SSR Type-C Forged 17x9.0 +38 5/100 - Racing Bronze Wheel

SSR is well-known for making strong, lightweight wheels that perform well on the track and look great on the street. This Type-C wheel is a prime example, built using a forged process that makes it incredibly strong yet surprisingly light. This 17x9.0 size with a +38 offset and a 5/100 bolt pattern is a popular choice for many performance-oriented vehicles, offering a good balance between tire contact patch and fender clearance. The Racing Bronze finish gives it a unique, sporty look that stands out.

The forged construction is the key here. Unlike cast wheels, forged wheels start as a solid piece of aluminum that's heated and then pressed under immense pressure. This process aligns the metal's grain structure, resulting in a wheel that's significantly stronger and more rigid than a cast wheel of the same weight. This improved strength means the wheel can handle the stresses of spirited driving and track use without flexing, and it also allows SSR to use less material, keeping the weight down. Less unsprung weight means your suspension can react more quickly to road imperfections, and your car can accelerate and brake more effectively. The 17-inch diameter and 9-inch width are ideal for fitting a wide range of performance tires, and the +38 offset helps position the wheel correctly within the fender for optimal handling and aesthetics.

This wheel is sold individually, so you'll need to order four if you're looking to outfit your entire vehicle. The Racing Bronze finish is applied with care, but as with any wheel, proper cleaning and maintenance will help keep it looking its best. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and care to ensure the longevity of the finish. This wheel is a solid option for anyone looking to improve their vehicle's performance and appearance with a well-built, lightweight forged wheel.
