Here is one example. Below is the Devil Japan IF wheel made by SSR as seen by the barrel sticker. Though there is no stamping to say these are made by SSR, the sizing sticker on the barrel is enough proof.
Another example is the Hayashi Techno Phantom. This has a unique barrel sticker, one that shows some sort of relationship between the Hayashi and Speed Star brands. "we are wheel family"
Racing Hart is another company that has had their wheels made by SSR but those wheels were stamped to prove it. With the older generation of wheels (pre-1980) it is a lot harder to determine who made the wheel if there is no stamp because the stickers seem to whither away quite easily. As you can see on these Racing Hart/Takechi Project Spinner Mesh they are stamped with both Speed Star and Racing Hart, but just by looking at the front of the wheel you would think the manufacturer was Racing Hart.
Another set of wheels that I own seem to be made by SSR as well, but for a not-so-popular company called Maxim Japan. The wheels are stamped as Maxim Japan but also have the SSR barrel stickers.
I'm sure there are many more wheels that SSR have manufactured for other companies, and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for them.
Hi! just saw your post.
ReplyDeleteSSR made 3piece barrels for many companies!
Another example is Focus Racing wheels. Enkei made the centres while SSR made the barrels.
On another note, Hayashi made many wheels for a few companies too, especially monoblock wheels.
One example is the Devil Japan Shadow monoblock wheels, if u look at the lips, they resemble the Technos and Yayois that Hayashi made. Thats because Hayashi made them too!
Cheers,
