The Showpiece on this CR-X are the SSR Lonchamp XR-C Wheels. Ths SSR Longchamp is a very rare and detailed wheel. It shares the Electron magenetec locking mechanism with its SSR EX-C Cousins (SSR EX-C Mesh, Fin, Neo, etc.) which uses a numbered magnetic key to lock the hex cap to the wheel. The SSR Longchamp XR-C also has a trim ring where the spokes meet the wheel to hide the wheel bolts. Specs are 15×6 +38 4×100 – Honda CR-X on SSR Longchamp XR-C/ Suzuka Sangyo Longchamp XR-C
