Salivating Over SSR Starsharks

By Speedhunters

Car Culture At Large

Here’s another AE86 for everyone to enjoy; this one is owned by another fellow 86 owner on Club4AG. The face has been converted to kouki (late model, or if you want to be proper, “after minor change”) Levin style, again using kouki foglights without the glass grill. This time the AE86 has a kouki Levin bumper with a zenki Levin lower lip added on to it. The rear bumper is from a zenki AE86.

However, the thing that I think we should all point our attention towards is that AWESOME set of 14×8 and 14×9 SSR Starshark wheels on the car!!! The rare Starsharks are some of my favorite wheels in the history of Japanese wheels. Sadly, SSR just doesn’t make them like they used to. I have owned 13 and 14 inch sets of these wheels before, but none of them were as nicely sized as this set! I’m drooling. These wheels, combined with outstanding stance, really make this AE86 Levin into an outstanding looking car. Gorgeous.

Photos like this make me want to sell all my camera stuff and spend all the proceeds on buying all the old school Japanese wheels I want. What do you guys think? Sounds like a great plan to me! I won’t be creating any more photos, but at least I’d have a few more sets of awesome fat lip wheels to hug!

Big respect to the 86ers in the Pacific Northwest!

I’ve never been a big fan of japanese imports. However, when I see one driving around in a condition such as this my attention does stay focused. I enjoy the 14″ deep dish wheel sets. It’s much better then all these teeny-boppers trying to lift their Hondas to get 20′s under them.

I am happy to see the skateboard look of the early 90′s making a come back. Makes me want my slammed 1990 Mazda B2000 truck with 15×8 reversed alloys back from my teen days.
