What is the main advantage of a forged wheel like the SSR Type-C?

Forged wheels are made by compressing aluminum alloy under extreme pressure. This process creates a denser, stronger, and lighter wheel compared to cast wheels, which can improve handling, acceleration, and braking by reducing unsprung weight.

What does the +44 offset mean for my vehicle?

The offset determines how the wheel sits in relation to the hub. A +44 offset is a specific measurement that affects the wheel's position within the fender well and its clearance with suspension components and brake calipers.

Does this wheel come with lug nuts or a center cap?

This wheel is sold individually and typically does not include lug nuts or a center cap unless specified by the manufacturer. It is recommended to use appropriate lug nuts that match the 5/112 bolt pattern and the wheel's seat type.

Product Details

SSR is well-known for their high-performance, lightweight forged wheels, and the Type-C is a prime example of their dedication to motorsport-inspired engineering. This particular wheel is an 18x8.5 inch unit with a +44 offset and a 5/112 bolt pattern, finished in a sharp Sprint Black. It’s built for drivers who demand a strong, yet light, wheel that can handle spirited driving and track use.

The Type-C is constructed using SSR's advanced forging process, which creates a denser, stronger aluminum alloy structure compared to cast wheels. This results in a wheel that is not only incredibly strong to resist bending or cracking under stress but also remarkably lightweight. Reducing unsprung weight is a key factor in improving a vehicle's handling, acceleration, and braking performance, and this wheel is designed to make a notable difference. The 18x8.5 size with a +44 offset is a popular choice for many performance vehicles, offering a good balance between aggressive stance and functional clearance. The Sprint Black finish provides a clean, understated look that complements a wide range of vehicle colors.

When installing these wheels, it's important to use the correct lug nuts and ensure proper torque specifications are followed, as outlined by SSR. While this wheel is sold individually, consider purchasing a full set to ensure consistent performance and appearance across your vehicle. Always check compatibility with your specific vehicle's brake caliper clearance and suspension components before purchase.
