Most iconic wheel brand results
It was to be expected and Jin already predicted it: SSR is the most iconic wheel brand!
So, lets find out what product by SSR is the most iconic wheel then! I found this great old advertisement of SSR at beeoneoneoh:
I made an selection out of it:
SSR Mk. I
SSR Mk. II
SSR Mk. III
SSR Formula Mesh
SSR Longchamps XR4
SSR Jilba Racing (isn’t that just a solid Work Equipe?)
SSR F5
SSR Star Shark, which is not in the picture, so here it is:
There are some other rims by SSR, but they are either newer or so rare you will never see them on a zokusha!
How stretched is your dish?
No, I did not make a mistake in the title. It was done deliberately because of these:
SSR Mk II 14 inch 10J/11J
Big deal: a pair of 14 inch 10J or 11J rims. What has this got to do with stretching then? Well have a look at this then:
SSR Mk II 14 inch 10J/11J with stretched tires
The seller gives you two (175/60 Continental EcoContact) stretched tires as a bonus!
SSR Mk II 14 inch 10J/11J with stretched tires
But there are some catches with these rims:
– seller doesn’t know the exact width (10J or 11J?) and offset
– one rim has kerb damage on its shoulder (has been polished away)
– mounting bolts are not included

Some time ago I found the website of the owner of the Japan Buttigiri Special. He posted some pictures of rims on his site, but most of them were a but odd:
Well, what better way to show how deep your dish is than by comparing it with your cat? Or if you don’t have a cat, a dog will do as well:

How deep is your dish?
This week we have some very rare rims: they are only 6J wide! 😀
Deep dish SSR Mk II rims 12 inch diameter and 6J wide
But saying they are very rare isn’t a joke: hardly anyone buys the 12 inch rims and 6J wide is a bit too wide for most cars. Think about it this way: most modern cars today drive on 6J wide rims, but then they are 15 inch in diameter!
Deep dish SSR Mk II rims 12 inch diameter and 6J wide
They are meant for smaller cars like the Toyota Starlet KP61 or the Nissan Sunny B110.

Even these 175/70 tires look stretched on this 6J wide rim…

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! 🙂
