SSR competition fakes called Formula Type-C's
Has anyone seen or heard of these rims?
http://www.importhookup.com/wheeloptions/special.htm
I wanna get the ssr competition but i heard they bend and im not to careful with my rims so i thought about getting these.
They are $850 and $950 for 15" and 16" w/ tires respectively, supposedly they weigh 12lbs and 15lbs...Let me know if anyone has these or heard anything good or bad about them.
Thanks.

roaringturtle,
how you like the rims so far, are they pretty light as they say they are? And are they stronger than the real ones?
When i said they bend easily i was talking about this http://freepages.autos.rootsweb.com/...-comp-problems/
I also saw it posted on a couple other boards...

thanks
yea i didnt really meet that many people but maybe next time
dont want to spread innacurate rumors about the ssr comps bending
but i too have heard some horror stories as well
exact reason why i bought these knockoff rims to begin with
about the weight, they certainly are lighter then my 95 gsr's
not sure if they are the claimed 15lbs; they had the tires already mounted

Re: SSR competition fakes called Formula Type-C's (chronic)
Knock offs are the only way to go. Why pay for the real thing? Forged light weight rims are a waste of money. Only those idiots who actually race a car use them. Since my car just sees showoffs, why bother?
