Yes, the Competition's are forged. I cant say the same for the whole line of SSR wheels but the Competition's are there most performance oriented wheel and for that reason its forged for strength and lightweight.

 

I just slapped the wheels and tires on my car yesterday.

I also weighed the wheels and tires to see the difference for myself:
- Stock 15" wheels and Stock Dunlops - 35lbs each
- SSR 16"s wheels with Kumho Tires - 30lbs each

Nice!

 

The SSR is a forged wheel. If I can help let me know.

 

 

SSR Comps are nice wheels, but be careful if you use them a lot for street driving. I've heard of people cracking or bending them after a lot of street use. Other people have had no problems, but the general consensus is that they're more of a competition wheel (hence the name) that sacrifices some strength for low weight.

 

Thanks for the heads up, so far the wheels have help up against the worst NY City has to offer so hopefully what you've heard is wrong.
I'll post if anything bad should happen to my set but I don't go looking to dive into potholes if I can avoid it!

 

very nice choice of wheels.

16x7 rims

advan rg = 12.7 lbs cast
ssr comp = 11.0 lbs forged

 

Wow- 11 pounds for 16 inch wheels- I thought my SSR Type-X's were light (10.5 pounds, but they are 15x7s)!

 

haha theres nothing wrong with that..
