I have the Anthracite ones. They are very close to the Dark Silver color of my MINI, and the same as the old SSR Competition. In fact, these are replacements for my Comps, as they got destroyed in an accident, and this was the nearest replacement. I'd much rather have the Comps in Antracite with the machined lip as I had originally, but this is adequate I guess.

The picture makes them look a bit darker than they are. There are silver and anthracite versions, I believe.

I'm bitter, I can go out to our local autocrosses and just own the course like that. Whenever I go to a big event I choke

Here are three pics of the previous wheels, the new ones are identical looking aside from there being no machined lip. Color is the same.

^^ looking good!

for those that want a similar look but on a budget, make sure to
check out the RAZE (not Ray's) wheels. im thinking about getting
these on my Civic. (my 06' uses 5x114.3.... so can't just swap
out with my MCS)

i've got a set w/ ra-1's for the track. they look wicked on my royal grey. i'll post up some pics when i get them sorted out from last weekends track day. they are available only in anthracite and are quite a bit darker that the previous comps. i've seen the two side by side.

fyi. the lettering on the wheels are stickers that one may apply. i chose not to put them on. two of my center caps (both rears) came flying off on the track. needless to say, i don't really need them and they are long gone.

the lettering on the wheels are stickers but they stick permanently
unlike those cheeze ball wheels you get from discount stores.

ive had my Comps with those SSR decals on for the last 2.5 yrs with
no issues. my previous rex had those in the 17" size and it too had
no issues of the stickers peeling off.
