The Volk Racing Monster features 3 piece forged construction with a full face design and with covered lug hole area. Pictured are the Volk Racing Monster on a JZA80 Toyota Supra.
The SSR Integral S1 are JDM Wheels that I probably have never seen stateside. Not as popular as its 5 spoke SSR Integral A2 brother, the SSR Integral S1 features a one piece mesh design with covered lug nuts. The SSR Integral S1 also features the SSF Semi Solid Forging process like its older SSR Type X brother. Pictured is the SSR Integral S1 mounted on a S14 Nissan Silvia and an R34 Nissan Skyline.
RS Elbe produced a nice line of JDM Wheels in the 90’s. With classic mesh designs, a star design and an AMG Dish inspired design they covered the popular designs of the period. The Elbe Racing Mesh Open had open lug nuts and a stepped lip, and came in 15″-17″ sizing. The Elbe Racing Mesh had the faux centerlock look and only in 17″. The Elbe Racing Spoke II had a 5 spoke design similar to the likes of the Work Equip 05, Impul R5 and many others. Lastly the Elbe River Racing Dish had the AMG Dish inspired design shared with Starform, Work, SSR and many other early VIP inspirations. Pictured are the Elbe River Racing Dish on a Toyota Celsior, or Japanese Version Lexus LS400..

The BBS LM are one of the most coveted JDM Wheels of all time. What people don’t realize are that although BBS is a german company, the BBS LM are actually made in Japan. The BBS LM feature 2 piece construction with a forged aluminum face and barrel fastened by titanium hardware. Pictured are the BBS LM on a BMW Z3M Roadster E36/7.
