i'm getting the sport max 002s. Dope offsets, I couldn't pass on them. but my rikens are gonna be much lighter. and they already have RT-615s on them so its almost a no brainer now that i think about it.

Anywho, I dont like meshies (ol' skool enkies, rikens) on S14s. I dont know why. But people have put crown vic mesh rims on them. I still dont like it tho.

keep the thread goin

15x7 +14 will NOT stick out that much.I have SSR in 15x7.5 +5 and they dont stick out that much.

Thats half an inche wider and 9mm less offset.

So now way yours stick out as much as you say.

And the only way you can get them to stick out less is by getting adjustable rear upper control arms and Cambering them a bit more. If they were bigger you could roll also.But point is 15x7 +14 is pretty conservative and wouldnt require any of this ****.

Just an FYI for the 5- lug guys.

ALL SERIES 5 RX7's HAVE BBS MESHIES . You can spot a series 5 by just looking at the rubber molding around the car. If its matched to the body color its a series 5. Oh and the BBS center caps are screwed on, not popped into place. 99% of the time BBS Meshies will have all 4 center caps.

I have 2 FC3S's. One Rotary, one 350 powered.

Ill now be scowering the JY for a set of Meshies for my S14. Bronze with chrome lip FTW!

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.
Those are 15" Crown Vic wheels, also used on the Town Car and Continental. Theyre 15x6" I believe.

These are the 16x7" +6 Crown Vic wheels. Theyre also used on Lincoln Mark VII, but those have a higher offset. This style was used on the early 90's Crown Vic. The last body style used a version with ridges connecting the center star.

I was considering raiding the junkyard for some Crown Vic wheels and having the lip machined and the mesh rattle canned gold. Will those wheels work on a 4 bolt S13?

Edit: Just saw the 5 bolt pattern

IIRC no meshies will clear the Z32 brakes. Just do a Q45 swap. They'll make it. Just as good just no sexy Nissan Logo.

Finally got my Enkei meshes! I'll post some pictures up later.

Got a question though, does anyone know where I can get centercaps for them, or even any other centercaps that would fit on it?

I don't know how much for the centercaps, never thought about it.

And for all the rims, I don't know.Maybe I'd even trade for another pair of rims.
