Default Opinion? Do SSR GT1's show too much brake, especially if no brake work is planned?
Thinkin about getting 'em, but I won't be doing any brake work (at least for some time), so I'm wondering if it'll just look dumb or not..

Default Possibly I think 7 spoke wheels give a good balance of wheel and brakes.

looks dumb on an A4. Shouldn't be too bad on an S4, me thinks.

Default Any suggestions for 7 spoke given I like the SSR GT1 style?
What are those in the pic?

Perhaps Intro is making a 3pc 7 spoke. It really comes down to $$.

Default Ace Spade, but it's a 6-spoker. Not as light, and probably not as strong...

Hoping to not exceed $500 a wheel. Less if possible.

Default just a random site I found them on, here ....
$225 per wheel (18x7.5), they also come in 17".

I'm sure there are other places that sell them.<ul><li><a href="http://www.e-chromewheels.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?PREADD=ACTION&amp;key=ACE153">http://www.e-chromewheels.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?PREADD=ACTION&amp;key=ACE153</a</li></ul>
