New wheels from SSR

[SWortham]

For those who don't know, SSR is known for their semi-solid forged wheels. They're typically lightweight & strong and yet slightly cheaper than most other forged wheels.

It looks like SSR is now owned by Tanabe and here's what they offer...

The wheels that caught my eye were the SSR Type C which are available in 16 x 7", 4x114.3, +42mm offset weighing in at 11.8 pounds. It seems like there have been a shortage of lightweight 16" wheels, but these are impressively light. These look the same as the SSR Competitions from what I can tell, but there are more sizes.

You may be able to get these through Tirerack.com. I know they are not in the application guide, but they sell other SSR wheels and you might want to call if you're interested.

8.3 lbs!! for 15" 4x100 wheels. They'll go on the wife's civic if the price is right.

Ya too bad most of their rims are only 4x100, a lot of them are nice and lightweigh.

Nice find, SWortham...

I was going to go with the Kosei TS-1 rim, they are only 12.8lbs. (I'm not going Rota anymore). But, this wheel is a great option as well, and at another 4lb. savings.

I couldn't read the right up about them because I don't have any language packs installed on my computer, but I really like how they look. If I can find them for sale somewhere, TireRack.com being my first choice, I'll probably get a set in White.

Thanks for finding these!
