haha, I actually just put the mesh in front because i didnt have enough clearance the way my coilovers are set, the lock rings are right where the wheel edge is and i didnt feel like adjusting them, guess im cursed to buy some bolt on spacers since i can fit my z-brakes with the mesh either.

[Altiman94]

[downshift]

THey are ghetto IMO

lol, yeah, they were alwasy a lil too old school for me. But some people do actually make em look nice.

[Fenvy]

they look good, i wish know how to do that

[sixxdeuce]

you guys are calling my 16" volk superfine mesh ghetto?? oh man, that hurts

[downshift]

they look sweet, its just people got their own style. and personally i neva took a likin to mesh wheels....im more of the 22's on an civic type.....lol. ok ok seriously, if those mesh wheels were, lets say, given to me *hint* then i wouldnt mind but i wouldnt buy them myself.

[sixxdeuce]

yeah, its cool. i think i like all old school wheels because of how they fit on the car, cant find many modern 4-lugs in a 16x7.5+22
