How deep is your dish?
I found these pictures in one of the JCCA New Year Meeting 2010 galleries. These two zokushas are making donuts. One of them appears to be a Toyota Cresta GX71 (judging from the front bumper) with a nice set of deep dish SSR Mk 1 rims:

Apparently the left rear tire of the Cresta blew and these rims got certainly some damage from that action.
You can see it better in the enlargement of the picture:

Judging from this picture I’d say these rims are around 10J. 🙂
Found at Life Doodling.

I saw these amazing 14 inch 12J steel rims on Auctions Yahoo:

Just look at how deep that is! What would the offset of these rims? ET 100?

As you can see they used something like 5J wide steelies as a basis and widened it by adding another steel band in between.

Even if it looks wicked it is not exactly the safest way to have wide steel rims: the center of the original wheel may not be strong enough to carry the load of the extreme wide lip. Making the lip wider makes it a big lever of 7 or 8 inch. Imagine the stress this will create on your wheelnuts! 😀

A nice thing of classic car meetings is the amount of nice/rare wheels to spot on this event!
How about this set of Riverside rims?

Okay, there are bead blasters to do the job, but doing it with brake cleaner is always a much nicer way to do it. At least for the videos that is… 😀
86jnosakuretu48te tried to follow ae86lan’s instruction video but failed the first two attempts. But he surely made a lot of flames! 😀
So, you may ask yourself why ignite the brake cleaner with a lighter when you could have done it in a much safer way:
First comment popping up in my head is:
I’m the self-inflicted, punk detonator.
Yeah, I’m the one invented, twisted animator.
I’m a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
you’re the firestarter, twisted firestarter.

Probably already posted on every other blog you read, but I surely felt it needed to be posted on bosozoku style as well! The Kenmeri Skyline C110 on Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 (picture shot by Nori Yaro):
Rays TE37V on a Kenmeri Skyline C110!
This Kenmeri Skyline C110 was styled by HAC together with AE86 tuner Impulse. Impulse provided both the 8J Rays TE37V rims and the 6 pot Endless brake conversion for this Kenmeri.
Somehow I don’t mind the TE37V being only 8J. They fit nicely under the C110 fenders and if would have been a bit too much to show off with wider TE37V.
