Carlsson 3/6 by OZ RACING, Mercedes R129 Fitment. A study in massiveness

I have said that before, wheels might be round, when it comes to desirability they all fit in a pyramid. That is especially true for Carlsson. That company has been through a lot lately, however in Japan it is still popular as the company made the odd decision to start building wheels in 5x114.3 PCD …

BBS RS317, 4-Dimensional Fitment.

Combining the limitless possibility of the best wheel shop of Japan, the most expensive part seller of said country and an uncanny connection. I have said it many times but having a guy as competent as Komatsu-san by your side and you start losing your footing, your sense of reality. How come a wheel shop …

BBS RS070 RS071, Golden Twins

Let's just put it out there : there is something special about solid gold wheels. It only makes sense that they are now associated with the only decade with enough bravado to pull it off, the 1980's. In a way striking colors like solid gold on a wheel is already starting the movement of considering …

BBS RS001 White Edition. Do meet your heroes.

I should start off be saying thank you.

[FRA] Restaurer des jantes en s’éloignant de ses sous, partie 2 : ponçage, peinture, finitions

Et nous voila donc au bouquet final, la peinture. J'avais ramené du boulot pour mes congés en France. Une ligne de mort aussi : pas plus de 2 jours pour poncer - dégraisser - peindre (apprêt, base et vernis). En réalite, en comptant les touches finales c'est plutôt 4 jours dessus. J'ai donc commencé par …

Speedline for Porsche 993 CUP SUPERCUP Magnesium Centerlock Wheels. Quite Light.

First the money shot, or more accurately, money number. You have read that right. 10 kilos. The weight of a 18" Speedline wheel with magnesium center. in 1995. Impressive. You might remember in the old 964 days, a front Cup wheel by Speedline was 11.2 kg. Florian from 944 racing listed a weight of 11.54 …

Meeting Komatsu-san, a silent Master of his craft

Some people will tell you that the best in the business can only be known by word of mouth. I'd say not necessarily. Discovering Komatsu-san and his wheel shop just necessitated a web browser. And a plane ticket. And a rental car. Broadly speaking Japan car culture has a few hearts : one in Tokyo, …

[FRA] Restaurer des jantes en restant près de ses sous, partie 1 : Repolir des bords de jantes peintes, vernies, polies.

Repolir des jantes à la main, ca peut sembler être une bonne idée. Ca peut l'être. Mais c'est une opération aussi longue que monotone. Cela requiert une patience et un amour de la répétition digne d'un amateur de drogues de synthèse, et une aversion à la dépense, elle aussi de junkie qui a d'autres priorités. …

[ENG] Packing Wheels : another tutorial, 4 x 1 method

Not being - quite - utterly obtuse i tend to still pick up techniques and tricks along the way. More precisely, living in a country with different and sibyllin package size limitations (between regular AIR mail, super fast EMS, and leisurely paced SURFACE shipping...) it is sometimes a safer option to pack wheels individually rather …
