WHEEL SPOTLIGHT: |
|
t's a roadster and a pickup truck all in one. Combining the open-air excitement of a roadster with the utility of a pickup, the SSR (Super Sport Roadster) features a two-piece retractable hardtop that stows vertically between the seats and the rear storage bed, thus allowing open air motoring while minimizing the room typically lost when a top is lowered. Exterior styling features a front end that echoes the facade of a 1947 Chevy pickup along with pontoon-style fenders that do the same. Five-spoke alloy sport wheels measure 19 inches in front, 20 inches in the rear and wear 255/45 and 295/40 Goodyears, respectively. The lockable pickup box specs out at 3.9 feet wide and 4.2 feet wide, not exactly something that will rival a Silverado, but still loads more capacity (23.7 cubic feet under the hard tonneau cover) than you'll find in a typical drop-top two-seater. Inside is a symmetrical dash and body color trim that also recall the "good old days" along with modern touches such as a trip computer and steering wheel-mounted controls for the sound system. Under the old school hood is a 300-horsepower V8 driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic. Built on a 116-inch wheelbase and weighing a chunky 4,760 pounds, the SSR has rear-wheel drive (a four-wheel-drive version is not available). Based loosely on the TrailBlazer platform, the SSR features a hydro-formed frame (meaning the rails are one piece -- no joints or welds), rack-and-pinion steering and vented disc brakes all 'round. While we think a near 5,000-pound two-seater is a bit excessive, we appreciate the unique design of the SSR and its open-air appeal. And even though it's priced within a couple of grand of a base Corvette, the SSR's relative rarity and fun personality should ensure success in the showroom. In fact, the first 25 that go on sale will be special editions (featuring Ultra Violet paint, a color-keyed engine cover and, of course, the obligatory emblems) that commemorate the SSR being chosen as the pace car (or is it truck?) for the Indy 500.
We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the
nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a
skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell
our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest
assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever
leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock
specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels
to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets
smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance
the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art
hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights,
and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for
shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors,
they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat
business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel
clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able
to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around.
We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers.
Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
