Mesh Crew, Show Some Love!!

[Driftless240]

Okay guys, the meshies have been growing on me for a while now and I'm really thinking of getting a pair. Unfortunately I'm a total Mesh noob.

What good meshies are there that fit the 4 lug bolt pattern?

How rare are 16's?

Where do you guys find these things?! I have no clue where to start!

please help me out!!

We have converted another, whoot. Alrighty my friend, there are plenty that can actually fit your bolt pattern. The more popular/common ones that are true mesh rims are the Rikens & the Enkei 92's. The spex on those are both 15x7 +0 offset on Riken, +17/+25 on the Enkei, no matter which they will fit nicely. It is not easy to come but it can be done. I am trying to find a 16 that match the Rikens. The 16" ones that I have come by like SSR, are offset of +46, disgusting.

If you would physically like to look, check junkyards, you may be able to find a decent pair.

Always check the forums!!! That is your best bet for Rikens, Enkei's, etc. Be ready to pay average 500 for those and some like Work or SSR expect 800-900.

Sorry to advertise against you guys but http://www.zilvia.net has a good amount listed in their wheels/tires section. Every post of mine, but about 2, have been in classifieds.

I want lrb's car.

[KA24Power]

awesome, thanks.

I'm not really wanting to physically look for them, just keep an eye out. I've looked around ebay and zilvia. Sheesh these things aren't cheap! oh well, the mesh looks so nice.

After looking a bit I realized that they aren't as common as I had originally thought.

[KA24Power]

okay now i'm excited. I just found some Riken meshies on a local forum. All good shape, just missing one centre cap.

He says they're 15's... so 15x7 +0?!

how much for this set? $200.oo

sound good guys?

I think so

Edit** they don't seem to be 15x7+0 from the picture. They don't seem right. Here is the link: http://forums.vitalmotion.net/...30888Can someone verify if they actually are rikens?

I am not to sure if those are Rikens or not, here are my (Now ~4n~'s) Rikens for reference:

[ka24deColt]

a local junk yard has sum bbs gt's for $125 i think they might be like 17x 9 or sumthing around there... should i pick them up????

[daconkiftador]

^ofcourse!

[KA24Power]

i think they're rikens, but the size doesn't sound so good

15x6 +35 or something like that

the mesh part doesn't seem flush with the lip, and i don't think it'll look too good. I'm gonna pass on them or see if they're still up in a few months when the car is officially mine.

[neverlift]

if they are 4x114 you should then sell them to me cheap

[D*star]

WEll...since people gave up with pictures....Im out of the mesh club for the winter......got some new wheels and tires for snow from the GF. SSR's (in my sig)get rested until summer for these.

NOte: Car had JUST been dropped off the jack when pic was taken......hence front not settling yet.

[KA24Power]

hey man, if you dont' mind paying for the shipping i'll get them and send em to you for a bit of profit on my part

I don't know how much shipping would be on 4 wheels.

let me know if you're serious though..

[~4N~]

This car wins.

[KA24Power]

Hands down.

[efrain240sx]

that cars looks freaken sweet

[Junkies]

what car is that^^

[KA24Power]

looks like they had to do a pretty agressive pull/flare on the back. Imagine if that were RWD...

[neverlift]

I should have told you j/k because they are +36

hey D* you like swatchyz? I thought about going that way but like mesh a lil more. I think I can get a set of 4 of those same rims. 14's IIRC.

[XingYu]

I really want some meshes too, but people have been giving me some really horrific shipping quotes upwards to $200 - $300. =( I'll find some! I am determined for them!

[neverlift]

without rubber it should cost no morre then 25 dollars a wheel

let me geuss the mesh was cheap tho? thats a scizam, just keep the eyez out for em thats the only way unless you have money to burn,then you can just go 5 lug and get all teh secks meshiness,too bad I'm not rich.

[leveloneae86]

hello. i dont post much and lurk around to gather info alot and i just got myself a set a meshies after a hard struggle to find these for a decent price. this forum has motiviated and inspired me to get meshies. thanks again here r some pics.

[Drewster]

dude i live close to san jose, have the same color hatch, and those exact mesh rims. enkei 92's 0 offset right? hilarious

[180sxfaktory]

Black Sunshine with SSR Full Reverse Mesh 16 x 8 (F= 0 and R= -4).

[leveloneae86]

i gues its time for a paint job? lol

[Driftless240]

Whoot, we have made a difference!!!!! Good Job guys, man I can't wait to get my hands on another set of meshies, I am torn between them and a set of Work Equipt 03's. They are of the mesh origin but just not as meshie as them, feel me? I can post a pic, oh and of one that totally pwns the one that wins "Hands down" above.

[BuLLeTdrift]

I've owned 3 sets of mesh rims...all found here and there at decent prices. You just gotta search. But I just ordered some new rims so I'm torn between the two. Use the Mesh rims or the new pretty shinny rims for regular cuisin/wut not, and use the other for track use. I just dont know.

[neverlift]

bulletdriftwhat are specs? new/old we already know mesh is teh secks and are pretty light. Offset is most of the time right on time. Let us see new ones and get some weights of both. For the track you'll want the least unsprung weight. And when you get a tire sponsor lmk tell em to call me btw if you track your new wheels and f'em up you will be mad but if you f*** the mesh up we all will be mad,you know they are getting hard to find so....180sxfaktory stop showing off lol

leveloneae86 NICE how much you pay?

[leveloneae86]

i paid 300 for them. i know i could have gotten them for much cheaper but it was cheapest i found. i wish our junk yard had em. i guess i gotta keep lookin. i hate admission to junkyards. lol

[neverlift]

no **** half the time they dont have what you want and the other half they do but its fuct,they got me for thousands already j/k

[P.W.Royce]

Am I the only one that likes meshies on the S14? I searched the junkyards and Ebay for some cheap Crown Vic meshies (16x7 +6mm) but never found a set.

Great thread BTW!

Has anyone actualy put Ford mesh wheels on their 240sx? If so I would love to see it. My '91 s13 hb was stolen on christmas eve, and I have been driving a '94 Lincoln Towncar as a loaner, and it has. . . you guessed it, meshies.

I was sort of joking around with my roommate, who also has an s13, that the Towncar wheels would look good on a pignose. I had no idea people were actualy running these things.

Oh, on my way back from taking pics in the parking lot i spoted this, not axactly mesh but you get the idea.

[Driftless240]

Man I need new Enkei 92's, I miss my Meshies . I had some Rikens but sold them to ~4n~ in hopes to put that money towards a new set of 92's but I bought a new car instead. I can't wait to set it up with some 92's and a Xenon Front lip
