Default ssr sp1, cast? forged? both?

i searched the forum and seems like some says the ssr from japan are forged and the ones in the US ssw are cast, and some says they are all the same with cast inner spokes and forged outer rims, so which is it?

also, my ssr sp1's have different stickers on the front and rears, what gives? and what are "export models" ? how is it different from, i guess, non-export model?

for those who have sp1's, what does it say on the inside of your rims?

here are some pictures of mines

all rims have this





front rims have this



rear rims have this

my .02.

1. Your front rims are newer than your rear rims(Front say tanabe which is the company that bought out and currently owns SSR.

OR

2. Your front rims are JDM Spec.(tanabe), Your rear rims are US Spec. The rear are ment to be exported to US. Also japanese SSR used to say Speedstar "racing" not speedstar "co."
