Interesting video done by Subaru. For some it may be painful to watch, while for others it’s a important process used to improve safety. Just take a look at how easily the cars of old held up compared to the standards of today.

Kei Car Craze
For those who have not been informed on the Japanese “K”-car scene, they are compact cars that are very affordable and very accommodating for the narrow streets of Japanese metropolitan cities. Mainly used to just move people around short distances, they have recently gained huge popularity in the aftermarket culture with custom body kits, excessive lights, and custom leather interiors. Some kei cars are VIP styled like big body luxury sedans while others are more sports oriented (like the Cappuccino and Copen).
Although the scene is huge in Japan unfortunately there isn’t a market anywhere else for small compact cars, but nevertheless here are some that stood out to me in this issue of K-CAR magazine (and as it turns out, they have SSR wheels on!).

Last day of our Trip to Japan
Here are a few snaps from the last day of our Trip to Japan this past January. We covered Shibuya, Akihabara and the Harajuku area. Definitely a unique area compared to what I saw in the Osaka area. Enjoy!

Oops, I made a mesh
There’s just something nostalgic about seeing an old Japanese car on a set of mesh wheels. It’s like how a suite and tie complement each other in bringing out the professionalism of a person. Here we have a Nissan Laurel sitting on a rare set of SSR mesh wheels.

New FIC Wheel Spacers for 5/100 Bolt Pattern
FIC Racing has now released more options for 5/100 wheel spacers due to the increase of this bolt pattern’s popularity. In addition to the 15mm spacers that were already available new 10mm and 20mm wheel spacers have been now been added to the 5/100 line up.
FIC spacers not only help give a flushed look but also widen the track of the vehicle. FIC spacers are also hub centric which reduce unnecessary vibrations and wear of the wheels. These spacers can be used with OEM and aftermarket wheels!

Goma Garage Crown
While browsing Speedhunters, I came across a few pictures of a Crown from the Excite King VIP Meet. This crown was so cleanly executed I had to share the pictures! It has an aggressive wheel fitment but often times in the US, you see cars that have mangled fenders or just something that’s not done right. This car had its fenders modified and body work was actually done to keep it looking clean. The Professor MS3 wheels really give it a nice look as well!

A look back at Chris Forsberg’s 2010 Infiniti “M56”
With Formula Drift making a stop at Atlanta, Georgia this weekend, we checked in with our sponsored driver, Chris Forsberg. Posted on his Instagram, we spotted a unique build amongst a crowd of race cars. Don’t be fooled, Chris’s 2010 Infiniti M35 is not your average family sedan. The “M56” custom badge was only fitting once a Nissan VK56DE 5.6L V8 was swapped in.

Chris is running SSR Professor MS1 wheels 18×9.5-inch (F) 18×11-inch (R)
Wheels: SSR Professor MS1

Good luck to Chris Forsberg and his team at Round 2, Formula Drift in Atlanta this weekend.
