Default Anyone put 18" SSR Comp-H Silvers on yet?

Tire Rack sells the SSR Comp-H Silver 18X9 for $509.00 each. Anybody tried these yet? I know TC is using the 17" version on his T2 racecar. Here is the link:

I just saw these the other day in one of Tireracks 2 page ads and they listed these one available in 19s! But they don't mention anything about the 19s on their webiste? I dropped them email asking about 19s for the Z but haven't received a reply yet!

I had the gunmetal's on my VR6 and loved them! They are a great wheel, not one problem! Super light!!




In the new Silver finish with polished lip I think these would look sick on a Z in 19s! Kind of reminds me of the TE37s alittle! If they are available in a 19 I would definitely give them a shot!

They are currently listed in 18x9 only. I am considering these with some S03's on them.

Raceboy,

Yes I know they have it in 17". TC is using this on his T2 car. Supposed to be very light weight. I am looking at 18 x 9 all around with 225/45yR18 Bridgestone S-03's on them. How will this affect the handling? Tire Rack lists this as the 18" package for the 350Z. At least you can rotate them.

Wouldn't the same size wheels & tires all around make the car more neutral? Plus you could rotate the tires. I guess I could bump to 245's on the rear.

Here are the SSR's on my MR2:



I want to get the 17" for race rubber. I wrote TC Kline and maybe they can provide me the the widths and offsets of the SSR's they are running.

Well, I just got this info from TC Kline racing. They use a 17x8 and a 17x8.5 set of wheels with spacers and a long stud kit. I am going with the SSR's in 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 with 31/35mm offsets.

Tirerack finally got back to me with some bad news. The 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 sizes that I was ordering were not going to fit the Track model without spacers and a long stud kit. Too much of a PITA at the track, so now I am back to square one on my race wheel search. I know the Enkeis are out there in 17" and will fit for sure, but the offsets are not ideal as is the equal size front and rear. I also have some questions about Enkei quality as I have seen them seperate at the track before. This is getting frustrating.
