How deep is your dish?
I found this great video by zeppann13J (I wonder what that 13J in his name means! 😉 ) and it is all about rims:
Not all rims are deep dish but almost all of them are very very wide! 🙂
I wonder how many of these rims you were unable to identify the design… I have to admin I couldn’t identify 3 of them… 😮
How deep is your dish?
This week I found a set of SSR Mk. I for you:
Deep dish SSR Mk. I
This Skyline Japan has 215/40/15 tires on the front and 245/35/15 on the rear. The tires are not stretched much so most probably these Speed Star Mk. I rims are at the front 8 inch wide and at the rear 10J wide.
Here you can see them in full glory on the shark nosed Skyline Japan:

Last weeks poll results
Last week we asked you about what you think of the rim width on Bosozoku styled cars. Most of you thought they can never be wide enough and runner up was 10J as a good comparison between deep dish and extremely wide rims!
This weeks poll is about the styling of the site: we changed over to a new image format:
Old image format
The old image width is 350 pixels wide and allows us to wrap the text around the image. This looks cool but sometimes makes the texts unreadable.
So we decided upon this new image format:
New image format
The new image width is 460 pixels wide and fills up the full width of the text so there is no wrapping.
So what is your opinion about the image size change?

Remember the deep dish steelies I posted some time ago? Well, they are deep compared to these 15 inch 14J ET -74 steel rims I found on Auctions Yahoo!

These rims don’t look that deep, eventhough they are more than double in width than the average rim on any car!

Only 500 dollars and they are yours! Offset is 114.3×4, so they should fit on most older Japanese cars. They would even fit easily on my Toyota Carina or on any hachiroku! 😛
BTW: Nice car collection on the background! I see three 240K Skylines on the foreground and a Gloria (or Laurel) in the background.

Tires are supposed to be 285/40 and look quite stretched. Amazing how round these tires become when stretched this much!
And who cares if stretched tires have less grip: 285 width stretched tires should give me more grip than my 185 unstretched tires! 😉

You may think you did already see this deep dish SSR Mk. II rim before. Correct and incorrect at the same time: take a close look:
Deep dish SSR Mk. II rims
They are indeed SSR Mk. II and have the same color, but this one is less wide and has a different tire on it. Maybe this rim used to belong to the front of the car?
