Thanks!

Is there a Brembo brake setup that will fit in these?

I'm guessing the 12.9in one will not, as at least one mag article noted that they require 17in wheels... does brembo make a smaller setup?

 

I'm interested. Would this be a one-time thing or would it be part of your regular stock? Also, what would TireRack recommend for a light tire to go with that? As long as we're going to spend big bucks for the extra few lbs. of weight loss, I wouldn't want to put the weight back on (and on the outside at that).

 

Alex-
Any update on when the Comp R will arrive? It's almost May and we have not heard anything. Also any chance of getting a picture of it like you "promised". (I know if it was easy to get you would have gotten it already) Just asking.

As for tires we can opt for whatever we want from the tires you carry for this size of rim. 16x 6.5 which would likely be 195/55-16. But when I check for tires at tirerack.com I see only:
Dunlop SP sports 3000/5000 runflats
Firstone Firehawk GTA 02
Goodyear Eagle NCT5

Any option to get Yokohama AVS ES100 in any size that will fit those 16x6.5 Comp R rims? That would be my first choice. Any other options?

 

205/50-16 is the preferred size of Yokohama AVS ES100's that i have heard previously recommended... they have them at TireRack.
I also heard that these are currently on backorder though.

 

Hey Alex,

Did you get any measurements on the sample 16x6.5 wheel you had ??

Specifically, what is the inner diameter?

And if you don't have this... can you check the inner diameter on the 16x7's that you stock? They ought to be pretty close. Thanks

 

If you want a great tire that is light go with the Toyo T1S Proxies....no clue why TireRack doesn't carry them though.

 

I dont readily have that data on the 16x7's available. If you email me a PDF of your brake kit I'd be happy to have it checked for you.

Here's the PDF of the new AP Racing 12in brake kit...

http://www.stillen.com/specs/30-7600Rinfo.pdf

It requires an inner diameter clearance of 346mm (13.622in). Please check this against the 16in SSR Comp (and if it doesn't fit, check the 17in please).
Thanks!

 

Thanks John. I will be back to you very soon!

Alex

 

Alex,

Any recent word from SSR regarding the Comp R wheel in 16" x 6.5"?

 

John - BMPDesign has a set of Tarox brakes that work on the front also there is a setup for the back as well but isn't a full disk/caliper etc due to size back there. You can find them on the BMPDesign/ProMini site. THESE FIT 16" WHEELS!!!!

 

Thanks Casey!

I had seen the Tarox brakes available on their site, but wasn't that impressed with the appearance... Or the price!! Too expensive.

After reviewing the currently avail 16in brake upgrades... I think I can probably get similar performance by just upgrading to better pads, Powerslot disks, steel Goodridge lines and a higher quality brake fluid.

I'm going to wait a few months though. I think Wilwood brakes may offer a kit in the near future.

 

still waiting to recieve our shipment.

Alex

 

There was a cost shift in the price of this wheel. We're expecting $299 each. I will have information comming soon on how to pre order this wheel. Comming soon!!!

Alex
