Default SSR Type C coming back to Tire Rack?

I just saw that the SSR type C RS was listed for other applications on the Tire Rack site. Any word on if it will be available again for the S2000 in 17's or 18's?

spoke to Jim on this a couple weeks ago as they were scheduled to arrive June 1. They don't know when/if the C are going to arrive now.

typeC (non RS) come in at 18x7.5 (15.19lbs) 18x8.5 (16.36lbs) 18x9.5 (17.31lbs)

VERY lights

type C RS (2 piece) come in @ 18x9.5(18.5lbs) 18x10.5 (19.5lbs)

The new wheels are all painted with no polished lips. They Type C-RS is fullyly forged rim section and semi solid forged middle. They are 50% stronger than the regular Comp. We have already sold out of the 18X9.5 but we will have more on the way. If I can help let me know.

I used to have the only 2 sets of gloss black SSR Type Cs in 16 inch back in 2001-2002 (S2000 specific). I miss those wheels. Those were some of the lightest wheels out back then. To bad both sets got destroyed.

I saw these in the Tire Rack ad in the last Sport Compact Car magazine and really like them. Do they come in standard AP2 sizes and offsets, or just the 18's?

You know I wish I had some pictures. I remember in 2003 an ebay seller was using my car with my Cwest kit, trying to sell it off as a Cwest "style" kit. That picture was in the grass with my black Type Cs. It was in Hawaii. Cant seem to find it though. So to answer your question, no. But if you can dig them up let me know. I want a pic too.
