at that time there seemed to be some sort of problem and the dealers I talked to said they would never carry the Villains again. I don’t know what the problem was, but it was enough to scare me away from the Konig Villains.
So I went with the SSR’s.
Steeda about six months after I bought my SSR’s come out with there Ultra-lite.

do you do your own alignments?

if so i would be curious to know what the spacing of your hub adaptor holes are. i have ultra lites and our hub adaptors did not fit them.

I've don't do my own alignments. I get it close and then take it to a shop.
I've watched them do 3 alignments in 6 yrs and they never had a problem that I've ever seen.

Thanks for all the complements guys, believe me I do appreciate everyone of them.



Aaron'S'tang & bubba-dough you're right and just as Mansonozz said, that pic was taken a couple of days after the whole car was painted and I hadn’t put the motor in yet.

But it changed a little after that pic was taken.
