BBS ads from yesteryear...

In 1972, BBS pioneered the development of a three-piece racing wheel, a revolution in motorsport design.Most recently BBS has engineered the Air Inside Technology where hollow chambers are created within the wheel structure to compensate for the small air volume in modern ultra-low-profile tyres, reduce unsprung weight, improve handling dynamics, and increase fuel efficiency without sacrificing strength and rigidity. This innovation earned BBS Kraftfahrzeugtechnik the Automechanika Innovation Award 2006 in the tuning segment.
Undeniable corrolation with European and mainly german scene it has deeper history than many thought.. some classic photos pulled from catalougue and ex ads.











CLASSIC SSR JDM WHEELS AND RETRO ADVERTS...


What can I say about SSR Formula Mesh other than being one of legend JDM Wheels of all time. Produced in the 80’s The SSR was 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 III


The SSR MKI was the original Speed Star Racing wheel with a flat face and no spokes or holes. 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. The SSR Star Formula had a pointh 6 spoke design ith polished front face and painted accents.

The SSR Defi Challenge Fin aka SSR Defi are one of the most Coveted JDM Wheels of all time. The SSR Defi are a directional fin type wheel made by SSR Wheels aka Speedstar Racing. The SSR Defi Challenge Fin features the SSR Electron Lock system made popular on the SSR EX-C Fin, SSR EX-C Mesh the Racing Hart Super Fin and many other JDM Wheels.
