yes, ssr has been back. Tirerack sometimes has them in stock, gruppe-s can always order from japan.

The GT3s are absolutely awsome looking rims! I was able to get my paws on a set just before they dissapered. The biggest downside to them is that they are HEAVY! the rears weigh in at a heafty 27 pounds each. Cleaning them can take hours as well. If you get a set, get yourself a soft paintbrush and a soft sponge brush. This will help get dirt out of the small tight spaces.
It's great to hear that SSR is back in the game. I really like their style and design.

We are still getting the wheels but the GT3 has been tough to get here. I am not sure what the problem is. I sure wish they were available as they do look very nice on the car.

I see the GT3 advertised in Road and Track all the time. Lovely rims.

well then...more specifically, what is the deal with the Comps, or type-C?

How hard would it be to track down replacement rims?
