These are my choice (I wish I could find some). SSR was bought out by Tanabe a few years ago. These wheels are discontinued. Tanabe/SSR no longer makes a tight mesh like this. I called Tanabe a few days ago.

The guy I spoke with said that Tanabe would consider re-introducing these wheels if there was a big enough demand. I told him that the demand is there, I want them and tons of corolla guys and other old schoolers want them. He said that its good that I called so that he knows my interest. He suggested I have others call and express their interest if there is any. He said that if they get enough phone calls/emails, they might do another run of these wheels.
So if anyone is interested, please let them know!

Yeah, SSR's are my favorite. It's too bad they discontinued all of the sweet wheels. now their wheels just look like everyone elses. Those Brightspeeds are for sale if anyones interested. They are not mine, I just saw them for sale on another forum. They are only 14 inchers though. They are asking $1200

Epsilons FTW!
My favorite along with the Equips.
Epsilons have the best look for the old school look of our cars, in my opinion.
Here's one of 2 sets of Epsilons that I have, Gold and Black centers.

Those Equips are hotness! I used to have a set of Ewings for my car. They were gold and in perfect shape. Unfortunately, they were 5x112 and i couldnt find ANYONE to redrill them to 5x114 for me. I didnt want to get rid of them, but I was made an offer I couldnt refuse.

I'd love a set of 5x114.3 equips or ewings...
Anything old school and low offset, I just love the "non tucked" look.
The thing about reintroducing those SSR wheels is that they would be MAD expensive, or at least I'd imagine so.
