TireRack sells them but they are the high offset versions.

PSI240SX · 03-28-2005, 07:50 PM

Dousan_PG · 03-28-2005, 08:04 PM

KOUKI KA-T · 03-28-2005, 08:13 PM

In a manner of speaking, I believe they were bought out by Enkei.

We'll see whether Enkei continues to have them produce the same products or not. I hope so, or by the time I can actually afford SP1s there won't be any to buy.

roo · 03-29-2005, 02:47 PM

not sure if they were bought out but after they went bankrupt, we were unable to order anything from them in Japan. Speed Star is still around but the SSR division is what's gone....for now at least.

The best alternative I can think of to SSR is Work but they're not anywhere as cheap =/

Rusker · 03-29-2005, 03:18 PM

I heard that rumor also about being bought out by enkei.

daredevildoug · 03-29-2005, 04:30 PM

i heard that WORK wheels corp is out of business now. filed for bankruptcy or something like that. sucks.

I kind of find this hard to beleive. maybe ard_josh can clue us in on these rumours!! ( hopefully its only rumours and not true)

AutoRnD · 03-30-2005, 12:12 PM

HAHAHA yeah right.. work wheels is sooo damn strong.. its not even funny..
work wheels rays and enkei are probobally the biggest japanese companies out there right now in terms of wheel manufacturing

MikeFD3S · 03-30-2005, 06:30 PM

SSR got bought out, they'll still be around. it wasn't Enkei either. You'd be real surprised if you found out who bought em

who bought them out?

JuJuBee · 03-31-2005, 03:54 PM

heard it was an american company

mr_240sx · 03-31-2005, 03:57 PM

and that american company is?????

boost · 03-31-2005, 08:51 PM

the latest info that luke@tirerack recieved, posted on i-club

As you know, Speed Star Co. Ltd and Speed Star Sales Co. ltd went bankrupt on January 27th this year. The disappearance of their high end technology and the traditional brand maintained for more than thirty years will not be acceptable to the people concerned in the after market as very shocking and unforgettable news of 2005.

We were looking for measures of their reconstruction in some way since January 27th because we had been engaged in the sales of their products in South East Asian countries and had a favorable relationship with them long term.

We, Tanabe Co.,Ltd, have been selected as the exclusive buyer of business rights and assets of the two companies (Speed Star Racing & Speed Star Wheel) as the result of the tender invited by the receiver.

We will need more or less one month to complete the transfer of the assets from the receiver and to restart the production and sales. We will keep you informed each time the details come to be clear.

We will continue to produce SSR products as well as our Tanabe products

m0rex · 03-31-2005, 09:01 PM

Tanabe wtf? I hope they lower the price not quality.

roo · 04-01-2005, 10:15 AM

i don't know about that being legit....Speed Star did not go bankrupt, only their SSR division did. So why would they sell Speed Star and SSR?

undercoverdjay · 04-01-2005, 08:37 PM

whats wrong with buying SSR's at tire rack? I bought a set of SSR GT1's there last year. great wheels and they're lighter than my friend's BBS wheels on his 328is

maybe the shitty offset
lack of selection on sizing
and the fact tirerack homos tell you 'that wont fit'

roo · 04-02-2005, 12:16 PM

their lack of knowlege of the model line or proper sizing doesn't help either...I had so many customers go back and forth with me on the options and sizing....the guys working there were clueless

Var · 04-02-2005, 02:45 PM

anyone that has the nerve to sell 15 inch meshies for 500 dollars a piece deserves to go down.
