How deep is your dish?
This week we have some very rare rims: they are only 6J wide! 😀
Deep dish SSR Mk II rims 12 inch diameter and 6J wide
But saying they are very rare isn’t a joke: hardly anyone buys the 12 inch rims and 6J wide is a bit too wide for most cars. Think about it this way: most modern cars today drive on 6J wide rims, but then they are 15 inch in diameter!

They are meant for smaller cars like the Toyota Starlet KP61 or the Nissan Sunny B110.

Even these 175/70 tires look stretched on this 6J wide rim…

Remember the SSR Formula Mesh rims feature? Well, this time we found some SSR Reverse Mesh more SSR Formula Mesh rims:
Deep dish SSR Formula Mesh rims
The difference between the Formula Mesh and the Reverse Mesh rims is the lip. The Formula Mesh features a second lip in the rim while the Reverse Mesh has a straight (flat) lip.
I found these on the Nagoya Racing bbs, but apparently their service discontinued last month, so I can’t find the exact diameters anymore. 🙁
Lip on this SSR Formula Mesh is 8.5 inches wide!
The lip alone is over 8.5 inches wide!! Most people I know drive around between 7J and 8J wide wheels… 8.5J lip is pure madness! 🙂
I’m not sure how wide they actually are. If the lip is already 8.5J and the center looks about 1 inch wide I would say they are 13J or 14J wide…
I think it is just a matter of taste, but personally I do like the Formula Mesh rims more than these Reverse Mesh rims. But of course I wouldn’t say no to any of these two at all! 🙂

A few months ago we posted a video by zeppann13J of his wheel picture collection. We found another one by him:

I spotted these deep dish rims on auctions.yahoo.co.jp:
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
Even though they are not polished but finished flat matte at first glance these 13 inch rims look awesome! Especially with the nose of a Skyline Japan C210 on Hart Racing rims in the background. 😉

And with 9.5J at the front and 11J at the rear you can’t go wrong!
However the seller is a very honest man: he warns that these rims may look good, but in fact one of the rear rims is damaged at the hub opening (see picture above) and has cracks around the nuts and also one of the 9.5J front rims is not air tight. Of course the rims can be fixed, but that will cost you money as well.
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: actually not that good as they appear to be…
Even though the seller says it is at bargain price at $1200 (compared to other 11J they are not really cheap!) it actually a may turn out to be buying a pig in a poke.

We did see the Techno Shadow rims before. We found another set by Techno: it is the Phantom rim:
Techno Phantom, most probably 10J or wider
We do not know how wide these rims actually are, but we think they are wider than 10J and they are featured on a well known Nissan Fairlady S30 Z:

Update: something went wrong with the pictures. They should be fixed now. 🙂
