Remember the beautiful SSR F5 rims we posted two weeks ago? Well, how about a set of SSR F6 then?
SSR F6 14 inch 6.5J
You may think they are not as beautiful as the F5s, but they are much rarer than those 12 inch wide F5s!
This also reflects in the price: the F5s have a current bid of 10,500 yen ($115) for two rims and the F6s have a current bid of 49,800 yen ($560) for four rims!
SSR F6 14 inch 6.5J
The only vehicles able to use a six lugnut and use 6.5J wide rims in a sane way are some small delivery vans and mini SUVs like the Daihatsu Rocky.
What’s even more puzzling: the rims are 14 inch but the tires are 155/55/R15! I’ve seen someone doing such thing with an innertube between the tire and the bead on the inside of the tire. Anyone familiar with that type of tire mounting?
You can find these rims on Auctions Yahoo

Strange though it may seem, some late 50’s and early 60’s Japanese rides came in 6-stud. The 1st Generation Prince Skyline’s are such, as are the early Nissan Bluebirds and of a more commercial nature, the Mazda utility’s. Still. I don’t see these alloys looking particularly nice on my S21. Maybe alright on a Mazda Ute though!
That is something I didn’t know yet! Thanks!
I can picture these 6 stud rims under a Prince Gloria A30 though. 😉
