These nice deep dish rims were photographed on HistoriX Japan:
Deep dish SSR Mk IIs
Dunno how deep they actually are, but they appear to be somewhere between 8J and 10J…
Talking about width, how about these stretched tires?

Surely the rims are somewhere in the same range and the tires clearly aren’t! Nice!
At first I had trouble identifying the deep dish rims on this Skyline KGC10, however I recognized the car as the one I posted as wallpaper some time ago where it reveals that they are actually SSR Mk. III rims!

From this perspective you can already guess the rims up front are beyond 7J, rather into the 8J or 9J range!
On the rear they are a bit wider:

But not too much. My best guess is around 9J or 10J.
It has been a while since we had a deep dish post like this! I found these two 12J wide RS Watanabe rims for sale on Auctions Yahoo:

The rims have an offset of -50, so even with wide fender extenders the wheels will probably stick out anyway. 😉

The tires are a set of Dunlop Sport R90s 265/575 competition tires. Not something you will find on an average set of Wats!

Rims are, of course, in pcd 4×114.3 so they will even fit most older Japanese cars.

I found these widened 14 inch 5J steelies on Auctions Yahoo when I was searching for Nissan Cedric 330s. The original used to be 5J but these babies certainly are somewhere in the 9J or even 10J range!
Widened 14 inch 5J Topy steel rims
These steelies are suitable for most 5 lugnut JDM tin.
The owner claims they are made by Topy:

I never heard of that manufacturer before but from what I understand they manufacture most of the OEM steel wheels used by Japanese car manufacturers. They got a buy me now price of $2100, so they are definitely NOT a steal. 😉

Almost a year ago I spotted these deep dish SSR mk1 rims on auctions.yahoo.co.jp and they are still for sale:
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
They still look excellent in the flat matte with the Skyline C210 in the background!

Last time I stated that the seller is a very honest man and he still is: 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…
For sale for bargain price at $1070 (pricedrop of 130 dollar compared to last year) here:
