The SSR MK-IIIS & SSR MK-II R from Speed Star Racing were JDM Wheels based on older wheels from SSR. The SSR MK-IIIS is a design based off the olderSSR MKIII with its bigger spokes and alternating smaller 4 spokes. The updated version of the SSR MKIIIS has a full face on a reverse lip as opposed to the older small face on stepped lip. The SSR MK3 are pictured on a Honda Civic EG Series. The SSR MK-IIR has four rounded spokes also in a reverse lip, as opposed to the older SSR MKII which has four spokes but squared matched with a step lip. The SSR MK2R pictures are on a Nissan Skyline R32. Interestingly, I wonder if The SSR MKI had a modernized Version.
The Colin Star Series are Old School JDM Wheels manufactured by SSR Wheels. The Colin Star Shark Series includes the Colin Star Shark, Colin Star Shark II and the Colin Star Shark Mini. Most Commonly I see Colin Star Sharks on AE86 Toyota Corolla, and Datsun 510, however they are a nice touch on any Old School JDM Ride. The car in the advertisement is an older model JDM Toyota Celica XX, or Toyota Supra in other parts of the world. – Colin Star Shark by SSR WheelsThe Colin Star Shark is a 2 piece wheel which features a double 4 point star design with the front star polished and the rear star in its featured color. The Colin Star Shark II is a 2 piece wheel which features a 10 point star design with squared spokes. The Colin Star Shark Mini is a one piece version of the Star Shark most likely for Older Mini Cooper fitment and possibly other small cars of the period. – Colin Star Shark by SSR Wheels
GAB Sports JDM Wheels are an old school lightweight wheel from the 90’s. The GAB Sports wheels feature 2 piece construction with face welded in to the barrel; which was manufactured by Enkei. I recall the wheels being popular initially with the 240/S13 crowd at first, but then they became quite popular with the Honda Crowd with 4×100 sizing options, which probably spawned the Rota GT3. Sizes start at 15×6.5 up to 16×8, with specific sizing for Toyota SW20 MR2 and Nissan R32 Skyline. – JDM Wheels – GAB Sports 2 Piece Wheels
Work Equip – Work Equip Silhouette – Work Equip Excel – Work Equip Spirit 11 – Work Equip Spirit 33 – Work Equip Spirit 44 (L-R). The Work Equip Series had quite a few variations in the past. Hunters of Old School JDM Wheels have probably seen at least half of the Work Equip wheels in this picture but most likely never knew the actual name of them. Personally I think the Work Equip Spirit 33 is the coolest of the bunch! – Work Equip Series Old School JDM Wheels
SSR Formula Mesh is one of the most popular JDM Wheels of all time. Produced in the 80’s The SSR Formula mesh is a simple 2 piece wheel, with a mesh face bolted with 20 bolts in to a welded barrel with a stepped lip. Speed Star Racing also made the SSR MK I, SSR MK II and SSR MK III wheels as pictured; thier classic JDM wheel line wich introduces the 3 piece wheel. Also pictured is the SSR Star Formula, a 6 spoke race inspired wheel. JDM Wheels – SSR Formula Mesh, SSR Star Formula, SSR MK I, SSR MK II, SSR MK IIII always wondered about the SSR Formula Mesh ith the rounded center portion, and it seems it was the design for Speed Star Racing produced for 16″ models; the smaller sizes get the regular Star shaped center sections. Later all SSR Formula Mesh models got the Star shaped centers up to 18inches. I personally think the 5 lug star centers look the best.

The SSR MKII has a classic 4 spoke sqaured spoke design. The SSR MKIII has a design similar to the MKII, but with smaller spokes between the bigger 4.
