SSR Type-F Wheels arrived Australia by JDM Concept

Looking for a racing wheel that does it all, from performance to looks.

Latest release SSR Type-F is the flavour.

Imported into Australia by JDM Concept.

Comes in a few great finishes such as Flat Black , Star Bright Silver & Touring Gold.

Fitments available for all japanese imports.

Why choose SSR not other brands?

SSR uses advanced technology known as Semi-Solid Forging (SSF). This technology was being used by the aircraft industry to manufacture parts that required low weight and reliability. SSR then acquired a license to use SSF technology from Alumax Laboratories. They conducted research and development for one year and created their patented wheel manufacturing plant in Nara, Japan. By combining the best features of casting and forging, SSR implemented them in the manufacturing process of SSF. Further research led scientists to develop a process whereby mixing alloys during the solidification process changed the original microstructure of the alloy from a branch-like structure to a globule granular structure. Alumax then perfected the aluminum stirring process, Magneto-Hydro Dynamics (MHD), and created the basis of SSF technology which results in a pure cylindrical alloy billet free of non-metals, gasses, oxides and other impurities. This MHD billet, when heated to a specific temperature, holds a semi-solid form. The billet is then pressed into a mold at a high rate keeping the preferred globule granular microstructure as the new shape is formed. The end product is very dense and strong. SSR is the only wheel manufacturer in the world to produce SSF aluminum wheels. SSR continues to research ways to further develop SSF, creating reliable, durable, and lightweight wheels.

Well, at the end of the day... it's up to you to decide which wheels your vehicle is getting.

Obviously, if you have a low budget on upgrading. Forget about SSR, they are way over your league. Maybe try Lenso Raiden, Koya Driftek, G.Max Drift, or even PDW Wheels has a great range of styles to choose from.

However, you have to remind yourself that excellent quality = more $$$$.

So don't be too picky if you are low on $$$.... the quality ain't there.

Wanna get some discounts from JDM Concept, let them know you have been referred by this blog.

YOKOHAMA ADVAN NEOVA AD08 - Fastest Street Tyre

Yokohama Tire Corporation has added a new tire to its global flagship ADVAN line, the ultra-high-performance ADVAN Neova® AD08.

The ADVAN Neova AD08 is an updated version of Yokohama's ADVAN Neova AD07, nicknamed "the fastest street tire."

The Neova AD08 truly set the standard for max-grip, full-tread tires.
Extensive testing reveals the Neova AD08's distinct advancements in four key areas: dry grip, wet grip, ride comfort and noise level, taking it to remarkable new heights and maintaining our leadership in the industry. All these areas of improvement are very important to consumers in the ultra-high-performance segment and demonstrate Yokohama's technical achievements and innovations.

Many of the new Neova's improvements, especially the wet and dry gripping, are attributed to a new micro silica compound, HDC (Hyper Density Carbon), which also extends treadwear. Other highlights include specially placed steel sidewall inserts (for improved handling and enhanced cornering), rapid reflex twin ribs that add stability and steering response, an extra-wide unibloc shoulder for continuous rubber-to-road contact during high-speed cornering, adaptive flare blocks for better lateral strength and turning power, and stress control grooves that minimize uneven wear.

This is an ultra-high-performance tire ADVAN enthusiasts are going to love.

Available in 4 sizes for Australian market.

Some Motorsport dealer able to obtain this tyre when requested.

All you need to do is, to ask!

But the price will blow you off......well, this is the price you pay for top quality.
