Default 19" x 9.5" SSR - Professor SP1 $149/ea on TR

Tire Rack has the 19" SSR Professor SP1 rims on closeout for $149/ea.

Great deal for some nice wheels if they'll fit your ride.

I just called the tire rack to find out what other fitments they had in this wheel since a +55mm offset is useless. According to the guy, they can't look up wheels by size but only by vehicle. WTF? I don't think they list a 10.5" width feel as factory fitment. What a freaking waste of time!

What did they say the offset was on the 17x9.5?
Those are 180 each too?

If you guys buy these old stock rims, make sure they tell you exactly what face disk you are getting. I ordered a set of 19X9.5 from them about a year ago when SSR just went out of business. I keept asking them to double check that what they had in stock was NOT a TYPE D Disk face because it wouldn't clear my rear calipers. They checked for me and assured it would fit my car, but never confirmed it wasn't a TYPE D disk face. When the rims arrived with tires mounted I knew right away it wouldn't fit as they looked the same as the one I was trying to replace. Sure enough, I look at the sticker and it say's TYPE D. So, make sure you don't accept "Yes, it will fit your car" as the final word. Have them tell you exactly what disk face type you are getting.
