[RT-AWD]

So I recently watched the movie 'The Wraith' and I decided i want Mesh Wheels like the Enkei Klassics seen here:

I'd want the black with the chrome or silver lip. I've found a few third party brands such as the axis klassics and in my color combo:

HOWEVER! None will fit our cars. Help me out please! as a reminder our rim size is 5x114.3 +35 and I'm looking for 17x8 or, 17x8.5.

Could always get them re-drilled.

You're looking for what's called the BBS RS wheels. They're pretty pricey and very "hot" right now with VW guys or whatever.

You could chance it with these but I might say no:

Also this should be in appearance.

There are some stock wheels that look similar to that. Think they came on the early lasers. Btw I own the wraith on dvd. Great movie!

Actually +40 works just fine and should be a lot easier to find.

Don't the old Jeep Cherokee mesh wheels fit our cars?

 

[RT-AWD]

well I want 17x8 or 8.5 not going skinnier or wider than that.

When it comes to re-drilling, what is involved and could the shop make +15 wheels into +35? Any idea on a cost?

I simply meant re-drilling the lug pattern. Not sure on the cost honestly, just shop around locally, Shouldn't be too expensive.

I knew what you meant, just wasnt sure if there were certain limitations etc

CCW lm 20's or you could go with the replicas XXR 531's. which I personally love. They are not really mesh wheels but look good imho.

Not in a 8-8.5 on a 1g if you want to run a decent amount of tire...

What's the price range before I post links to BBS wheels of all sorts? Are we talking Volk monies or XXR monies?

 

[RT-AWD]

We are talking a max of $1,000. Do not think about tires. As I have tires that I would but on the rims.

 

[LandoAWD]

This is harder than I thought. The majority of the BBS, and other big name wheels, are staggered fitment in any offset close to +35.

Privat makes 8" +35 meshies... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...523FF51731B.dtd203?wd=17&bp=5|114.3|4.5&rw=-1

haha well after some deliberation, I think I've decided on the xxr reaxion 531. Not exactly what I originally wanted but I've decided they are meant for sport and look more aggressive and the meshies are meant for the VIP look and not what I'm after.

I think I remember that, it was a special edition car and they were all green and gold.

Time...wasted.

Those only come in 16s, homie.

 

[RT-AWD]

the xxrs dont, there is a 17-19 variation. Its not time wasted... I'm very indecisive haha. Probably will change my mind 100 times before i buy. Will those privat meshies be alright for street/strip?

The ones you like are only 15-16"...I saw that in your link

Privat is an Enkie line. Id Ass-U-Me they's be fine. I don't see how they could be worse than Rotas or XXRs.

Edit: That Ebay auction for the knock-off RS wheels is pretty sweet. No idea on quality/mfr.

I am also a fan of rims like that, I have 91 Grand Prix rims on my 2g. There cheap 16x8 and are made by Enkei for G.M. You can look at my pics and see them. I'm polishing the lips on them right now. I'll post a pic up soon.

I know there only 16's, but there easy to find.
