The tricky thing about dark lips is “losing” them in the tire. Just my .02, a TA stripe on the outside edge raised lip. I think there are even TA stickers now? Something that compliments the teal blue (or maybe contrast); or you could do tire stickers if you like those. Then match the lugs to that that color. White stripe, white lugs. It would break up all the black.

Or just tell me to bugger off.

I do dig them though
did it with my old 350z back in 09'. It made such a big difference. The hard part is finding the right thickness for the strip and in some cases, complimenting it with the right color. If I remember correctly, I went with 1/4" or 6-7mm thickness.

Just wondering, is there a special tape to use?

At first I couldn't spot the difference, but when you do, it makes a huge difference! Those are some sweet old-school Volks, btw!

I went to a vinyl shop and got them to cut me, I think it was, 16 57"-60", 1/4" wide strips, on a 19" wheel. Most vinyl shops carry 3M or Avery vinyl so youll always get a good brand. Youll want back up strips since they start to get a bit scuffed up every 6 months or so, due to wear and tear of daily driving.

There are a few sets for sale on Yahoo Auctions Japan. Most likely, it'll be easier to get them there than here since cats are lazy when it comes to shipping (in my experience from the last sets that came available). Get with Jesse Streeter or RHD Japan of you don't already have a Japanese contact.

Not sure. Josh at Kamispeed has been hard to get ahold of since Covid19. I hope he is still around.

Just received my M6 Chrome pierce bolts for the SSR’s,
I got a few questions for the experts
Are the SSR WHEELS welded from the barrels?
Once I swap out the pierce bolts and torque them down to specs do I need to reseal with new silicone or leave as is cus they are welded
Thanks

They are sealed with a sealant. They are not welded.
