The Type F are those ones that cracked. That is a scary failure for sure. I would expect that from Rota cast wheels, not the SSR

Thanks for the advice. I'm seeing $360 for the 17x9, looks like 19x10.5 is $500, but that is not really a size i'm looking at.
Unless you were talking about the GTF01, which is a true forged wheel. The GTV01/02/03 is the flow form/rotary forged stuff.

So im thinking about getting these but not sure what size to go with..... My issue is I have Seibon carbon fiber front fenders(10mm wider) with Brembos up front.
I had SSR Type-F but i smashed up the driver side so i need to get a new set.
I had: F:18x7.5 (+48 i think) with 10mm spacers, 235/40/18
R:18x8 (not sure) 255/35/18
I want to get a 245 or 255 up front with a 265 in the rear..... the rears will be no problem as im rolled and can buy whatever offset needed but theres not really anything I can do with the front is there??? Like 1mm space with the type-F's and the brembos :/

I've seen multiple failures, including catastrophic ones:
That was only a couple weeks ago (and occurred in a 100+ mph turn by the way).
I understand why people put up with it for wheels that are cheap and in difficult sizes (e.g., the 17x10 6ULRs), but SSR are too expensive to deal with that garbage.
I would buy a set of NT03 as ugly track wheels, and save the pretty SSR for the street. But good luck to you. Those are my thoughts.

I like the look of them! They have been quite strong on track so far, dropped a wheel in Willow Spring's ditches many times no bends or cracks to report
