i have a set of wheels of car that were told to be Buddy Club P1 wheels, i wasnt recently advised that they werent Buddy CLub wheels, that they may be SSR wheels. i notice on the inside of the wheels it has some lettering. SSH and also says "Speedy Star" Can anyone help me determine if these are true SSR wheels ?

heres a pic of them



any help would be appreciated

 

Check the inside of the wheel for a chrome-looking sticker. If it says Speed Star Co.,LTD. on it, then they're SSR's. To me, they look like SSR Type-C / Competitions with some dumb Honda caps in the middle.

SSR Type-C badge:

EDIT: Here's a thread about the Type-C / Competitions.

yeah, they do say Speed Star and made in Japan on the inside of the wheel. ill look for the decal on the inside of the wheel just to verify.

thanks for the info.

 

great info

i think you are seeing the letters 'SSF' not ssh.

if it says 'speed star' then you sir, have some great wheels

 

it doesnt have any decal on the inside of the wheel. it says on the "SSP SSH Racing Power Speedy Star"

that sucks, i did some searching online and cant find out what brand these would be. ive checked nippon, speedy star. cant find them anywhere. i was really hoping they would be SSR's

 

does it say speedmaster or sm-046 anywhere? just taking a wild guess, here.

i know the sm-046 had the holes in between the lugs and yours dont but i dunno.

the only speedystar wheels i found was based in Australia

they are pretty close, kinda scary. at least they seem to be good wheels. only weigh 11lbs.

 

thanks for the help guys. i was going to trade these wheels but i wanted to make sure i wasnt ripping anyone off. i cant stand people like that.

thanks again

 

Look at it this way, they can't be any less durable than the "real" SSRs, I bent 3 sets of Type-Cs at the track without any curb hopping, just from the force that an R-Compound exerts. Good thing the tire rack has great customer service.
