SSR is indeed still in existance. Although they're pretty much known as SPEED STAR.

And Konig ripped it off THEM, not the other way around.

Is the ssr stuff available in the states?

Indeed they are. They're even availible at Tire Rack, although they fetch Volk TE-37 prices (Considering I think they're around the same weight/strength).

I don't know about the "non racing" wheels that Speed Star makes (The classic ones, or the big "Bling Bling" van/sedan rims), those would probably have to be special order from Japan. Study some Japanese if you want those old school rims (Which I will admit, are pretty cool for 15-20 year old wheel designs...).

HRE.

There can only be one BEST.

 

[K Dan]

I agree w/ DVN, HRE wheels are real nice but $$$$$$$$$$, I got ADR design and I like them alot.

 

[PsSsShTGSX]

im not gonna say konigs are the best, but i think they look pretty sweet. only brand name i could find in this style wheel. they will be arriving next week. but advan,volk and oz are all up there. then i say racinghart. if i had the loot i would get the oz superleggera's.

hey, yea i had the stock 10spoke gsx wheels for a 2g gsx and they r made by enkei, believe it or not. They bent easy as ever. OI bent them the 2nd day i had my car, not lying. Enkei's look good i wont lie, but they bend easy. Now i have koning tantrums (20 month or so) no bends at all and i live in Pittsburgh (roads suck) Konig, racing hart, definitely volk and oz are good from what i hear. I like ggames wheels but i dunno how they look on 2gs.

Racing hart
Velox , why doesnt anyone on have velox rims ?
Volk
and a few more

 

[4geze63]

I like the way Konig Villians look on 1g's

 

[Flash]

Some people need to learn how to drive. I've had Konig wheels on my car for like 3 years and they haven't bent yet.
I'd love to get some Volk's though.

What do you guys think about Rota?

I love my RO_JAs. Anything forged is going to be some good stuff tho.

Ive been using Volks(Le28n) for a while now and theyre great. Light, strong and good looking, but they are pricey. If youre looking to spend a little less Racing Harts are really nice. Ive used Racing Harts on my 2g for a while and never had a problem with them. It all depends on what you want to do with the car and where you live. While I was attending college years ago I lived in a town that had alot of potholes and at the time all I could afford were konigs w/ 225 40 18s. Each rim had 2 or 3 bends in it and that is while being extra careful and babying the car; you cant always stop or slow down real quick when you see a pothole because there is traffic behind you.

1 of my friends had Konig rhythms. He actually busted 1 on a small pothole. It cracked almost entirely into 2 pieces. :thumbdown
