How deep is your dish?
Eventhough the SSR Techno Shadow rims are very hard to come by I found another Bosozoku styled car with a set of them:
Deep dish SSR Techno Shadow rims
This Toyota Celica Liftback is widened in Grachan style to mimic the 70s racer style:

In my opinion this car is one of the best looking Grachan styled cars I’ve seen so far!

This week we have a nice picture of some deep dish SSR Techno Shadow rims:

Little is known about the Techno Shadow rims, only that the were made by SSR somewhere in the 80s. They are even rarer than a meeting a gaijin in Hokkaido!
These deep dished Techno Shadows look fantastic on these Bosozoku styled cars! Really nice old school look and amazing how the thin spokes still keep such deep dished wheel in place!
And how deep is your dish?

Beeoneoneoh posted some pictures of 13J wide rims on a Nissan 510. Here is one with a set of Techno Shadow rims on the 510:

And have a look at how wide they actually are on this small Bluebird:

Can you already imagine the over-fenders/fender-flares going over these rims?

Sure, we all saw how many how to stretch your tires before including the brake cleaner trick!
But I bet you never saw two bosozoku (employees) stretching a Toyo Proxes 225 around a 12J SSR Mk. II rim before without brake cleaner!
Great haircut btw! 🙂

This week we have another set of rare rims:
Deep dish SSR mk. III 12J rims
Not that a set of SSR mk. III rims are rare, but their width is quite rare! They are 12J wide, which is very uncommon for this rim. You see much more the more popular Mk. I and II in the very deep dish regions than the later types!
Proof of the 12J width of these Mk. III rims
And as a bonus you get:
a set of worn Dunlop slicks!
Probably these rims were not used for bosozoku styled cars but more likely for a racecar.
