Stevexc Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I have a pair of SSR reverse mesh (type A) and I found another pair of reverse mesh (type B ) what is the difference in lip size? ... does 'type A' have a bigger lip? .. or does 'type A' have a thicker disk? I have 15x6.5 +8 type A's .. and I found 15x7 +13 type B's .. but I don't want the rear rims to have smaller lips A type, B type C type ect ect for most wheels represents the offset. So even having the +13 offset the 15x7s will have more dish (bigger lips) wont be by a great deal but going by the offsets you have will have about 5mm more dish. Quote Link to comment
Stevexc Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Few wheels are arrived over the last few days. I really need a bigger garage! hahaah Started these before rain cut my day short!

MicroMachinery Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I've seen orange or a very light mint green look very good. I think any pastel would look pretty sick, as well. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Spent three hours in polishing my wheels. Before: After: I thought they were shiny after I washed them. Lots of elbow grease. Quote Link to comment
Stevexc Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I've seen orange or a very light mint green look very good. I think any pastel would look pretty sick, as well. Yeah I like the original orange they came out in, but don't have any of that colour mixed up unfortunately. Trying to keep them an original colour, so basically have silver, red and orange to pick from. Quote Link to comment

Stevexc Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Buying up all the pairs. How many "full sets" do you have? Lol Love the Riversides! haha yeah most sellers in Japan tend to split sets up and sell as pairs, so I have lots of pairs that I need matching pairs for! umm full sets I have.... need to think now haha Techno Phantoms Superstar racing 3's Casablanca Mesh Volk Mesh (early Style) SSR Bang Vec IIs Star Formulas (have a pair here now and another set a week or so away) Think thats it for sets, rest are all pairs, but have sets for most at some point, just ended up selling some of the smaller pairs off. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stevexc Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Small fortune tied up here. Are you just a collector? Haha yeah I have invested a bit of money into them. Umm yeah pretty much, just kind of a hobby restoring them I guess. Some I do end up selling but most the rare ones are just for my collection. 1 Quote Link to comment
