What is the primary benefit of a forged wheel like the SSR Type-C?

Forged wheels are made by compressing aluminum under extreme pressure, creating a denser and stronger material than cast wheels. This allows for a lighter weight while maintaining high structural integrity, which can improve vehicle performance.

How do I know if this wheel will fit my car?

This wheel has a 5/114.3 bolt pattern and a +44 offset. You should verify that these specifications match your vehicle's requirements and check for clearance with your brake calipers and fenders.

Does this wheel come with lug nuts or a valve stem?

This wheel is sold individually and typically does not include lug nuts or a valve stem. It is recommended to purchase compatible lug nuts and a valve stem separately to ensure proper installation.

Product Details

This is the SSR Type-C forged wheel, measuring 18 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches wide, with a +44 offset and a 5/114.3 bolt pattern. It comes in a Racing Bronze finish. Forged wheels like these are known for their strength and light weight, making them a popular choice for performance-oriented vehicles. The Type-C is a well-known design from SSR, offering a blend of aggressive styling and functional engineering.

The forging process creates a very dense and strong material structure, which allows SSR to achieve a lighter weight compared to cast wheels of the same size. This reduction in unsprung mass can lead to improved handling, better acceleration, and more responsive braking. The 18x8.5 size with a +44 offset is a common fitment for many performance sedans and coupes, but it's always best to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle's suspension and brake components. The Racing Bronze finish offers a unique look that stands out from typical silver or black wheels.

When installing new wheels, it's important to use the correct lug nuts and ensure they are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. While this wheel is designed for a direct fit on many applications, always double-check clearance with your brake calipers and fenders before final installation. This wheel is sold individually, so you'll need to order four for a complete set.
