Super Star wheels quite nice

I'm kinda surprised these haven't caught on over here... then again I'm kinda not surprised considering their price, and the fact that the majority of import car folks in the US are cheapskates. If you guys ever look on their web site ([url]http://www.superstar-wheel.com/[/url]), take note of how many different options you have when ordering these things new...beyond your choice of something as rudimentary as rivet/bolt colors, you can choose reverse or regular rim halves, and also a curled or flanged lip, etc. It's amazing. And there's even way more info and pictures (and fitments like the super deeps) featured in their print catalogs, which btw are awesome cuz they have large pictures of hundreds of cars with all their wheels with fitment listed, in addition to extra info on what was done to the cars to get them to look the way they do in the pics (i.e. lowering, cambering, fender processing, etc.). This is a company that is truly ahead of the wheel game imo. The quality and design of their wheels is just mind-blowing, too... I'd personally consider them one of the top 3 wheel manufs from Japan. Price is high, but you definitely get what you pay for... this might also be why you only really see their wheels on just a few of the higher echelon cars in Japan. My main gripe is how ironic it is that for a while Konig wheels used to be the official US distributor for Super Star wheels! Just checked their web site recently though, and it looks like with the last change to the site, they no longer mention anything about SSW, so that might be a good sign.. since they never did actively push the wheels even when they had distributorship.
Hmmm question is... would people in the US even be willing to pay more for wheels like these?

yes the people who are willing to save up for it.  :P i would but i want some wheels already haha. although your sc wheels are sick. its funny u mention SSW because i was looking at the waffe & hussar at a shop in SF.

SSW is singapore's isn't it?n factory in thailand rite? that's what i read from one of the magazines last time ???
btw i only like a few of their designs, the famous orden n waffe design..ehhehe ;D

I love them, i have wanted a set of Ordens for the longest time. How do you get your hands on a SSW catalog? Also oneton what are your top three wheel manufacturers, you always say top three and I always wonder what three you think are the best.

D. 

i have the catalog too and i know what you mean....it even shows side view of actual disk in actual scale

Didn't want to start a new thread... but I am inspired to get the car off jack stands now:

EDIT: Don't mind the smegma on the rear qtr... just residual hot glue from sticking foam blocks to the side of the car. It sorta really detracts from everything right now though...

thats HOT! Come on, take it off the jackstands (has it really been up there since you last posted pics of it rolling?) and get some better pics! 

Specs?

same sentiments, same question!

damm oneton you gotta get that car rollin... :o

fuck yes! love thatfitment  :coolsmiley:

HAHA..... You already know my thoughts on the Leon's

nice wheels..
i never liked euroline sl's that much..
but these i do like..

i think sl's are an alright looking wheel.. but these are a lot better
even though they're simular in design..
whats the price diff anyways?
is it more than rezax?

wow, that looks good, can't wait to see it on the ground after a bath!!!

hell yeah what he said, god damn those are some sick wheels! :smitten:

D. 

Damn, Van! **RING,RING** HEHEHE :D

wow, that car brought Mr. Morning Wood back

I'm not busting a boner here at work, but damn hot car! what are the specs on those wheels!?!?!

damn that wheel fitment is nice, are those 18's?

19's. :) 

19x10", +19mm with 245/35-19 f/19x11", +6mm with 275/30-19 r. Going to prob eventually go with 235/255 tires for a tad more clearance all around. The rears as they are right now are pretty much almost perfect (rim clears fender by like barely a piece of paper thickness), but the tires are wide enough that they rub the rear part of the fender arch. The fronts are actually spaced out with a 10mm spacer, but that's only needed cuz my fronts are cambered more than a G50's usually would be...The fenders are slightly pulled front and rear (just enough to make the inner-most bevel of the fenderlip almost vertical, so it's imperceptible to those not familiar with G50 fenders). I'm kinda really digging the departure from a polished, flat lip tho... this definitely looks more industrial

ok, I take back my previous coment, this is the hottest wheel fitment I've seen in quite a while. AMAZING.

Now thats a stance. Now only if they had some real wheels in the US to give a stance like that. :P

This setup is actually a tad more conservative than the most aggressive set of wheels I had run on the car, which were viplife's gliforts... this pic is from about 1.5 years ago, literally right before the car went up on jackstands... notice it hasn't moved from that spot in the new pics 
:(

these might be more conservative, but they look nicer. those^^ stick out too far and make the car look old because they are an older style vip wheel. the super starts really make the car look nice. i tink they compliment the stying very well. money well spent.

^^^
Well said, the Ordens are very classy indeed.

Im definitely diggin the new shoes get that thing on the ground were getting anxious. :knuppel2:

Agreed, the Gliforts for this car were a case of a little too much... although I still got them to tuck under the fender instead of sticking out like an eyesore... they were definitely just a little much. Oh well... definitely gonna get the Q on the road again as it will be time to move shop soon...

Can we expect the Q to be resurrected?

dude hurry up and get that Q off the jacks. haha keep me updated on the new location. ahem. move closer to union city. :P

It's not a question of if anymore.. but when. As soon as this one project car is outta my hair, it's all about the Q again. Gonna just finish putting the air susp all together again too so it can roll to new shop vs. being towed to new shop... which might actually be a little further up north (semi-closer to union city)...

Sell me those wheels is you decide not too! :)

Finally signed up here, great setup there. It is great to see something different in the states. 

I am also surprised they haven't blown up big here as well. I believe a company in burlingame is supposedly importing their LeonHardiritt line.

Their barrels have the same press and stamping as most of the Riverside wheels. I assume since most of these top wheel companies are in Osaka they use the same barrel hoop makers.

SSW and Super Star Wheels are two totally different companies. SSW is a Singapore-based company with an operation in Thailand. In fact I think SSW stands for Singapore Stamford Wheels. They sell cheap knock-offs, no difference from Konig or Lenso. 

Super Star Wheels is as Van puts it, is the top echeleon of wheels company that comes out of Japan...

 :police: back on duty ;)

I wouldnt expect less from one of the pioneers of this website. Great choice
