How deep is your dish?
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! 🙂

This week another classic design: the SSR mesh rims!
Deep dish SSR Formula Mesh rims
SSR mesh rims feature two types: the Formula Mesh and the (Full) Reverse Mesh. The difference between the two designs is the lip: the Formula Mesh has an extra lip in the center of the lip while the Reverse Mesh have a straight lip.

What is more kyusha than a really deep dish set of RS Wantanabe rims?
Two 12J wide 14 inch RS Wantanabe rims
RS Wantanabe was one of the first alloy rims manufacturers in Japan and these 8 spoke rims have been manufactured since the start of the company in 1968!
Deepest lip on RS Wantanabe possible
These rims are the widest RS Wantanabe wheels available and have an offset of -57! I wouldn’t buy these rims in this auction: they are damages and two new rims bought at the factory cost less than these two!
You can find them for sale here:

This week some USDM deep dish rims:
Fake SSR Mk. I rims?
Even though these rims look really well on this Toyota Cressida they are fakes! To me these imitation SSR Mk. I rims are unknown but it is quite obvious they are copied from the SSR Mk. I.
However the Cressida itself is the best looking zokusha outside Japan I’ve ever seen!

This Cressida has oldskool curbfeelers. Haven’t seen those since my stepdad had to remove them from his Datsun 100a due to stricter law prohibiting them to be mounted on any car in Holland.
