SSR

TnTperformance is proud to be the New Zealand distributor for the high performance wheel brand, SSR.

SSR is a Japanese made wheel who made its world wide reputation from the international racing scene and then developed a range of wheels for the street from race design to full street custom.

Manufacturing SSR wheels uses a Semi Solid forging process. It is a specialized process perfected by Alumax, a leading aluminum manufacturer, uniquely structured alloy billets are heated to a semi-solid state (the consistency of soft butter) and molded in a specifically engineered forging press. The positive aspects of this process found applications in the aircraft and automotive sectors. Through an exclusive contract with Alumax, SSR conducted additional research and development and built their wheel manufacturing plant in Japan to produce alloy wheels using Semi-Solid Forging (SSF) technology. They further developed SSF technology, were granted a patent, and are the first and only SSF wheel manufacturer in the world today producing Semi-Solid Forged alloy wheels. This ultra high tech forging technology creates a very strong and lightweight wheel ideal for street or track.
