I bought a set of these when I lost a badge from one of my wheels last month and it's still there so far but I plan to keep the rest just in case:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225570562060
Although they are showing as Out of Stock there are other suppliers.

Thank you Enuffzed for the fitting & cabin filter! 8)
Should go well with the immaculate seats from Usel
Anyone have a small M badge for the wheel going spare?

Nice
hydro-dipped or skinned?

Been waiting to restore these wheels for longest time but never really had the time. At one point I was even considering selling because it was just sitting in storage but I finally found a local wheel shop that I trust for the job.
OG SSR Type-C RS in 18x9.5 I believe ‘RS’ stands for race series but more importantly they have forged centers making them less susceptible to bends. The original finish was painted gray but I had them refinished with machined lips and powder coated centers with slight gloss finish.

Looks good, was it expensive to do? PM me if you’d prefer

3gGT01 said:Yeah, I agree Dubbedown, moving the caliper inward would be an issue when installing pads since the space would not be equal anymore.Dubbedown said:3gGT01 said:Here's the wheel information. I'm not sure why this is not working for me, since others seem to not have a problem with this setup from FreakyParts. I haven't seen 18mm spacers, so far. If the brackets were machine to push the caliper a bit further from the rotor, that would likely fix the issue. I haven't installed pads, so I'm not sure how close pads are to the rotor edge.

Ahh… those are ZCP fronts, which have more conservative width/offset compared to CSL. With 47mm, you’re basically running a 32 after spacer so that fitment sounds right. For an 8” width I think max offset is 30mm. FYI CSL are 8.5 et44 so that’s the 3mm difference we’re talking about.
20 obviously gives you healthy margin but here’s link to 18’s just in case. I don’t think you should mess with the bracket since caliper is centered with rotor. I can’t imagine the width / offset or your bracket is any different than the RR kit I purchased, other than maybe weight.

So glad you were able to identify these as ZCP rims and that being the difference. I did notice that these rims were 8" and not 8.5" width. Since these are ZCP's and 18mm spacer should still give me tire clearance, right? As opposed to 18mm on a CSL wheel would be pushed out further.
Really appreciate you taking the time to identify the issue Dubbedown! :happyclap: :cheers:
Finally got my car sorted. Heading down to track this weekend. Forecast shows rain so switched to my street tires. Will take closer photo of spoke clearance but I confirm no spacers needed to clear Porsche Brembos with stock rears (18x9 et30).
Quick freshen up ready for breakfast at AV8 tomorrow..
I’ve barely started with this one - a couple of passes with the FLEX on the Bonnet, headlight eyebrows and Mpower badging removed and a quick wash! Still need to wet sand the paint where the badges were to remove the shadows left behind.
Mechanically it’s brilliant (apart from the tired original shocks), but needs a little cosmetic tlc; a visit from the dent man, a little paint here and there, proper paint correction. Suspension has turned up from AUTODOC. Lots to do…

Returned two from fleabay for being pathetic copies. Another that got lost in the post
I did order a red one but didn't like it so I sent it back
