I have Eibach Sportlines but they made the wheels rub. And that was with -2 degrees of camber. Rubbing would have been worse with the camber within specs. So i said forget it and just put it "a little" lower and never worry about camber or rubbing problems again.

Problem solved

Hey the SSR's cost twice as much and they only saved me 2.5 lbs. So thank you, I like my knock offs.

And we return to a major point:

It's not just that next bit of weight (The Nakayamas are plenty weighty themselves, including SSR GT-Is in 17" size), but it's the manufacturing process.

The SSRs are forged, unlike most wheel copies. The manufacturing process is particularly important for strength when using big wheels and low profile tires.

Anyhow, they look nice.
