these are the earlier SSR Type C 1-pc wheels which are no longer made, you are confusing them with the current Type C-RS wheels
sets of Type C 17x9 5x114.3 are almost as impossible to find as the Buddy Club P1 Racing QF wheels
Buddy Club P1-QF 17 x 9 +65 - 13.9# ea
SSR Type-C Comp 17 x 9 +55 - 15.4# ea
SSR Type-C Comp 18 x 9 +55 - 16.8# ea
If I were to sell anything right now it would be the 18" set because I'm now on an unemployed tire budget, sigh ...

bump, anyone looking for a nice set of 18 x 9 SSR Type-C wheels?

I'm in for Dixie, it's the only event close enough for me to drive to. I hear the Merideths will be back next year, too. Hoping for a big class!

Sorry man, meant to mention that in my earlier reply and got distracted. Will get that other info to you soon.
I will try to be at Dixie, but it is too early to commit now. I may eventually be back on the wrong coast next year, but am not anticipating it happening before the Summer if even then. Lot of change in the wind for my life at this time.

Recovering Piston driver
I'm considering doing more cone dodging rather then track days, so I'm looking at doing the Peru, IN and Lincoln, NE events possibly..
And I won't be protesting anyone since i'm slow :D

I thought I'd share my STX legal intake setup as an alternative to buying the MS or AEM and modifying it, which would cost maybe $400-ish. I just bought a couple of aluminum tubing bends, some silicone couplers and a filter for less than $150. It took a little bit of welding, but I think that this could be done without any welding for only another $50.
A full writeup (including a list of things that I had to buy) is here and the finished product looks like this:
Ignore the fact that my car is really dirty.
If you don't want to weld anything (or CNC machine a MAF mount), you can get a MAF tube like this one for $13
And the vacuum tubes can be connected with
I welded everything together because I could and because it's lighter, so the whole thing is about 4.8 lbs, for a total of 7.25 lbs of weight savings. I haven't put it on a dyno, so I don't know about power, but the car generally drives the same as it did before even with no screens in the intake.
There's actually no real tech here, because all I did was fit tubes in to connect from one place to another, but I hope this is helpful to somebody anyway.
