Since my last wheel fiasco, I need some help. I have varied tastes my favorite wheel is a TE-37 but my second favorite are mesh wheels work equip or watanabe. So I am taking suggestions on wheels. Pics, especially on an S13 would be great. Here is the best case scenario:16x8 +10 4x114.3 .

Let's see 'em!

Are you staying pignose or are you gonna go Chuki? S13 isnt specific. Certain wheels look amazing on a coupe, that look oogleh on a hatch, and vice versa. It also depdends on color, aero, etc.

Im just gonna post the ones that i have that are hatchback. I have more, but um.... whatevs lol

















i couldnt find any good watanabe pics, but sombody else can probably cover that

Thanks guys. I have spent a few days looking and i think i have made my choice. Rota Grid 16x8 +10 bronze. It is the closest thing ot a te37 in the correct offset and size. Plus i get to use those f'ing $100 rays lugnuts i have. I was leaning towards a work equip 03 mesh, but 15 inch wheels look too small on our cars.

Anyone know where i can find grids in 16x8 +10 (in stock)?

Well after seeing some posts about rota wheels peeling i'm not so sure any more. This one guy had them on for a week and they started major peeling. He returned them 3 times because of this issue.
