DAMN! :bow: Those are hella hard to find..........the real O.Gs!!!!!!!!way better than those imitations!!!!props on your SSRs
Try looking around in the Honda forums for that fourth rim....some of those JDM civic and integra owners might have one.
bB626 03-25-2005, 03:36 AM hey, they REALLY are SSR! i thought they were some imitation rims, haha... thanks

fsr20det 03-25-2005, 04:21 AM ssr shumachers are the ____. too bad tenzo whored out the design. ricers will not even notice the difference or care but true enthusiusts will. you can't find a real polished lip on tenzo's. btw happy b-day mines comin up on monday. aries baby!
DJ_X_Trodinaire 03-25-2005, 04:53 AM belated happy birthday by the way
xBino 03-25-2005, 05:08 AM Happy belated birthday! Good luck on finding the last piece to your present!
bB626 03-25-2005, 09:00 AM thanks y'all. all i need to do now is find a job so i can help pay for the xB and tires...
Romanova 03-25-2005, 10:39 AM Man, those are old school! Love those rims!
JDMxB 03-25-2005, 10:53 AM Wow--someone local, that is odd, I really don't know of alot of 626 heads here on Scionlife.
Happy Birthday, and hopefully i'll see you driving around!
Satmax 03-25-2005, 11:14 AM 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.
DTurnbull 03-25-2005, 01:56 PM 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!
Black_RSX 03-25-2005, 02:24 PM My rims are Nakayama RSX 5's, they are made very well... (just a little heavy though).
bBsactoguy 03-25-2005, 06:19 PM 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
DTurnbull 03-25-2005, 10:14 PM Looks like you may be right - here's a set for sale: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1291120
fsr20det 03-26-2005, 04:12 AM 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.
DTurnbull 03-26-2005, 04:11 PM ^ I'm not sure either, but know that Nakayama's other brand is RSS - :ponder: Hmm, similar to SSR?
bB626 04-07-2005, 08:10 AM UPDATE! as you can see the pics above, my brother finally got the last piece of the rims...

so now i have to save up my money so i can get new tires to snap it on my xB. (note: the new tires on the floor are my brother's drifting tires...)
hahajoey 04-07-2005, 06:53 PM grab some falken ziex 512...
they're dirt cheap and they're good quality.
B2FiNiTY 04-07-2005, 07:36 PM Nice SSRs. Are you missing the cap?
bB626 04-07-2005, 08:41 PM grab some falken ziex 512...
they're dirt cheap and they're good quality.
thanks, i may have to look into that.
Nice SSRs. Are you missing the cap?
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?
bB626 04-10-2005, 10:22 AM 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...
