SSR bankrupt
This may just be a bad rumor but it is being reported that SSR is bankrupt and will not continue to make wheels.
Here is a link to a thread on corner-carvers.

EX Pres of DFW Drunks
form Gary@tirerack off another board...
Just got some info on this.
SSR did file for protection from their creditors last Thursday. The company is currently closed for additional business. There will be a period of company restructuring, we expect to learn the details of these actions within the next month or so.
Have no further info/speculation. Also I've been told that customers can be assured that The Tire Rack will honor all product warranty claims.

To my basic understanding with our contacts in Japan. lol. We are a Work Wheel importer. Tirerack has purchased the rights to the SSF technology. Aside from that I know not much more. I too have read in papers from Japan online that the company has bankrupt, whether that means a reorg or completely out I do not know nor want to speculate.
It's unfortunate if that is what happens. The wheels available from SSR in Japan are just beautiful. It's too bad that they weren't readily available here.
Another rumor I've been told is that the USA tirerack SP1 is not the same as the Japanese one. Anyone care to specify what this difference might be. Different origin of manf, different process???

speedking and RETed, yes it does sound like total BS, but i have a good friend that's affiliated w/ tire rack and purchased their rims countless times, and told me that this is true.
but i do believe this is only considering the USA branch..... not Japan

Sorry for the knee-jerk reaction, but I had to just confirm it myself.
NO, Tire Rack does NOT own any part of SSR Japan, period.
When I got word back, it's worse than mentioned in here.
What was told to me was that SSR Japan just folded.
No warning, nothing.
There is no talk about restarting the company at all.
I dunno where the restructering part came from, but from what I've been told, SSR Japan is gone.
