Anyone know where to get the SSR GT1's in polished finish?

The first pic is the polished or bright silver:


And here is the Silver:



Here is SSR Integrals in Polished, may places say they don't exist either.

To be honest with you, I thought they only came in bright silver. That was the color of mine that came from Tirerack. I think they are polished no matter what.

I found out, the rims in both those pics are the same, just the lighting makes the finish look so different.

The SSR GT1 only comes in Bright Silver Finish for the S2000. There is no polished version available. There is also a white finish available in 16" and 17" 4 lug.

yeah, but their (SSR) version of bright silver is really a "polished" look.

it's unlike any silver i've ever seen...

SSR's typically are not available polished. The integral was availble polished from SSR in very limited quanities. There was a problem in the finnish on the wheels (painting process) so Speed Star polished them. Very rare situation.

SSR also strongly recomeds not polishing their wheels. ( I was told that due to the alloy they use that polishing can adversly affect there structual integrity, on a molecular level)

The bright silver you see is the most common finnish on the GT1. In a couple selected sizes they can come in white.
The silver paint is kinda neat, along the likes of silver flake modle paint, almost wet looking.

I hope this inforation might have shed a bit of light. Let me know if you need aditional info
