so yeah, i turned 21 on mar. 19 and i just dont have time to take pics of the present that my bro gave me. my bro gave me a set of 3, 16" rims for my xB, he is still searching for 1 last piece. all i know about the rims is made by "Schumacher". my bro said that i will have to buy myself new tires since the tires have gone bad and he dont want to pay for them. heres the pics...

the tires are P205/40R16...

Try looking around in the Honda forums for that fourth rim....some of those JDM civic and integra owners might have one.

That's interesting, is SSR a German based company? I thought they were from Japan. I had a set of SSR Auswich's (sp?) on my Toyota Surf.

SSR are expensive wheels though, I wanted to put a spare tire rack on the back of my Surf with the same wheel and when I found the same SSR series, it was nearly $600 a wheel (in yen of course)!

I wish I could see the wheels, but all I can really say is that your bro gave you some nice red X's for your b-day.

I believe they are Nakayama Schumacher R10's. Check here: http://wheelbuys.com/ to see if they can get you another 16". They're only listing 18" right now. Talk to Chris.

Good luck!

My rims are Nakayama RSX 5's, they are made very well... (just a little heavy though).

Hey My birthday was on March 19 too!

I also splurged for something new in my xB. Too bad it wasn't really a gift but, I needed something new for the toaster.

Put in a trd exhaust. Oh how it Does sound pretty.. hehehe... but only at 3000 RPMs... on an automatic :P

Sorry to tell you this but they are not "Nakayama" those are SSRs that came out in 93! they were only available in 16inch......all those other ones are knockoffs...Sorry

those are real ssr's but if i'm not mistaken nakayama and ssr is linked somehow i just can't remember how.

That's interesting, is SSR a German based company? I thought they were from Japan. I had a set of SSR Auswich's (sp?) on my Toyota Surf.
no ssr is a a wheel line of speed star wheels and shumacher is the name of the rim, like ssr type x, or ssr gt3
those rims are probably going to be harder to find now that ssr went bankrupt.

^ I'm not sure either, but know that Nakayama's other brand is RSS - :ponder: Hmm, similar to SSR?

thanks, i may have to look into that.

no, my brother put the cap somewhere that i forgot to ask because he just got the last piece of the rim back from a rim repair shop. see how clean is the rim is?

Update again...

so today i woke up late because it was saturday. i notice my brother's car was going in and out of the driveway. then when i turned on my computer, my brother calls me and said that to bring out the camera because he was coming back from somewhere. when i got outside, i notice that he didnt drive one of his cars, he drove my xB. then when he parked in front of the garage, i ask him why does he need the camera. he looked at me and said look down. i was like "whats wrong?" then i was surprise because he got tires for the rims that he got for me. i guess he was desperate to put the rims on the xB and i dont have to pay anything. anyway, heres the pics...

the 4 new tires are Falkens 205/55R16...
