The SSR Casablanca 8 are JDM Wheels by Japanese wheel manufacturer SSR Wheels. This beautiful set of SSR Casablanca 8, sit nicely on an aired out Toyota Starlet KP61. More interestingly, this KP61 Starlet made its way to Long Beach, CA all the way from Hawaii to attend the 2017 Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS 2017)! Dressed in TOM’S RACING livery this Toyota Starlet was definitely a crowd pleaser.
The AME Windmuhle are Old School JDM Wheels that resemble a turbine. The AME Windmuhle, which are higher end version of the Enkei EK90 JDM Wheels, fearure a lightweight one piece construction with covered lug nuts behind a center cap. AME Wheels used feature higher end Enkei Wheels, but are now produced elsewhere. Pictured are the AME Windmuhle mounted on an EA series Honda Civic, and in the background sits a 70s Chevrolet Camaro.
OZ Wheels (OZ Racing) including the, OZ Fittipaldi & OZ Vega, were very popular Wheels back in the 80’s and 90’s. In 1989 rap duo EPMD made the rap album “Unfinished Business” and adorned us with a classic album cover with both OZ Racing Wheels. On the left, we have rapper Parrish Smith sitting on the hood of a W124 series Mercedes Benz 300E sitting on OZ Fittipaldi (cousin to the OZ Futura). On the right we have rapper Erick Sermon sitting on the hood of a ChevroletCamaro IROC-Z sitting on a set of OZ Vega.
The RE Amemiya AW-7 are JDM Wheels made exclusively for the Mazda RX-7 FD3s. The RE Amemiya AW-7 a feature a rounded 5 spoke face bolted to an aluminum barrel in 2 piece construction. The RE Amemiya AC987 is a bodykit for the Mazda RX-7 FD3s made in conjunction with Greddy, as it is also known as the RE Amemiya Super GReddy Body Kit. The RE Amemiya AC987 / RE Amemiya Super GReddy changes the RX-7’s looks with fixed Porsche style headlights in lieu of the factory pop up lights.
Riverside Super River is one of the rarest of the rare in JDM Wheels. The Riverside Super River looks like someone took an impeller wheel out of a giant turbo and made a 2 piece jdm wheel out of it.The Riverside Super River are mounted to this familiar and beautiful KPGC110 Nissan Skyline.These Riverside Super River looked flawless, a view that I have never seen in person before. I wonder if those are original specs on these old school JDM Wheels. These wheels are definitely my highlight of JCCS 2017.
Although there is a nice s14 Nissan Silvia on Modex KS-05R pictured; my favorite items on this page are the Modex Dori Dori wheels more commonly known as the SSR Dori Dori Mesh, and the Modex Keiichi Tsuchiya Steering Wheel pictured below. The Modex Dori Dori / SSR Dori Dori Mesh are a gorgeous 2 piece (really 3 piece welded) wheel with split spoke mesh face and stepped SSR Formula barrels. The Modex Keiichi Tsuchiya Steering Wheel is a rare cool piece from the drift king with slanted spokes much like a Nardi Side Spoke steering wheel. Also noted is there are 3 versions os the Modex KS-05 wheel. It seems the main difference of the Modex KS-05 and the Modex KS-05R is the slanted lip on the Modex KS-05R and the squared off lip on the Modex KS-05; with that being said there is the Modex KS-CE which has an extended stepped lip.
The Bolzanos lineup of VIP wheels look to have an american style to them, reminiscent of an application you may see on a chevy truck. The Bolzanos SAVAGE has a twin six spoke design with covered lug nut, with a chrome finish. Similar to the Savage, the Bolzanos SPHINCK has a twin seven spoke design in chrome with a covered lug nuts. The Bolzanos MARIAGE has a five wrapped five spoke design and exposed lug nuts, in this case resembling other more common Japanese VIP Wheels. On the ohter hand we have the Bolzanos Vancleef with more of a european style; slightly reminiscent to the Breyton Magic or something from Hartge. The Bolzanos B.A.E SS1 is a two piece wheel with a 5 spoke design and open lug area. The Bolzanos B.A.E MARIAGE is similar to the regular Bolzanos MARIAGE but with two piece construction. The Bolzanos B.A.E MS has a split spoke performance look similar to the BBS LM or Work VS-XX, but with a slightly different look. Thw Bolzanos B.A.E DS is another two piece with a more formal VIP look similae to the SSR Vienna Dish or Work Euroline DH. Pictured are the Bolzanos SPHINCK on a Toyota Crown.
