These are + 22mm to 25mm depending on how exactly you measure a wheels backspacing. In short, These wheels fit the car beautifully. Below are pictures of The same wheel in a 16 inch size, with the same offset mounted to an s13 in the background. In the foreground are the mesh wheels. More pictures will be taken soon.
This is the last set of an order i placed for these wheels about 3 months ago. These wheels were manufactured in approx 1990 by ARE for Eneki here in California. After the popularity of these wheels fell in the 90's, and not sold. They sat in the ARE warehouse for a few years. They were then blown out and purchased by another company. The owner of the company passed, as well as the company being retooled to manufacture 20 inch + bling rims. I came across their warehouse of New/Old Stock Wheels, and have been placing orders for them ever since. Unfortunately, selling me those wheels are a low priority of theres, so my orders are not filled quickly or correctly. I ordered 3 sets of 16's, got 2 sets of 15's, and a pair of 16's, oh well.
As well, i ordered them as 4x114, and they are 4x108. Luckily i know a proffesional Wheel machine shop, who has redrilled lots of 4x108 wheels to 4x114. They also re-drilled the last set of 15's and the pair of 16's that i got in this batch. When redrilling, the wheels will not have new holes, but the old ones will be slightly larger. You will not be able to notice, and the process does not detract from the wheels astetics or performance whatsoever. Because mesh wheels use Inserts from the factory (and small ones at that), the larger inserts installed by the machine shop are completly safe. The redrilling process is performed by a $60k computerized wheel drilling machine. Afterwards they are checked for balance to make sure they are not off-ballance. This shop drills some of the most popular wheels produced in so-cal commercially. Any poor impressions you may have reserved about redrilling, is more than likely from a "by-hand" redrilling, which is very cheap and dangerous.
I have had lots of wheels redrilled there. I have competed on a set of Rikens that where previously 4x108 and redrilled to 4 x 114 and had 0 balance issues.
So the price of these 15's is $440 without being redrilled, just if you have an application that will accept these wheels. If you want them ready to install on you're 240sx with a 4x114 drilling, the price will be $500.
