How deep is your dish?
We left out the SSR Tomcat in the search for the most iconic bosozoku wheel since it is already a very rare rim and even rarer in a suitable zokusha size.
However I did find a suitable pair now:
Deep dish SSR Tomcat 14 inch 11J
These 14 inch rims are with their 11J the widest rims made of the Tomcat series. According to the seller they have the same depth as the 10J but they have a more negative offset than those rims.

If you pay an additional 45000 yen you will also get the two 225/55 Advan slicks stretched around the rims.

These SSR Mk I rims are the best fitted Mk I rims I’ve seen so far!
Shakotan Mark II SSR mk1
From this angle the wheel almost appears to be extending the bodywork!
Another picture from the side to see how low this car actually is:
Shakotan Mark II SSR mk1
This shakotan Toyota Mark II GX71 lowered so much is almost scrapping to the ground! Unfortunately no info on the dimensions of the wheels, but looking at the pictures they must be 14 inch and somewhere near the 10J width.

Remember one of the early deep dish postings about a set of vintage Racing Hart rims (mounted on a Toyota Mark II MX41 Hardtop Grande) for sale on Auctions Yahoo?
The seller has some new rims for sale:
Techno Shadow 14 inch 13J rims on zokusha Mark II
In case you have noticed those enormous wide fenders: apparently those enormously wide 13J rims do fit in there!

Unlike the first picture suggests he is only selling a set of 2 rims. The rims have a bolt pattern of PCD 114.3. They are 14 inch in diameter, 13J wide and have an offset of -74. Amazing!
In case you are interested, you can find the action here. But beware: 13J rims are very rare and the current bid is already at $3200! Of course you can always use the buy me now option and pay $3800 and be sure that you have absolutely an unique and rare pair of rims under your car!

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

If you thought Zeppann13J was the only person to post amazing deep dish videos you were wrong: kybdirtra89 posted this video with a lot of yummy rims:
Nice touch is showing the width, size and offset of the wheels! (???)
My personal favorite is the SSR Mk3 14 inch 11J ET-51 at 0:33! (???)
