i have a friend who wants to sell me enkei meshs which are 15x7 +0 offsets (i think) or his other rims which are 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10 in the rear offsets are low but i just forgot. which one should i go with? the meshs are $400 cheaper but not as stunning as his other rims. trust me his rims arent rice at all. sorry for not having any pictures YET. i will soon post some.

but off the sizes, which should i go for?

You should be e-slapped for even considering putting 15x7 on a 240. Thats almost like stock. What would the point be?

Get the 17x9.5 and 18x10 and make them work.

Go for the other WHEELS. WHEELS. Not RIMS.

Different people have different tastes, I happen to like having more rubber between road and rim. That and mesh wheels look sweet

Oh, and if you're wondering what wheels those are, they're MB Battles. Hard to find but I can get them for a small cut, lol. Around $120 a wheel.

^ That's a great price DGK.

I'd go with the meshies, the 10" may be too wide for your application at this point. 15x7 +-0 will be nice and flush. If you want to run a tire stretch it won't be as flush though.

It all depends on YOUR taste and your torque/power goals for the car. If you will have 300-400 hp someday, then go with the large ones.

Actually those are both wheels

The rim is just the outer edge of the wheel that the tire mounts too. So the spokes connect the hub to the rim

15x7 is weak. get at least 15x8.

but its really pointless. if the other wheels are 4 lug or you plan on going 5 lug, get the 17x9.5/18x10 those sizes are f***in priime

Post by **OM3GA** » Mon May 04, 2009 9:15 pm

go with the bigger ones! Because your going to eventually anyways.. it just happens

how much money do you have to spend on tires? tires for the 15's are going to be a butt load cheaper than for the 17/18 combo.

also, imo, 18" wheels are usually too big to look good on s13's. of course there are certain exceptions, but other key factors played huge rolls in pulling that diameter off.

says the guy rockin SE's

i kid i kid

what are your power goals?

15x7 can hold a 225 tire ( i like meaty tires) and honestly if you dont have crazy goals you dont NEED 10 in wheels plus the mesh wheels will look great

sorry if its not baller enough for all of you guys

Post by **Jadesr20det** » Wed May 06, 2009 6:11 am

Leave the mesh to the crown vic and AE86 crowd get the real WHEELS .....I would however like to see this 17-18 setup

Post by **SleepyHB** » Wed May 06, 2009 6:19 am

hahaha touche, i am a fan of mesh wheels but for me personally 7" wide is useless. my se's look better then what i had, but i wouldn't go out a buy aftermarket wheels in sizes that arent what i want. but if your st0ck ka for lyf3 y0 then 7" is perfect
