Back in early 1970s Japan, SSR came to prominence when they developed the first three-piece alloy wheel. This absolutely revolutionized the industry and things have never been the same since. With a deep connection to motorsports SSR has a true understanding of what it takes to make a high performance wheel. Since 1991 they have been using a highly advanced technology take from the aviation industry called Semi-Solid Forging (SSF) to make wheels that are both incredibly light and incredibly strong. They are the only aftermarket wheel manufacturer in the world to use SSF technology in the production of aluminum wheels. With an American headquarters in Torrence, CA they have great global distribution, and their wheels are continuing to help people when championships in all forms of motorsports including touring car and drifting.

DID YOU KNOW?
The term "three piece wheels" is often thrown around when the topic of racing comes up, but most people do not have a real understanding of what it means. A three piece wheel is a truly innovative design that utilizes an inner wheel structure, an outer wheel structure, and wheel face to tie them both together. The advantage of this design is that it allows wider rim widths and greater strength all in a lightweight package. SSR developed the first three piece wheels in 1971 which revolutionized the industry. They continue to push the envelope using Semi Solid Forging technology and only the best materials to produce some of the highest-quality racing wheels in the world. If you want to get the best wheels from true performance wheel experts, look no further than SSR.
