Does anyone here have these or seen them in person? They look flat black in the picture, but are they?

These maybe my new wheels once a put enough $ aside.

 

ask alex if he can send you a couple of snap shots.

 

Awesome wheels!!!

Sorry can't help there, but I had to say it lol

 

"They look flat black"
Yup, I noticed that a couple days ago. I think SSR's anthracite is usually pretty light, even compared to other companies' anthracites, so either the description is wrong or they posted the wrong picture.

Hey Alex - little help here?

 

It's also odd that they say "Type-C" on them. Used to be they called these wheels Competitions in the U.S. and Type-C everywhere else.....I think.

 

it is a flat black, i've seen them in person on a friend's 350Z...

 

SSR went bankrupt and the company that took them over transfered production to another facility, I think, and all the new "SSR" wheels of this type will be called "Type C" and not, Type C there and "Competition" over here. More sizes will return to production but I was told TR doesn't know exactly which sizes will be coming back and which won't.

 

weren't the "Competitions" a specific custom design for TR? (ie: polished lip,
hubcentric). but mine has metal rings....

everywhere else it's TypeC.

 

These are what I have on the race car. I actually have a couple sets. They look almost dark silver in person, with a polished lip.

 

Macheined lips were a North American exclusive

Alex

 

When SSR makes limited edition wheels for NAM, you knom NAM is a big player!! lol

 

he said North American, not North American Motoring

as mentioned above the SSR Competition was exclusive to TR and differed from the Type-C by having a machine lip and using a (ugly) center cap. Looks like these new Type-C's also take center cap too

 

^^ oh you gotta run these SSR's without caps!!

 

Actually, they did a special Comp back when NAM was MCO. <click it> I haven't heard anything about them for quite a while so I guess they didn't last?

 

Alex, do you happen to have any pictures of this wheel in different lighting.

Thx

 

Just these photos

Alex

 

 

BUMP.

Still no one with photos of these new Type C's on their Mini?

 

here is a set of SSR type C-RS on my royal grey....


my car looks totally different w/ these wheels vs. my HRE street wheels. i like the more aggresive appearance for my track wheels.

 

funny you should mention this......two of my center caps fell of on my first track session. i took the other two off and haven't looked back.

 

I have the old competitions in Anthr. with polished lip. they are 17x7.5 and weigh 11lbs each!! the new ones at tirerack weigh 14lbs. each too bad they got heavier..

 

not to question your integrity, but.....have you weighed them? on another thread i have posted about some 16" SSR comps for sale that weigh about 11 lbs. i know that the newer type C's are slightly heavier than the earlier comps, but i don't believe that the difference was three pounds. just checking...

 

OOooo thanks for posting! I think it's absolutely lame that a company designs something with caps that can fall off.
What does the wheel look like without the center caps? I keep hearing about everyone removing theirs?

Since you have the Type-C RS that means they are 17" right? Are you running 215/40 or 215/45's in your pic?


Looks great

 

here is a shot after the caps fell off! i was running 204/40/17 toyo ra-1's at the time, but i have switched to 224/40/17 hoosier R6's.

 

Here are my Type C-RS 17x7.5s and 215/45-17 GS-D3s. The Dragon ate my two front caps.
