i could get a good deal on some ssr rims. looking into some type c's but heard that they are pretty easy to bend. i know these arent like volks, weds, or bbs. but for the right price id get em. just need a little feedback if u guys could help me out.

thanks

 

Um SSR's are just as good as Volks, Advans or Weds and are used on many race cars in Japan and everywhere else across the world. I have a set of Type C's and Iv never had a problem with them bending vs other wheels...

 

cool, thanks for your input man..prolly will get a set of these

 

SSR Type-C's FTW I love those wheels

 

how bout some type- f's?

 

im going to buy some team orange racing ssr type c's pretty soon, i cant wait

 

sweet deals. are u tracking them? post pics when u do get em

 

I have two sets of 17" Type Cs and I have had no problems with bends with very stiff spring rates (14kg/mm and 24kg/mm) and 40 profile tyres but I have only done a small amount of driving on them so far. The previous owner of my suspension also had Type Cs and his set is still going strong.

 

damn, what kind of car are u driving with those spring rates?


but thanks for ur input!!

 

Its only on cars that are at the track all the time do they see problems. Its not common but there are reports of it. If you are buying new I wouldnt worry about it.

 

I personally believe that SSR's are better than volks, just that volks are over rated and over priced. But this is my personal opinion. I drifted almost every second night while I was in Japan on the togues and the wheels are still strait and looking brand new, 19's btw and they dont weight much at all. SSR SP1's 3 piece FTW.

 

We are talking about the semi solid forged wheels here.

 

well ya im getting em brand new. just trying to see some feedback on em cuz im getting both good and bad news on em.

 

A DC5. Thinking of going stiffer in the rear too :p.

 

you got pics of ur car?

 

Here are a couple :

 

f@ck dude..pretty bad ***

 

Thanks . SSRs are nice wheels, my 17x9.5s weigh less than my stock 16x6.5s.

 

damn, i wish ep fenders were wider like dc5's. i dont feel like pulling my fenders just yet to make those sizes fit.

 

Type Fs looks nice in black. Not to hijack thread but anyone have type Fs?

 

i don't have them but i am going to be going with the type f's on my integra

 

i havent heard of anyone

 

id like to track them but im going to deliver pizzas with them instead.

in case the pic doesnt work heres pics: http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=2292941

 

i had type C's on my civic 2 years ago. they came on my 2000 si that i bought. the first night I had them i broke one. idiot me didnt try to fix them and just sold em for dirt cheap with brand new tires.

 

Too bad those aren't SSR's. They're Speedy Star's according to the seller, which are made by a cheaper knock-off company SSH. They sell those wheels on ebay.
