SSR Type-C Forged 18x8.5 +44 5/100 - Sprint Black Wheel

This is the SSR Type-C forged wheel, measuring 18 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches wide, with a +44 offset and a 5x100 bolt pattern, finished in Sprint Black. SSR is well-known for its high-performance, lightweight wheels, and the Type-C is a popular choice for drivers looking to improve their vehicle's handling and aesthetics. Forged wheels like these offer a significant advantage over cast wheels due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio.

The forging process involves shaping aluminum under extreme pressure, creating a denser, stronger grain structure. This means the Type-C wheel is not only lighter, which helps reduce unsprung weight and improve acceleration, braking, and suspension response, but it's also more resistant to bending and cracking under stress. The 18x8.5 size with a +44 offset is a common fitment for many performance-oriented vehicles, and the 5x100 bolt pattern is specific to certain makes and models. The Sprint Black finish offers a sleek, understated look that complements a wide range of vehicle colors.

When installing these wheels, it's important to ensure they are compatible with your vehicle's specific hub bore and that they clear your brake calipers. While these wheels are sold individually, you'll typically need a full set of four. Always use the correct lug nuts for forged wheels to ensure a secure and proper fit. Consider also checking tire sizes that will best match the 8.5-inch width for optimal performance and ride quality.
