New SSR Star Sharks

[fwdtamiya]

Looks like the new limited release Star Sharks have arrived, if you haven't heard. Was on display at Tokyo Auto Salon earlier this year. One piece cast aluminum, basically XXR. First company I've seen knockoff it's own product.

If they are cheap, id buy.

[Adventiv]

Enkei did the same with the Apache.

They look good, but a personal preference of mine is i wish that since it's a 1 piece wheel, they should've got rid of the bolts. I'm not a fan of fake bolts/rivets.

[Cxmoney]

You gotta be fuckin kidding me

I just bought new work wheels. But man I want some star sharks!!!

[RustRat]

Wait wait wait. That means you can purchase brand new Star Sharks, from SSR? Ok, I get it, it's not the original, but dear god, am I tempted.

[fwdtamiya]

The Apaches actually look great though!

There's no way these are coming from SSR, probably from whoever holds the rights to Colin. But I don't know exactly where/where to purchase. This was my initial source.

Those really look good. It sucks that they are not the real deal but I sure can't tell from the pictures.

[HarryB]

Well, if quality is not crap and price is right, I cannot see why not. Do we know ANYONE that might have more info on those (who makes them, bolt pattern, width/offset, weight, price)?

[fwdtamiya]

Found it. Link added to the original post. 4x114 only, guys.

114.3 fitment only?

[RustRat]

Specs look kick-ass, but that 114.3 only...

[fwdtamiya]

And this page confirms to me that they are made by XXR.

If you cant beat em, join em? :shrug:

[tsingson]

Wouldn't it say XXR next to it?

[fwdtamiya]

It just lists the brand, product name and product model. So, the last two are the same and the brand wouldn't be listed as XXR because Colin is the brand, XXR is the manufacturer (which there isn't a slot for). Colin has never had in house wheel manufacturing, it's always been outsourced.

I just spotted the XR4 reprint on YJA

Despite the beautiful pic I'm not even going to let myself get a little bit excited since I'm sure they'll only be 114.3 and also limited to 100 sets or less. Perhaps Works' sales of the Equip 40's may help in getting SSR to reconsider? :shrug:

[MLambert19]

Those Equip 40's are pure sex... I wish Maine roads weren't so pot-hole-stricken!

[MX5Wisher]

Bump. Yeah I know... old thread... but...
