SSR GP-è Decolte Evolution

[Lazarus]

They look good in photos, but I haven't seen one up close as yet. Would someone on Prime by any chance have these wheels on their car, preferably in a BBK set-up? Could you post a picture or two, if it's not too much trouble?

Thanks.

 

[Lazarus]

Sorry, the name should be GP-O (with a dash through the middle of the O). I guess Prime doesn't support that symbol.

Apologies.

David,

Those are really nice looking wheels. I was thinking about getting them before
I decided on the 5Zigens and then later on with the Work Equips. Doing a search
for "Decolte" comes up with some threads that are pretty old. As a result, a lot of
the pics with those wheels come up with Red Xs.

However, I do know that 5inchfatlip has those wheels in an 18/18 inch setup.
I've got a few pics with his car on my site.

Thanks, Randy.

They do look good. Unfortunately, the wheel shop just called and said they wouldn't fit over the Brembos (again!). *sigh*

The search goes on....

So, I guess that search into the Work Equips also came up negative, eh? Good luck in your search.

Affirmative. And thanks.

Geez, this is more difficult than I could ever have imagined.

Thanks Fury for the pics, havent seen those in a while...see you in a few sundays...

Lazarus- my set was specifically built to fit a brembo or BBK front AND back. I do not know the specs since it was the older owner, but yes they are 18's all around and the offset for the front are +44 if I remember correctly.
I know they were custom made to fit and I'm sure you may be able to find them still, just have to find the right distributor- someone on the east coast was able to get a set as well probably last year..

I thought those decolte wheels were discontinued. I remember emailing 5inchfatlip last year about them before I picked my current wheel. My local shops could only get the SSR's with the 5-star and the split spokes....like you seen on tire rack I think.

 

[Lazarus]

5inchfatlip> Thanks for the info. That is really a big help.

5inchfatlip & Bilulan> The Decolte Evolution is still being manufactured and available in Japan. You can find them here.

Cheers.

I know your pain.

 

[Lazarus]

I know your pain.

Donwon> So are you also still looking or have you found something you like?

 

[donwon]

I found something. Had to go with a Custom HRE. I could not find anything else that would fit. Pics

Very nice set-up. I notice your front wheels protrude beyond the fender line a little, just like they do on my car. Have you noticed any adverse effects on the car's handling as a result of this?

 

[Lazarus]

Funny thing is I spent almost the entire afternoon today at the tire/wheel shop going through catalog after catalog and STILL(!) am unable to find a set of wheels that: 1.) I like, and 2.) will fit over the Brembos.

What the hell does a guy have to do to get a new set of wheels??

*sigh*

 

[donwon]

I think thats the angle of the pic. The rims of the front (if looking from the top) is perfectly flush with the fender. The spokes; however, do stick out slightly beyond the fender where they are curved to clear the caliper. Not by much though. At this point, im glad I found something that fits. Other than a very slight rub on u-turns, I havent noticed any difference in handling at all.

I see, and thanks. You wouldn't happen to recall the offset on those wheels, would you? Oh, and the sizes also?

 

[donwon]

Tires sizes are 225/35/18 and 275/30/19. Ill dig up the offsetts for you.

Much obliged.

Just checked the HRE website....those 841Rs look pretty darned good. Shame they don't have 17's.

 

[Lazarus]

Ooops...forgot the picture.

 

[donwon]

Yes sweetness. Those have the curved spokes as well. Ben has (or had) those on his car

You're right, his car is very nice. I'm just a bit hesitant about going to an 18/19 set-up. I quite like the 17/18 I have now.

Can anyone recommend a 17/18 combination that has an offset for the front that will clear a BBK (Brembo) and with which I can have a deep rim for the rear? (Well, the deep rim for the rear is optional.)

I'm a little late here, but I have those wheels on my car polished.

If you want I can post pics later if you want to see a closer look.

I'd appreciate that. If you could also post the size and offsets, that'd be even better. Thanks.

(Better late than never. )
