SSR Rims

[mrmister]

I've been looking around for rims for my MS6 and came along the SSR Competitions. I love the look of them, but was wondering what the difference was between the Comp-H and the Competitions were. I can't seem to find to much information on the brand, besides what is on Tire Rack.

Also, is it possible to get either of them in a 18 x 7.5 with a 45 mm offset? Or is their another offset that is close, that would look good?

Thanks for your help.

I was looking and the SSR Competitions that are anthracite with the machined lip. I couldn't find any sizing info for the competitions, but according to wheelspecs.com the competition is the U.S. version of the type-c. For the type-c they have 18X7.5 5X114.3 +48mm listed which I think would fit.

Don't know how old this is. I was looking at some of these before and info is hard to find on them:

I talked to someone at tirerack and was told that the competitions are no longer in production and that they showed no more in there inventory. I'm going to give gruppe-s.com a call on monday and see if they have those or the type-c. Anyone else know of any other SSR vendors?

I'm not having too much luck with rims lately. If these rims were discontinued, does anyone know of any other rims that look similar to them?

Thanks for your help again.

The Volk TE37 look similar but are a bit heavier at 17lbs. I may end up getting these if I can't find the competitions or the type-c.

Alright, I looked around a bit more and it definitely seems like the Competitions are discontinued. I found the 5Zigen GN+ Pro Racer though that I really like. It comes in a 18 x 7.5, which I was planning on getting, but only comes in a 48 mm and a 43 mm offset. Will I be able to pull off the 43 mm without any rubbing, as well as it looking good.

Thanks.

Anyone?

You will be fine with that offset. You can get away with a 40 offset also.

but you'll prob have to use a 215 tire right?

Right. Stick to the stock tire size. It will fit fine.
