CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND DETAILS:

SSF Technology
In 1991, SSR learned of the advanced technology known as Semi-Solid Forging (SSF). This technology was being used by the aircraft industry to manufacture parts that required low weight and reliability. SSR then acquired a license to use SSF technology from Alumax Laboratories. They conducted research and development for one year and created their patented wheel manufacturing plant in Nara, Japan. By combining the best features of casting and forging, SSR implemented them in the manufacturing process of SSF. Further research led scientists to develop a process whereby mixing alloys during the solidification process changed the original microstructure of the alloy from a branch-like structure to a globule granular structure. Alumax then perfected the aluminum stirring process, Magneto-Hydro Dynamics (MHD), and created the basis of SSF technology which results in a pure cylindrical alloy billet free of non-metals, gasses, oxides and other impurities. This MHD billet, when heated to a specific temperature, holds a semi-solid form. The billet is then pressed into a mold at a high rate keeping the preferred globule granular microstructure as the new shape is formed. The end product is very dense and strong. SSR is the only wheel manufacturer in the world to produce SSF aluminum wheels. SSR continues to research ways to further develop SSF, creating reliable, durable, and lightweight wheels.

HTM (Heat Treatment Manufacture)
After the wheels go through a spinning process during manufacturing they are heat treated for a second time. This application of heat increases the strength of the wheel. As a result the wheels are lighter and stronger making them ideal for hard tuned race cars and heavier vehicles.

3 Piece
SSR incorporates the latest technologies in the design and manufacturing of its lightweight 3 piece wheels. The three piece wheel is made up of an outer rim, inner rim, and center disc which allows SSR to offer wide range of offsets and ensures proper fitment specific to your vehicle. The inner rim of the wheel is heat treated for strength, using the HTM (Heat Treatment Manufacture) process which allows for the use of a thinner material to save weight. With weight and high strength in mind, each section of the wheel is engineered using separate grades and thickness of aluminum according to its purpose. SSR's racing heritage and manufacturing innovations have allowed the creation of a 3 piece wheel that is both super lightweight and high in strength.

COLORS AVAILABLE:
- SILVER
- FLAT BLACK
- SUPER BLACK COAT

pm me price please :xmastup:

The only sad thing about these wheels is that they don't make them in 17" for us Honda drivers or else I'd buy a set.

Bump for a great vendor and a great wheel...good luck with the sale :tup:

-Hunter

Nice!!!

Looks racy with the inner spokes and yet VIP or classy with the outer bolts/rivets on the lip side...

Weight on the 20" ?

damn, that white sedan is in dire need of a drop!

lol it looks "hella stupid" :icon14:

hella flush hahahah

i love how people enjoy making their cars look like a school of fatasses sat in it and warped/broke the axles XD

not feelin' the rivets on this design, but overall it's not bad :tup:

besides, i'm just happy to see the sunline 370Z again :D

Those are really good looking wheels!

We'll be posting additional information on the weight and msrp's once received from SSR Wheels USA.

Holy...Sweet wheels!! I've always loved SSR wheels! :tup:

Super clean choice of colors! Looks like it comes in a lot of nice offsets as well.

They look really good but not feeling the tires sizes on that Z. Way to small/stretched.

Is the Sunline Z34 on 19's or 20's? Brilliant rims by the way, really caught my eye.

I want to see those on a black 370, in 18's :tup:

Looking at it, I believe SunLine is using a 19x10.0/19x11.0 setup (but I could be wrong).

can always use different tire settings lol

wow im really digging these wheels. i wonder if ill be able to talk the GF into getting some hahaha

i think i need to trade my jeep in for a 370 now

Wheels are sexy...too many damn choices in wheels now!

These look really nice but boy is that sedan UGLY. Beemer is cool though.

I want wheels, but honey the kids need clothes....I want turbo's....honey the kids have to go to College....I want Headers but honey I need a breast job.....ok, headers can wait!!!!:icon17:

Screw it, kids clothes can wait too, can you pm me a price for 19's please, ideally in all black? Spacers or no spacers? Thank you

^^^^ lol

not sure 18s wud clear the sport brakes NOR that deepdish..

PM 18s pls

We'll be posting the for sale thread shortly :)

Those are some pretty sick lookin' wheels! :yum:

What are the specs on those wheels pictured on the red Z?

19's pm please!

We have tried to source this from SunLine Racing's Blog, as well as SSR Wheels USA. As of right now, we aren't able to get any exact spec's, but our best guess is they are using a 20x10.0 in the front and a 20x11.0 in the rear.

Are you looking for 19x9.5/19x10.5?

ok, thanks!

Could you please PM me some rough prices for those wheel sizes mentioned. :tup: Thank you

I'd love to see those on a white Z in both gunmetal and gold. Maybe some pics will surface from Tokyo Auto Salon next month.

You think those are 20's? I would have guessed 19's but I know some wheels with a double lip and bolts can be deceiving since they make the spokes look shorter. Aside from the Advan Sienna Generation II's I had on my Supra I've been a RAYS/Volk guy but I'm going to have to throw these on my list for when I can afford wheels :bowdown: they look hot.

Wheel weights on that chart would be nice too. Post them if you get more info.

what offsets are available on 19x9.5 and 19x.10x5? and prices

that Z looks amazing :eek2:, im sold on those wheels.
but please check again for the specs, they definitely look 19".

I love these wheels!!!

do they come in bronze or gold?

I am also curious on this as well.

That INGs rear wing looks pretty good from that 3/4 rear angle. IMHO the silver looks better on this red Z than the gold...just my .02.

Great find! Thanks for the pic :tiphat:

-Hunter

Got it off of a japan blog site! I love this car! Best lookin Z to date if you ask me, and that wing looks like it is functional and not just for looks! Ings is very very expensive! I think if the wing was painted red it might or might not look nice! But im sure it gets some nice down force on a windy day :)

You can get Star Bright Silver, Titan Silver, Gold, Gloss Black, White, Gunmetalic, Bronze, and 9 other differenct colors upon request.
