How deep is your dish
A few months ago we posted a video by zeppann13J of his wheel picture collection. We found another one by him:
Enjoy his snack with some nice rock and roll as background music. 🙂
How deep is your dish?
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. 😉
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
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. 🙂

Eventhough the SSR Techno Shadow rims are very hard to come by I found another Bosozoku styled car with a set of them:

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?
