Here goes my meshies, just got these today for free from my uncle. He told me when i got my 240sx he had some gold wheels for me but I don't think you'll like them turns out it was almost exactly what I wanted.

He only had 3 so if anyone has one for me please let me know.They're Enkei's 15x7 offset is I think 35 lip no lip but doesnt look that bad

Blurry pic sorryand yes they're hella dirty they need new tires and im going to paint them either gunmetal gray or black.Pic on my car yes also it needs to be lowered lol just started this project a month ago anyways.

^^Not exactly bronze, but my old old setup used to be black meshies on FR and gold meshies on RR. I still miss the gold. Bronze might not look as good as you might think for meshies but that's just my opinion.



FR - Black centered Riken's 15x7 +17RR - Gold centered SSR's 15x7 +7

I got mine for 400 shipped off ebay. Just search for Riken, Enkei, American racing or Ssr mesh wheels. I'm probably missing a bunch of brands but they all make the "oldschool" style meshies.

From this

To this

Same wheels, not on coilovers, untinted.

Its very unfortunate but what it is now is WAY more practical for now. In the future it will be scrapping **** on the dayly. Glory days will come again soon.

I just bought these, only 3 of them but I paid $125 so its all good They're 14x7 (i think?), they seem perfect, than I wanna get a set of rikens 15x7's for the back. And maybe 205/55/14s for the front and 205 50/15s on the back? Does that seem about right? What do ya guys think?

Hey I just picked up my rikens today . They're almost perfect (least the lip is) with one scratch on the lip but the mesh part of it has some chips in it. The paint on them feels rubbery and where the paint chipped it leaves big holes (because the paint is so thick) how do I do to repaint them or maybe at least touch them up? I doubt I can find spray paint that'll get the paint as thick as it was before, do I scrape the paint off, sand it, bondo it???? Anyone?

Car will be painted black soon! I will probably sand down and repaint my wheels/polish the lip too.

I have Rial 15x7. I have never seen another set of Rial mesh. These were made in 1985 in West Germany. They were sold to me from someone off of the Tampa Racing forum. They are supposedly +10 e.t., but look closer to 0.

I also had these brand new deadstock American Racing (basically Enkei 92's), white mesh, 15x7 dont remember the e.t., it was a little higher than my Rials. Only problem was they were 4x110, and the seller did not realize. Sent them back and got my refund. I cried a little when I found out they would not fit.
