SSR Speed Star MK-II - Four-Spoke Deep-Dish Cast Alloy Celebrating Vintage Japanese GT Circuit Heritage

Classic Two-Piece Deep-Dish Architecture in 14 to 17 Inch with Period-Correct Red Disc and Chrome Rim

SSR Speed Star MK-II is a cast alloy wheel reproducing the four-spoke deep-dish face geometry that defined the SSR Speed Star nameplate during its original production era - a period when Japanese GT racing and circuit time attack culture demanded the maximum dish depth achievable within the available manufacturing technology. The four-spoke disc creates four large, unobstructed window areas that allowed maximum radiative airflow to the drum and disc brakes of the era while presenting a visually open, aggressive face character. Available in 14 to 17 inch diameters across period-correct widths, in Red Disc with Chrome Rim two-tone specification.

SSR Speed Star MK-II Design & Engineering: Four-Spoke Deep-Dish and Two-Piece Period Construction

The MK-II face reproduces the original four-spoke architecture with hub-to-rim geometry calibrated to the deep-dish proportions of the era: the spoke disc sits substantially behind the outer rim lip, so the chrome rim ring stands proud of the face by several centimetres visible from the front. This deep-dish geometry was an aesthetic and functional response to the negative-offset requirements of wider-track racing setups where the mounting face needed to sit far inside the rim circumference. The Red Disc finish - a solid-red coating applied to all four spoke faces and the hub surface - creates the two-tone contrast with the chrome rim ring that was the definitive MK-II colourway during the wheel's circuit career. Cast aluminum production maintains authenticity to the original manufacturing method while delivering adequate structural compliance for road registration in the jurisdictions applicable to the target vehicle class.

SSR Speed Star MK-II Technical Specifications

Construction: Cast alloy. Diameter: 14 to 17 inch. Width: 5.5 to 8 inch. Four-spoke disc. Standard JIS bolt patterns for Japanese domestic market vehicles. Part of the SSR Speed Star heritage reproduction series.

SSR Speed Star MK-II Available Finishes

The MK-II is offered in Red Disc with Chrome Rim - the two-tone period colourway that defined the Speed Star nameplate's visual identity throughout its Japanese circuit racing history. The Red Disc finish is applied to all spoke and hub surfaces; the Chrome Rim finish is applied to the outer barrel and rim lip. This combination reproduces the specific contrast ratio of the original production specification: the warm chrome tone against the saturated red creates a colourway associated with the race-prepped Zokusha, Shakotan, and time attack build culture of the era. Period-correct decal placement is documented in the SSR heritage specification sheet included with each wheel.

SSR Speed Star MK-II Vehicle Fitment: Datsun 240Z, Toyota AE86 Corolla Levin, Nissan Fairlady Z S30, Mazda RX-7 SA22C, Honda CR-X SiR

The 14-17 inch diameter range and JIS bolt patterns of the MK-II are calibrated for classic Japanese domestic market sport compacts and coupes: Datsun 240Z and 260Z, Toyota AE86 Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno, Nissan Fairlady Z S30 and Z31, Mazda RX-7 SA22C and FB, and Honda CR-X SiR. The deep-dish geometry is appropriate for negative-offset setups on platforms that have undergone period-correct suspension width adjustments and spat or over-fender fitment. Confirm bolt pattern variant and offset requirement before ordering.

Any Vehicle, Any Specification

The Speed Star MK-II can be ordered for any vehicle and any specification - not just the models listed above. Provide your make, model, year, and desired diameter and offset for a confirmed heritage specification and delivery timeline.
