Default Looks like Tanabe bought out SSR
It is on Tanabe's Japanese site... not all the wheels SSR had has been listed but they do list the Comps and the SP1's as well as the new (ugly) SP2's.

I'm a little confused. There's SSR, Speed Star Racing, and Speed Star Wheels. I'm guessing SSR and Speed Star Racing were the same, but were did Speed Star Wheel come from? S. S. Wheels is making the SP-1 Professors now but there's no mention of SSR on S.S. Wheel's website and vice-versa. Did SSR plsit into two different companies?
