WHY SSP?
TYRES & CAPS
In April 2009 after nearly two years of research and development, we
took delivery of our first container of wheels. Having spent so much time
re-designing to improve fit and increase the authenticity of our wheels we
naturally entrusted an ISO/TUV approved factory to bring our dreams to
reality. They are created using the latest in wheel production technology
and offer timeless designs, closer to the original classics than other
reproduction wheels on the market today.
All of our SSP Wheels can be supplied to you with Yokohama tyres
already fitted and balanced, simply bolt on and go!
The quality of SSP wheels is unrivalled, the fitment is perfect, and we are
so confident of the quality of them we offer a 2 year warranty* for added
peace of mind.
Yokohama are world famous; a quality brand well known for sure
footed cornering and excellent levels of traction in both dry and wet
conditions. We don’t offer budget tyres for a reason.
Tyre Deal = 4 wheels fitted with 185/65x15 Yokohama tyres.
4 Stud Wheels
This deal is great for Standard Beetle and Bus models, but if your
classic Volkswagen has been lowered then you may need to fit smaller
front tyres to achieve the look and drivability you require.
It’s easy to get blown away with the science behind wheels and fitment;
PCD and ET – (not the alien on a BMX) but an important factor when
choosing the correct rims. Read on to find it all out!
Combinations of tyres can also be fitted, big at the back and small at
the front.
PCD, Stud Pattern, Pitch Circle Diameter. Basically, how many wheel bolts
does your vehicle have on one wheel? That’s it! So if you have 4 “studs”
how far apart are they on an imaginary circle? This is the diameter bit.
Check out the diagram to find out how to measure it.
ET or Offset. This determines how far you wheels tuck in or stick out in
relation to the vehicle and its bodywork. This is due to the position of the
mounting face within the wheel. The lower the number, the further the
wheel sticks out, this is really important on Karmann Ghia’s for example
as they have very narrow wheel arches. Have a look at the illustration
(right) to get to grips with offset.
Examples of this could be a Late Bay owner requiring 195 width tyres
on the rear, to fill the arches a little more.
Or a Cal Look Beetle owner wanting 195/60/15 on the back and
145/60 on the front for that classic “back up, nose
down” look.

Bolts, studs and nuts. Don’t panic over this! We are here to help you
through this, just tell us your vehicle and we will make sure the suitable
fittings are included free of charge!
SSP Alloy Wheels deserve love; be sure to keep them clean with a nonabrasive cleaner, and keep them protected from the elements with a
product like RIMWAX, this is particularly important for our chrome and
polished wheels.

Security! The last thing you want is your new SSP Alloy wheels going
walkies. Ask about our range of locking wheel nuts and bolts to keep your
new investment bolted to your pride and joy.
*All wheels have a 2 year structural warranty, painted wheels carry a 2 year warranty on
finish, chrome wheels have a 1 year warranty on finish, and polished wheels will require
regular polishing to maintain the finish.

reproduced in alloy.
With finishes offered in matt black and silver and gloss
