16" SSR Competition at Tire Rack - 11lbs!

What do you guys think? Should look really good on my VBP Fit Sport. Yeah, I'm seriously considering it.



Now I just need to decide on some tires...

From my experience with Tire Rack which hasnt been great to say the least. They wont sell you any wheel that they havent confirmed fitment on the particular car you want it for. With that said, if you have selected an application on there site, the Fit or Fit Sport and seen the wheels available for it, this wheel isnt in that group of wheels that Tire Rack has confirmed fitment without any concerns from them. If a wheel even if its the same bolt pattern and in the offset range that will normally fit the car you want it for, they wont sell it to you and if this pisses you off, believe me your not the only one. Its just there stupid rules and you have to put up with it if you want wheels from them.

Yup you are correct. They're trying to avoid issues from customers telling them that the wheel they got doesnt fit their vehicle even though the buyer is the one that gave them the rims specs.

Tirerack doesnt offer custom offsets. Whatever they think works for your car is what only they can offer.

I've always had great service from Tirerack. They would call to ensure proper fitment. I think it makes good business sense. If they won't sell you a particular wheel, just buy it from someplace else.

JDMGD3, I will sell you whatever you want. If you think they are going to fit your car just call me and I will get them on the way. If it is something we do not list for your and they don't fit we would not take them back if they were driven on. There is more to what makes a wheel fit than just offset and bolt pattern. We do brake clearance checks, center bore, load capacity of the wheels and the tires that would be needed. If something doesn't work we will not list it.
If I can help any time just call me.

Hey Jim, sorry but I dealt with Clay for my order. Either way it was a simple and painless process to order from you guys. Thanks again, now just waiting for the UPS truck to show up with my stuff!

Do you know if these SSR's are forged or not?

they look good but you will need a min 45mm offset with 205/40

i have kumo ast 17's 215/50 on my accord and they are great and had same on my fit sport until they rubbed with the wheels at 42mm offset..man they held great!! i am looking for a wheels like you have here, however findng the right offset with what i like has been tough...
