Where is everybody getting their mesh wheels???

[revat619]

Ok im frustrated. I've looked all over the internet and I cant find deep dish mesh wheels for sale anywhere. I've seen a bunch of people on this board that have em.....where are you guys/girls getting these wheels? :confused:

p.s. please dont say WheelChoice or Jspec.com because i've checked there and they dont have em'.

[Dousan_PG]

wheel choice or jspec gets them occassionly just have jump on it

you need to be in so cali too haha..easy to find stuff!

[revat619]

tsunamiOne- sweet pic!!! thats exactly what im looking for. ah well........the quest continues:(

there is also a shop called Alta (or Socal Alterations). Located in Los Angeles.

http://www.alta-web.co.jp

there should be a number for that shop on teh website. They use to have a website for the LA store, but I don't know what happened to it. They carry a lot of mesh wheels.

[tsunami0ne]

www.takakaira.com

[revat619]

are you sure about TakaKaira? last time i checked they didnt have anything. Maybe i'm not looking at the right brands.....I looked at SSR, Enkei, and Volk...what other brands should i look at while i'm at this site?

[Dousan_PG]

coolerow2 was selling a set for 300 bucks i think 0 offset!

[revat619]

i saw those, but theyre 15's and i have an s14....wont that look kinda goofy? Especially considering the fact that my car is still at stock height and the offset is so low. I dunno what do you think?

[Dousan_PG]

oh i didnt pay attention to what you had
got to Alta
they have 5 lug stuff in a variety of setups. just NEGOTIATE like crazy


you should get at least 16s for an s14 imho

i'd lower the car before getting wheels. nothing looks funier then a car at stock height w/ aftermarket wheels.

the low offset wil just stick out the fenders of the car and look mexicali low-rider style. odelay! might as well get 13x7 -10 100 spoke chrome wheels haha

i have a base S14....no 5-lug here :(

My quest just keeps going down hill....this sucks

[revat619]

look at my fender gap......i mean c'mon now.....thats just ridiculous.....*mumble* stupid small wheels....stupid big wheel well *mumble*

[revat619]

sorry about the multiple posts...heres a pic of my seemingly lifted s14 kouki.

[adey]

your S14 looks lifted because of the (apparently) smaller-than-stock sidewall. are those 15 or 16" wheels? Get some 205/55/16 or 205/60/15 tires and the gap won't look so bad. :)

Omigosh LOL! Yeah, what adey said. =P I also have a base model S14 with those rims. I'm using 205/60/15 tires. Unless you plan on having your wheel + tire diameter much larger than stock, I think lowering the car might be the only way to really get rid of the gap. Cuz on stock suspensions and near-stock tires, the gap was still pretty bad.

[revat619]

hmmm im guessing 205/50/15 isnt stock :rolleyes: .......i always wondered why my car always looked the way it did....now i know. thanks guys. Hey Danio, got any pics of your car?

i definitely want to do some suspension work. i was thinking H&R springs w/ KYB AGX shocks...what do you think?

First and foremost though, i want some deep dish mesh wheels!!!
Its starting to get very discouraging, i cant find em' anywhere.....

the quest continues :(

hey, mine are 0 offset, and they don't look that bad :D..they stick out about an inch or maybe a little less, just like Esteban's (coolerow's) wheels, but it looks like pure evil, and not like the mexicali look...I hope :D :p

They look sweet on your cars. definitely not the mexicali look :p But i have an s14.....it just wouldnt look right.

Believe me, if i could buy coolerow's rikens and it would look nice like his and yours i would.

chokudori, add more negative camber and they'll tuck nicely and wont look so ghetto. use 205/55 too if they are 15x7
will look much better
