The specs are 18x8.5 with a +45 offset. The shoes are 245/40zr/18's.
I didn't put the SSR & Comp stickers on cause I didn't wanna advertise the hell out of them...the center caps are enough.

Please post specs: width, offset, tire size (stock? or did you go 245?) How did they work the issue of the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)?

Hey man, those rims are tight. Definitely a great value for what you get. One question: How are you getting away with not having your license plate on the front? Gotten any flack? I'm in eastern Iowa, originaly from IL, and I know it's required in both states.

looks great! :D
but tell me, have you noticed any thing in acceleration or handling wise? I understand that they're close to 7 lbs lighter than stock (stock 22lbs, SSR comp. 15.4lbs?)?
and guys.... the guy's posting about his wheels, not his tranmission choice :p

The SSR Type-C is one bitchin' wheel. I'm debating whether to get it in 17 or 18 inch. Wouldn't the smaller wheel help with low-speed acceleration, but limit the top speed?

I like the I was thinking of them myself
with the 40 series he has lowered the gearing. to use a 17" you would have to have a 50 series tyre to remain close to the same diameter of the 18's and then you get flex in the side walls. (this is assuming you want your speedometer and odometer to be some what acurate)

Nice color matching with the body and the rim. Also matching the shift **** color too. The SSR type C was in my buying list because it is light and inexpensive. Its manufacturing method is taking advantage of forging and casting. Unfortunately, they don't have silver color for my size in our market, just gold or white.
I have Momo shift **** too. Mine is Combat Blue. Did you cut the shift bar?
Mine is 4AT and did, and will do, mod a lot. Worth doing suspension mod, coz it improve the manouver very much. I am enjoying my 8, who cares! :p I am not a circuit racer. F1 cars these days have semi automatic with paddle shift like 8. Only pitty that it is just 4 speed.
