those of you with ssr comps/type c

i'm looking to get some in 17x8 +30 and 17x9 +30 for my fc from tire rack unless someone is looking to sell theirs. anyway my question... does anyone know how big of a lip these wheels have? from all the pics i've seen they look like they have little to none.

If you are gonna order them you should hurry up and do so since SSR Japan is now out of business and they probably arent shipping out anymore wheels to the US, unless SSR US is a different company.

You can thank all the companies selling knockoff wheels and other products, especially ebay. Who knows which JDM company is next?

"herblenny" 18"



"moehler" 17"



I've had 15" SSR Comps on my turbocharged Miata.

Lip on those wheels, as above, was minimal, but then again, who cares? People buy these wheels because they're super light, not because of one aesthetical feature.

^ i too am buying them for their weight. but since i'm also looking at the gram light 57pro it comes down to aesthetics... i like the six spoke ssr and the lip on the gram lights. i can get the gram lights for a better price than the comps but have to wait two months. i'm ordering this week so all opinions are welcome.
