Default What are your thoughts on these rims?

Has any one ever heard of these rims before. They are made by SSR and they are called "Bang Vec II", these are 15" 3pc wheels. Someone is selling it and I was wondering what are your thoughts on these wheels which I was thinking of purchasing it from this person. Honestly, I have never heard of these wheels before that was made by SSR, they seem old school to me? I was planning on buying for my red EG Civic. Well, here are the pics below:

They look like chrome spoons. Paint them JDM black, and they'll look tite.

SSR Bang Vec 2's are dope..

My buddy had them in 16's on his 90 LS back in 91

The difference between the Bang Vec 1 and the Bang Vec 2 is the face of the wheel.. The Bang Vec 1 has less rivets.

I'll post some pics for you later tonight..

i had two sets already.....they are the ****....its pretty hard to find a set this clean......i had my first set in 1992.....they were made in the late 80"s.....i wouldn't mind having a set again......make sure the rims come with at lease 2 keys and all center caps.......the caps look better on and what ever you do,don't devalue the rims by powder coating them "jdm black"....they are jdm old oldskool rims...its going to look clean on your civic,but you got to dump the **** out of it.....how much is the guy or gal selling them for???????????? peace

they look like ferrari testarossa rims
Magnum P.I. style. At least they're original, won't see those on every other car, that's a good thing

Can't see the pics, but i agree with specs, VERY oldschool, very rare, look really nice on EF's and DA's, yes you do need to slam your ride, yes they are heavy, yes they are OG JDM wheels, and hard to find complete. Pick em up and at least hold on to them if you dont run em right away

those were produced back in 89, but who knows when production stoped tho. those rims aren't the greatest but the do get originality and rarity points.

Those are pretty sweet. How much do they weigh, though?
