gt5 pic thread

No shit! I am tempted to go out and drop cash on a wheel to become that good. On the controller you dont have any control at the speed from which you can go lock-to-lock, with the wheel you can juggle that ish no problem.

Meanwhile, as has been said, Ferrari 458, worked, best sounding car evar... I came everywhere.

STFU AND POST PICS
its a pic thread not lets have a debate about ssr thread

"what trolls want you to think"...

Anyways, GT5 could use Speed Star rims if theren't already some. Unless there aren't many older cars.

Dude...


umad?

The bold line technically is wrong, because there are lines of wheels under the SSR logo just as Rays have volk etc.

You'll have to help me out here, which ones?

Oh wait, you're probably talking about the American site, which I already addressed...

Tanabe = Company

SSR = Brand A
Speed Star = Brand B

I think you're confused because I called Speed Star 'Speed Star Racing' out of old habit.

Speed Star is to SSR, what BlackFleet is to Volk.

Tanabe is to Speed Star and SSR, what Rays is to BlackFleet and Volk.
Speed Star Racing used to be a company, but they went bankrupt and Tanabe acquired the brands. Comprende?
In US - whole thing is called SSR. SSR also short for Speed Star Racing - still used as an acronym for company. For future reference, when I say SSR, I mean the brand. If I mean the company, I'll say Speed Star Racing. Unless I'm naming a wheel, because then it's just too damn long.

Fair enough, I always knew speed star wheels (MKI,II,III) to be the beginnings of SSR, known as Speed Star Racing.

Im pretty sure a lot of people would recognise them all as SSR, and anything to do with ownership of the company (Tanabe) as a different matter.

This isnt a wheel discussion thread regardless.

THIS is a badass drift vid from GT5... Autum ring ftmfw!!

Oxer, word of advice. Do not argue about wheel companies with Firelizard.

ok, so why in your second point of the above quote did you seperate SSR and Speed Star? They are the same thing. SSR = Speed Star Racing. Same brand.

What are you talking about?

a) I didn't say they were differen't companies, they're different product lines
b) Tanabe owns the SSR and Speed Star brands, so yes, anything they say is official
