Rare Finds

While hunting for Kyusha Shoe paraphernalia, I recently stumbled upon something I never imagined existed. The first image found was this look at a Volk Racing Centerlock.

A couple of years ago while searching through craigslist for the usual tags I came across an ad marked something along the lines of “JDM Wheel Pair”. Thinking that I’d had some luck flipping pairs of wheels in the past I clicked that ad and looked a bit a further […]

Wheel Mystery Solved

For years, I was sure that I would only need one set of old school Japanese wheels to stand out from the crowd and be satisfied with the period-correct look of my car. After purchasing my first set of kyusha wheels, SSR MK-3’s, I almost immediately knew I wanted another […]

お久しぶりです。 I should be apologetic, after all, I’m the guy who more than a year ago now wanted your emails… but I’m only one guy, and you all easily overwhelmed me. If you submitted content, and I didn’t respond, be sure that I checked things out and flagged your contributions […]

Some Canadian guy put the coolest wheels ever manufactured for a Toyota on his FRS, and it makes me extremely horny. Tom’s is making a modern Igeta for the ZN6, but it looks pretty lame with modern positive offset. WRONG CHOICE Tachi Oiwa Motorsports!

Check out this reader submitted photo of Volk C1’s…. complete with aero rings and centers. I’ll admit, this is the first time I’ve seen a fully assembled C1… and it has rocked my world. If the Millennium Falcon needed wheels, you know they’d look like this. The same reader also […]

I guess it’s just the way things spread, but ironically now that I’m distancing myself from the kyusha scene, I’m getting a lot of emails and comments about wheels. Most people are looking to show me SSR MKII’s and Advan A3A’s, but occasionally some of them present me with something […]
