NEW RELEASE - SSR WHEELS - PROFESSOR SP3

SSR Wheels has added their newest release to the 2010 wheel line up...
SSR Professor SP3, 3-piece wheel!! With Tokyo Auto Salon right around the corner, there will be plenty of new demonstrations of this beautiful wheel to come.

SSR Wheels USA has informed us that the first batch will be stateside by Mid-February.

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

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

Nice!!!

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

TipsZ · 12-10-2009, 02:59 PM

Weight on the 20" ?

Caravanshaka · 12-10-2009, 03:22 PM

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

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

LiquidZ · 12-10-2009, 04:22 PM

Those are really good looking wheels!

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

gladeslvrcoq · 12-10-2009, 06:50 PM

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.
