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!

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.
