Default Also SSRs are not the same as a typical forged wheel....
.... they are Semi-Solid Forged.

BTW, SSR was bought out recently by tanabe. It is a sad day ( My girl and I own a few SSR wheels )...

Default It does not really matter what the company is. I will recommend not buying gravity cast wheels...
...

At least go with pressure cast.
(but do not go with a huge wheel)

At most go with forged.
(go as big as you can afford)

If you are looking on tire rack, each wheel has listed which method it was created with.
