8.5 X 18. I love the way they look but am thinking of practicality. Any one have problems with SSR wheels in general? Thanx.

We have one piece SSR wheels. No problems.

Any time you have little fiddly parts, it does get more time consuming. Just get a good set of wheel detailing brushes, avoid acid based wheel cleaners, and wax the wheels.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/viewarticle.aspx?art=15">http://www.carcareonline.com/viewarticle.aspx?art=15</a</li></ul>

yes, absolutely but you slip the guy att the car wash 5 bucks and he'll make them look brand new.

I have two piece wheels and brake dust loves to get into the studs around the wheel.

Thanx to all. I don't like the chemicals car washes use. They tend to dull and spot wheels somewhat

so that's why I'm getting ready for a little additional work.

Unfortunately these are not available for my 4.2 in 8.5 X 18.
