Jonathan Wong

Editor-in-Chief, Super Street; Editorial Director, Project Car

Jonathan “JDM” Wong needs no introduction, really. Don’t you know who he is? He’ll make you famous! As one of the last remaining editors from one of the original SS editorial staffs (yes, he’s been here for over 13 years), he started then as the FNG in 1998 as an Associate Editor, working his way up the corporate ladder and taking over as Editor-in-Chief in 2007. He is famously known for helping to put the term “JDM” on the map and has always been a believer in all things that are built simply but with class; he also loves old school cars/wheels, SSR Super Fins and his ‘90 EF Civic. A native of Los Angeles, these days you can catch JDM Wong at most popular car meets or grubbing at King Taco (or whatever other cool hipster food establishment has his interest that day), or maybe at none of those at all. Catch him if you can...
