SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
What is the best way to bolt an ex-c face back into the barrel? Its super tight and not about to take a hammer to it...Should I just put al the bolts back in and slowly tighten in a cross pattern?

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
I need help with this also. Getting my spinner mesh refinished and was wondering how I'm supposed to bolt the face back to the barrel.

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
There is no tire...I ended up sticking the face in the freezer for a couple of hours. I was able to get it bolted down but 3-4 of the tabs on the barrel got bent and are not sitting right. I think I may take it apart again and grind/machine off some material on each tab. I know its supposed to be tight but its to the point its bending the tabs.

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
I put the faces in a deep/chest freezer, and leave the barrels in the sun. You should be able to push the faces into the barrel, not using the bolts to tighten it down at all (and putting unnecessary strain on everything). Once it all warms up to the same temp, the face will be properly stuck in place again, without the bolts.
Please try again before grinding those tabs down.. I really don't think it is necessary.

RDS,
Thanks! Im gonna try to get the face off and re-try it. I'm basically doing a face swap so the face isnt the one that was in there originally. Could be why its so tight...??

Loving the dark red on the Type-C's above. Going to do the full decal set, or just stick with those? Does get a bit busy with them all, but i've always liked it for completeness-sake..
Ignoring the lack of fasteners (lol), they look great...! very clean.
You should be able to polish up the acrylic centre rings to a shine easily. Would finish them off nicely.
haha.. damn kids eh.
Worst case you'd be able to buy the whole valve+cap from SSR, for likely very little money. The valve seals may need replacing by now anyway!
Edit. Random recent SSR joy...
Had these out together - The ~1987 15" assortment.
Two types of 4x100 Mesh cap. Late 60mm chrome, and regular 65mm black...
World of 4x100 Reverse Mesh..
SSR Reynad race wheel, 13x14.7 -61? The oversquare goodness...

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
Will be installing the fasteners shortly. I'd hate to install them like that . Any idea on torque specs? Also what would you recommend to polish the acrylic centre rings?

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
Poor diet and lack of exercise? I think you have me mistaken with someone who doesn't actually do anything with their physical well-being. I lift weights 5-6 times a week, along with 35 minutes of cardio every morning. I just finished a 6 week program, helping out a local high school create a robot for competition. I am currently going through the process of building my second house and shop. I also have a 1951 Ford F-5 that I'm learning traditional methods of metal fabrication and body work on. And, to top it off, I manage to maintain several relationships both through the internet and in person.
That's all before I have to deal with your mindless, pathetic, dribble on here.
That being said, you are two different people. The physical person, and the one who constantly berates others and annoys via the internet. I actually like the physical person. I could do without the other.

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
Trying out the new SSR GTV02 in flat black. On my Integra 16x7 +42
Been thinking of selling the spoon calipers and switching to a TL type S brembo Package on the Integra. I also own a 04 TL 6 speed (same brakes, knuckes, axles, trans as a type s). They clear with a 10 mm spacer but I was more worried about the radial clearance of the caliper to the wheel. Its a clear which is GREAT, and I also run a 15mm spacer on my integra which is even better. Looks like I'll be switching soon to the brembos soon.

Nice GTV02's!
I've been considering the GTV01 for my integra.
Anyone rocking a set of these yet?
Be sure to post a pic once you get tires on those!!!

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
Were too original, neat, and complete not to. Should scrub up nicely.
As for the polish; the material is soft, so it is simple and quick even with a very fine polish on a cloth. Just give it a go, you'll be surprised.

Re: SSR WHEEL PIC THREAD
I'm fairly new to this forum, so hopefully this is the right place to put these.
Not the rarest rims, but farely rare in this sizing:
SSR EX-C Fins
17x7 +38, 4x114
Complete with everything except magnetic keys (if anyone has key#335 please let me know!)
This is the same exact set that kokuryu had for sale about a year ago.
