How deep is your dish?
About a month ago I posted a set of Work Equip 01s:
Deep dish Work Equip 01 15 inch 11J
They had a price tag of 90000 yen ($1000 US), well they are up for sale again with a price drop of 5000 yen ($920 US)!
Go hurry and get them here or wait till the next time they are put up for sale again with, hopefully, another price drop! 😉

A few years back the Hayashi Sakura wheels were a very rare find! Since a few years these retro vintage wheels are being reproduced in various sizes, including these 12Js:
Hayashi Sakura 14 inch 12J
Sakura (???) means Cherry Blossom. As you can see the inside of these rims have a cherry blossom shape. Sakura is associated with good fortune, love, affection and represents spring. I couldn’t think of any better rims than these!
This set of two has never been used and are in perfect condition. Consider the size of 12J to be as rare as the 7J variants were a few years back. 😉
Apparently they are made of real cherry blossoms: the seller wants 230000 yen (2500 dollars) for this pair!

I saw an ad on auctions yahoo with some 15 inch 10J SSR Formula Mesh rims:

Now, those rims are already quite special by itself, but the car featuring them was even better: a Mazda RX3 with some wide wide wide fenders!

The Mazda RX3 is looking very serious: wide fenders, bucket seats and an old school lip! Note the 13B-Garage sticker here: this car is featuring a tuned 13B from a SA22C!

It is quite a rarity to find any other deep dish rims than various sets of SSR or Techno rims. So I was quite happy when I found these deep dish Work Equips 01:
Deep dish Work Equip 01 15 inch 11J
Not only are these Work Equip 01 rims made up to a width 11.5J, but these rims are also the deep rim variant! You can tell the difference between the normal Equip 01 and the deep Equip 01 by the shape around the holes: normally they have an A shape, the deep variant has an O shape.

These rims may not be the maximum of 11.5J, but they surely are wide enough with their 11J and +20 offset!

For a mere 90000 yen (1000 USD) these two Equip 01 rims can be yours! Sounds like a bargain to me!

Well, this is how far you can stretch a tire. Ingredients: 13 inch SSR Mk II 7.5J rims and a 135/70/R13 tire.
