The first one we'll be talking about is the VS-XX, another multi-piece wheel with a timeless design that'll always look good on just about anything. Nowadays, you can't go to a car show without seeing tons of insane builds, specifically on WORK wheels. What kind of JDM wheel list would this be without WORK? Being founded in a similar timeframe to the other JDM brands on this list, we saw WORK pop up right around the late 70s.

This wheel was a huge hit for Speed Star Racing (SSR for long) and was designed and produced in the 80s, coming in some dope finishes that stood head and shoulders above most other wheels from the era. Design Features and Specs of the SSR Star SharkĪnother wheel from SSR with a badass name is the SSR Star Shark - this wheel is ultra-rare and very sought after, known for its smaller diameters but also coming in decent widths, at least for the time. This wheel is a bit more tricky to find, and it's also littler than some others, usually found on AE86s, Miatas, and other smaller JDM coupes, but if you can find one and you've got the right car for it, shoot. SSR was made with racing in mind, so although the wheels are three-piece, they're still very light. This makes for a really unique look, and being three-piece, the customization options are literally endless, from the widths and offsets to the finishes that SSR offers.
The SP1 is an iconic five-spoke multi-piece wheel, offering partially-exposed hardware with some of it being hidden by the spokes themselves. SSR is an OG in the wheel game, being founded in 1971, and one of our favorites that had to make the list is the SSR Professor SP1. We're switching gears to another Japanese company that also claims to have made the very first three-piece wheel: SSR.

Remember our little trick from the last wheel where the number was directly related to the weight? It's the same here - CE28 stands for Competition Expert 2.8 Kilograms, lighter than the TE37's older brother. This wheel is all about performance, taking everything that makes the TE37 popular and upping it just a little bit, not only adding more spokes for increased rigidity, but also somehow even further reducing the weight. Next up in the race lineup is the Volk CE28N. Plus, Volk also offers a ton of different finishes, submodels, and even limited release colorways - all told, there's a TE37 for everyone.ĭesign Features and Specs of the Volk CE28N
To hold that kind of stake in the industry after it's changed so much in that time is no small feat. You'll see the TE37 on show cars to track cars and everything in between, and it's hard to find a wheel that's been as popular in the last 25 years than this one. Not only does this six-spoke simple design look amazing on basically every car ever made, it's also loved for big brake clearances and forged construction, which keeps it super light. The first TE37 model ever made was a 15-inch wheel and weighed only 3.7 kilograms, which is where the name comes from. To rip off the band-aid, let's talk about some of Volk's most iconic wheels - we literally can't make a list like this without mentioning one of the most iconic aftermarket wheels on the planet, the Volk TE37. Let's not waste any time and jump into our list below!ĭesign Features and Specs of the Volk TE37 We're talking about the best Japanese wheels ever made. Today, though, we're jumping across the pond in the other direction to the land where everyone gets their overnight parts from - Japan. There are so many different wheels from all over the world, from monoblock to two-piece, three-piece, cast, directional, non-directional, the list goes on.
