SSR back from the dead??
I noticed SSR is on Tanabe's website and ads now. Did they buy them out ?? Their SSR Type-C RS wheel still looks so nice in Gunmetal now. It;s a nice option instead of the Advan RG II wheel. Weights about 18 pounds for the 18x9.5 and spokes looks close to the Advans. Here's the new site:

yeah tanabe bought them out back when they were going under back at the start of '05
As you know, Speed Star Co. Ltd and Speed Star Sales Co. ltd went bankrupt on January 27th this year. The disappearance of their high end technology and the traditional brand maintained for more than thirty years will not be acceptable to the people concerned in the after market as very shocking and unforgettable news of 2005.
We were looking for measures of their reconstruction in some way since January 27th because we had been engaged in the sales of their products in South East Asian countries and had a favorable relationship with them long term.
We, Tanabe Co.,Ltd, have been selected as the exclusive buyer of business rights and assets of the two companies (Speed Star Racing & Speed Star Wheel) as the result of the tender invited by the receiver.
We will need more or less one month to complete the transfer of the assets from the receiver and to restart the production and sales. We will keep you informed each time the details come to be clear.
We will continue to produce SSR products as well as our Tanabe products

I had two sets of SSR's for my previous car, one set of Integrals and one set of Comp's and really liked them.
I'd like to buy a set for the Evo.
Keep us posted as to when they'll be available in the U.S.
Thanks
