Hey Jim I need a favor.
How much would 18" Gold SSR Competition wheels run?
Is the offset the same for all three colors?
Also, do you have some in stock?
I want to know a figure to see if I have enough to purchase them. One more thing, what is the recommended tire sizes to go with them?
Thanks, appreciate it.

-Johnny

They do not make them for the S2K. The only fitment is the WRX.

He may have gray market the wheels from Japan. The problem with doing that is they are not hub centric and they do not use the same clear coat we use on the wheels for the US market.

Those wheels are 17" from Japan. They dont have the correct offsets in japan for the 18" rear. So you either have to have the fronts imported and the rears color matched, or the full set from tire rack painted gold. If you want the gold, white or light silver in 17's just have them imported.
I am running a front 18 x 7.5 +40 from japan. I am not sure about the rears but the front set fit a set of hub centric rings I had from a previous set of wheels. The rears I have are from Tire rack, because they dont have a +55 offset in Japan.

I wanted the 18's in gold from tire rack but Jim said they're unavailable. Can anyone shine some light on this?

Just buy them from tire rack and have them painted gold. You can't get a 18 +55 in Japan. If you want a offset in the 40's you can get them from Japan in gold. Its not very expensive to have them painted and you can have the stickers put on after.
