SSR Wheels Photo Thread

Always a bunch on YJA if you know what size you need.

I got some vintage ones from Rod at Tetsuya Garage. And mine brand new, he is right there and can find the size you need faster than a search engine.

Looks like SSR/More-Japan still sell them new. I don't know exactly because I lack calipers, they're 64-65mm it seems, but SSR only lists one size in the same style (one size in all the classic wheel styles actually). I just shot SSR an email with my problem and detailed pictures, if they don't reply tomorrow I think I'll just drive to their Torrance office. Lucky me!

I guess I'll post the photos here for future reference, I'll try to update this with a resolution as well. The caps that fit my rears are 68mm.

I don't know if he could find what I need, since I don't know what I need. I'm gonna wait to see what SSR says.

More Japan is really good at communication via email. They'll likely confirm what you need by tomorrow afternoon.

I'm not sure if Bryan aka nakioki is on here but he works at tanabe still I think

SSR didn't reply and I was running errands so I drove over there. Danh measured my front wheels at 64mm and informed me they don't make any MK caps in that size, he told me that he's going to send an inquiry in Japan and suggested I keep an eye out on YJA in the mean time.

Mike, that looks amazing.


Update:

Garrett,

Japan said that they do not have any centercaps that would have anything near 63/64mm diameter. Also, they do not have any records showing that the MKIII wheel was offered in a configuration that accepted a 64mm diameter.

Best Regards,

Danh

So I'm screwed. Guess I'll find a machinist to bore out the center.

GARRETT!!!! Are those yours?!

[Tkblazer]

He's been hoarding those for a while Will

^ It's true, yes

Ohhh man, I totally forgot he posted this a while ago in this thread. I guess I was just wondering why they aren't mounted yet?! Such a tease!

They're probably the rarest wheel in 4 x 100... unless they made the Hayashi Yayoi in 4 x 100 as well.

[Tkblazer]

I'd say long champs might have them beat but both are rare

[druz]

I'd say xr4 also, not including any variants like xr4z. Afaik Hayashi didn't make any of techno/yayoi/etc wheels in 4x100.

[Joelioooo]

The star sharks look really good, not a big fan of them but loving yours, Garrett

Hayashi did make the TRV in either 110 or 120, but have never observed 100, it's entirely possible though. Devil Japan made their Shadow Spokes in 4-100 and also Focus Racing with their Fin in 4-100.
