I wouldn't say they're HEAVY, but a bit more than I'd like to have stuck to the corners. Price is certainly right and they look pretty good too. May end up looking into those if CCW isn't interested in kidneys as payment.

Ccw wheels are priced reasonably. You may not have to give up a kidney. Maybe just a spleen. For example, a set of 18" CCW Classics, any width up to 16" costs $2300. In comparison, a set of 18x12 SSR MS1 will cost $3000.

Yeah, I've looked into it. I've budgeted $3500 for wheels and tires overall. Is that $3000 for a pair, or an entire set for the SSR? I've got my heart set on 17" though, I like traction more than bling, plus tires tend to be cheaper. I may regret that decision if they phase out 17's in 10 years, but who knows?rodel;1784139 said:

$3000 is for a set of MS1 wheels. If you go with 17" CCWs + tires, then you'll be in the $3500 area of your budget.
Already have loan will see what I can pull outta my hat was just looking at photos of it not sure if I could bring myself to paint it matte black the devil on one side says it would be dirty in a good way the other says dirty like a whore and I would regret it. still looking foward to seeing some people getting the kit fitted I know mobes is probly the closest but also seems to be a perfectionist (not a bad thing I envy his skill and patience) I know emission has to pull some thing pretty sick out of the bag
Only 8 days to go apparently for my kit to arrive I cant wait

Okay, so I've been following this thread VERY closely. If there is one thing, and one thing only you need to personally know about me, is that i love, absolutely love clean wide body kits.
I can't get over how mean this car looks with this kit on it, it's insane.
I do however have a question about it.
Anyone know the process for installation? I know absolutely nothing about body work. I really want to get this kit, but i don't want to have my car hacled to pieces to make it work, the front fenders are bolt on so that's good, no, great. But the rear is what I'm concerned with.
How exactly is is put on? Can this kit be riveted on? I don't want it just held on there with bondo or whatever and start seeing cracks.
I know this is a little vague, but basically I just want too know if it can be put on and still remain durable. It is my daily and not only a weekend car.
Thanks for whoever inputs
p.s. I really want this kit, just need to make sure it's worth it

Dan, I can only suggest two things if you're not a body guy and this is your daily:
-Make REALLY good friends with a GOOD body guy (check previous work, current work, etc, do your homework!)
-Buy another car to get you around while you're doing the body work. I fully expect to not drive my Mk3 for MONTHS when we finally get around to my project. It's a bit of a resto-mod though, so we're bound to run into issues or obstacles here and there. See the "Living with a Supra" thread link in my signature.

Oh man :'/
I had a feeling it wouldn't be a 1-2-3 job haha.
Well, thank you for letting me know, even though it was blah news, I'm glad you told me straight out and i didn't just end up buying to be disappointed.
Well, I suppose there's always the future to look forward too.
But hey, thank you for the quick and helpful response
Yea I've cut out the guards already and sealed them all up so no rusty
As it stands I have 90mm clearance before the tyre rubs but may lower the car a little bit more
