    They're out of 15x7.5. I'm trying to see if there's a 16" option that would work. I'm also slightly hesitant about buying a wheel that is being phased out...

    Wrong! From their e-mail:
    The SSR Competition (with a finish style that is produced exclusively for the US market) is being phased out, which explains the "discontinued" This wheel has the anthracite paint finish with a silver machined lip. The replacement is called the Type C (the current JDM version) which will have the same anthracite paint color but no machined lip.

    So you are whining over the loss of a machined lip? Perhaps you need my title.

    No, I'm concerned that if a wheel got bent and had to be replaced, you couldn't buy one that matched to replace it. Then you'd have 3 wheels with a machined lip and one without. And that would look silly.

    You know it is possible to get a wheel lip machined on your own... I bet there are even a few places in the metroplex with experience in it.

    Way too much effort, Sparky! Someday I will have a sparkling set of SSRs for the Mazdaspeed. Until then, damn you Internal Revenue Service!
