heh, SSR Mesh wheels are actually knock offs of an old school BBS mesh wheel (BBS E50.2)

so next time someone talks about "knock off wheels", just remember the japanese started doing it long before the koreans/chinese

Always thought the looked more like BBS Mahle's. Maybe these are just the one piece version.

Awesome looks. I personally like 15"/16" wheels. Had some 16x8 -20 & 16x10 -44 on my last S13. Love the ride on thick tires. Handles like a beast with meaty rubber.

"gee, dorkidori is making a shirt for a style that we all seem to like in this thread. its a small trend run by a select group of people who will really enjoy having old school s-chassis themes going with their cars"

i chose the wording based upon input from members who participate in this thread. i think very few people in this thread knew that "shoubou nagano" was a shop based on some guys name. if you type in "shoubou style" or "nagano style" in google, you get image results much like we have in this thread. so no, im not ripping the guys name off, im using the terms as individual words that describe a style. but im sure that still constitutes to me blatantly ripping off a shop in japan, you know, since we all live there and we all know about all the new trends in JDM land right?

but please continue hating, its always cool to see people jumping all over me because they think im making a fortune from selling t-shirts. <3

dude, keep doing what you're doing.

I think the ride quality is an aspect that is often overlooked.

dropping from 18s to 17s with a thicker tire made a noticeable difference in ride quality on my s13. I'm loving the thick sidewall tires on 15s on my miata now too.

plus it looks cool.

Scope240sx · 12-23-2013, 01:00 PM

definitely going to jump on one of those T shirts!!
maybe tax season will be when i get some dorkidori side skirts

16x8 ±0 205/40

PS. Don't like the the word "small" or "nagano kobou" there on the shirt either

and in place of "small" what do you think it should say?

I looked back thru and saw the shirt.

"wide" or "thick" may be appropriate.

It wasn't Dori who deleted your comment.

curious question, will a 205/60/R15 still sit at the same height on a 15x8 as it would on a 15x6? Im not trying to go for the stretched tire look on my SSR meshies when I get them done. Im looking to square up the tire or add just a little more meat to the setup. Ive never really done fitment or proper tire sizing with 15s before, so this is a new venture (i ran 17s and 18s on my last 240 coupe)

Yes the height will be the same, neither will stretch a 205/60. See below.

25.4mm = 1". A 205 is 49mm under 10". Just about 2" under. So they will be Squeezed and round on the 15x6 and fit Just right on the 15x8. Brand and tire construction comes into play with the look as well. Definitely wanna go with 185 or 195 on the 6" wide wheels

Dori! I'm very excited about those shirts. Definitely getting one. My car has 205/60 on a x8 and it definitely doesn't have stretch. So were onto tire choices? The ssrs must be coming together!
