Finally got some pictures of the new wheels after I refinished them. They were super easy to take apart and I had the centers re powdered and the lips polished. I must say that if you are in socal and want wheels powder coated go to olympic in santa ana. You may pay a little more but the quality is amazing. They are perfect, and I have seen a lot of freshly powder coated stuff from other shops in the area and nothing compares to this (I work at america's tire company so I mount a lot of freshly refinished wheels). Anyway the last pics I posted were with taller tires and before the kei office xr's so enjoy! btw I love the meshes on an s14 if you dont its cool my preference, I think without any aero it looks old school with the meshies looks very much like an old school race car.

Those are some beautiful rims you got there son. Are the black meshes still for sale? What are the sizes on the old ones, I might have to take those off your hands. What are the sizes on the new BBS as well, just for f's sake.

thanks for the compliments guys I really like them too. I cant believe how much better they look with the polished lip instead of the machined lip.

I like the wheels... I think they look a little odd b/c they are bigger meshies they we are used to. I'm used to seeing meshies in 14's lol. Anyway, nice wheels bro. If those other meshies weren't 5 lug... I'd grab them up!

there was a set of 17" gold ssr meshies for sale they were alittle wierd since they were so big. What I like about mesh wheels and especially ones with a nice big lip is they look bigger than they are. My 16"s next to my friends 17" konigs the wheels look the same size. And mine look 100 times better :)

Yeah the VW guys are all about the bbs's thats where I got most of my info for the resto on them. any pics of yours?

are those bbs rs's?
Yeah they are rs's, I guess I was lucky to find a set with everything original centers and all. Even had the bbs valvestem caps.
