Help identifying wheels

Any ideas what wheels these are?

Was thinking maybe SSR Reinder type 6's. I hope that is not the case, though, as those are only available in 18"+

they do look like SSR's, those came out in 2001-ish, and they made them in all kinds of sizes. i forget what they called them, its was something different than a reindeer type 6

SSR Type C. Old school, as mentioned.

Calling these old school really makes me feel old haha. They do resemble the Reiner but I'm pretty sure they are SSR Competition. Might not be remembering this accurately but they look almost exactly like the SSR Type-C or RS, however, they have a different manufacturing process or something.

must be a "frequently asked question" if SSR has it in the faq. SSR Wheels - About

Is the SSR Comp the same wheel as the SSR Type-C?
No. Although similar in appearance to the SSR Comp, the SSR Type-C has a different finish, lip, center bore, etc.

They really do just scream "early 2000s" when you look at them from other angles. The color is a great compliment to the Silver Stone Metallic, though. I wish they made RPF1’s in that color.

Edit: spelling

These wheels were known to have soft lips. Seen a number of units with bent lips.
