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.

The second “how deep is your dish” posting we did was about some 10J (or more) wide Hayashi Streets. So imagine buying 12J rims and mounting them under your car, what would you do with your old less wide rims?
Well, we know now:
Hayashi Street rims used as garden hose reel
Use them as a garden hose reel! 😀
Thanks to 86ers.org for finding this gem!

This week we do not have amazingly wide wheels like we used to, but a set of 8J wide SSR Mk II rims!
But why feature these wheels then? Well, simply because they have a set of 185/55 tires stretched on them!
SSR Mk II 14 inch 8J with stretched tires
In this picture you can really see how stretched the tires are:

Now that would look great on a kyusha style car! 🙂
