Default What offset do I have? SSR Type C

Hey guys,

I have 3/4 SSR Type C wheels and I can't find my offsets or anything on the rim. I guess the stamp in the barrel got peeled off. Anyways, I need to buy a 4th rim and I don't want to buy the wrong offset! They are 17x9 and have a 27 stamped on the back of all the wheels. I have a feeling that it might be a +41 offset according to this site's chart http://upgrademotoring.com/wheels/ssr/ssr_type-c.htm (I just kind of matched the only thing that has a 27 on the chart for 17x9)

What offset do I have?
Thanks

On to the pics:

This applies to newer ssr type c- it may or may not apply to older generations or the versions actually made by ssr (tanabe makes the type c rs)
If you look closely at the mating surface, the offset should be engraved/pressed. It may be hard to see with the built up corrosion. If I remember correctly, it should be somewhere along the outer edge of the mating surface. There will be three different numbers. The first is a 3 digit number indicating size and width (17x9 should read 790) the second is a 2 digit number indicating offset, third is lug pattern.

Measure the depth from the pad surface to the inside of the wheel in MM. Then, calculate half the width of the wheel in MM. Next, subtract that measurement from the measurement you took from the pad surface to the inside of the wheel and you've got your offset.

you have 3 or 4 wheels? Any interest in selling them? Can you get more pics of the wheel face at a different angle? PM me. If they are what you think I've been looking for something like them for quite some time now.
