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

Forged wheels are made using a high-pressure forging process, which creates a denser, stronger, and significantly lighter wheel compared to cast wheels. This reduction in weight, known as unsprung mass, directly improves your vehicle's acceleration, braking, and handling responsiveness.

What does the +45 offset mean for my vehicle?

The offset refers to the position of the wheel's mounting surface relative to the centerline of the wheel. A +45 offset is a moderate positive offset that typically positions the wheel closer to the vehicle's suspension components, which can help with fitment on many performance vehicles without excessive rubbing.

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

This listing is for the wheel only. Lug nuts, valve stems, and center caps are typically sold separately and should be chosen to match the wheel's specifications and your vehicle's requirements.

Product Details

If you're looking to shave weight and improve the handling dynamics of your performance vehicle, a set of SSR Type-C forged wheels is a serious consideration. These 18x9.5 inch wheels are built with a 5x100 bolt pattern and a +45 offset, designed to fit a range of sport compacts and performance sedans. The Sprint Black finish offers a clean, understated look that lets the wheel's design speak for itself.

The real story behind the Type-C is its construction. SSR uses a proprietary forging process that creates a wheel that is incredibly strong yet remarkably light. This reduction in unsprung weight directly translates to better acceleration, more responsive braking, and a more agile feel when cornering. The 18x9.5 size offers a good balance between tire contact patch and maintaining a manageable overall diameter, while the +45 offset is a common fitment that works well on many vehicles without requiring extensive fender modifications. Each wheel is meticulously crafted to ensure structural integrity and a precise fit.

When installing these wheels, remember that proper tire selection is key to maximizing their performance benefits. You'll also want to ensure you have the correct lug nuts for a 5/100 bolt pattern. While these wheels are built for performance, they are also well-made to handle the rigors of daily driving, offering a solid option for those who demand more from their vehicle's stance and handling.
