I seriously have not idea where to look except the for sale section, and it doesn't come by very often.. so are there some website where they sell mesh wheels.. SSR, RS Wannabe, panasport, revolution etc.. etc.. thanks for any suggestions!!

Go to a pick n' pull junkyard. You'll likely find a few old Nissans and Toyotas with 4x114 bolt pattern aftermarket mesh wheels. Clean 'em up, maybe repaint the centers, polish the lips, and there you go.

Talk to the cali people, try seeing if they can roam around some junkyards for you. Also ask dousan, he seems to sell some every once in a while.

There was a site with junkyard rims, but I forgot the link, it was some place in california that had a pretty basic site with loads of rims.

i sold my meshies already. im getting to the end of my wheel whoring. i think 26 wheels in the past 2 years is enough. WHEW.

im pleased with my current 'collection' now. just got a nother 2 sets (full) i want haha..not including the future 5 lug changeover (ack another 2 full sets!! )

i had
4 SE s13
6 base model steelies
4 riken mesh
2 SSR reverse mesh
2 southern ways
2 centerlines (current) -the other 2 are driftingpanda's. we went 1/2s on the set :)
4 xr-4s (current)
2 Kosei K1s (current)

and i borrow driftingpanda's SSR formula mesh (ill buy it from you soon, swear! )



i say junkyard it!! best deals you can find on those old cars. bring a tape measure w/ you! :)

Try Alteration. Its a shop in L.A. They usually have a few sets of mesh wheels. Several people have bought mesh from there.

Here's the number: 626-442-8111.

Good luck with your search. Mesh Owns :D

EDIT: Dousan36, I think i may be catching your wheel whoring fever :D It started with my SSR's, now i'm unstoppable! muahahaha!!!

Man!!! I remember a few years back when SoCal Alteration had 14"-15" SSR mesh for about $500 a set. I went back a couple months ago and they're now selling them for like $1,200.

die INITIAL D die!!!!!

Alta still has a pretty good selection though.

yep yep
you gotta negotiate like CRAZY to get even close to that. never can anymore. too popular. ahhh the memories. the first time i went to alta was when they were about 800 for a full set, probaly a year/6 months after 500 a set. its nuts now. sigh...
