Anyone with PIAA sport mesh wheels...?

I currently have enkei aegis wheels at 18x8.5 all around, i hate how the rear wheels have NO lip at all. Unfortently I cant buy 18 x 9.5 in the aegis because they are disconinuted . So i was thinking about selling my wheels and buying these piaa super mesh, they look good and have a nice lip. Heres a pic, hopefully someone will have them on a fd. The sizes are 18 x 8.5 42mm and 18 x 9.5 38mm so according to the offset charts these wheels should fit the fd fine. Heres a generic pic of the wheel.

How about these: 18x8.5 front with a 45mm offset and 18x10 rear with a 45mm offset. Tires can be as wide as 295/30-18 in the rear. The rear wheel has a 2 2/3 inch lip. Finish is Hyper.

No they are not. They are our wheels that we have made to our specs overseas. We make these offsets just for the RX7 and RX8.

The 18x8.5 run $225 and the 18x10 run $250
The 19x8.5 run $275 and the 19x10 run $300

offsets are 45mm front and 45mm rear for 18's and 48mm rear for 19's.

I will compile a list of weights for all sizes and offsets tomorrow and post it.

These are one piece wheels and are low pressure cast. They are not targeted to compete with the one piece forged stuff but niether is the price. The weights should however be competitive with many of the 3 piece wheels out there. You would be suprised at how much some multi piece wheels weigh and at the price they charge it is awfull. The biggest offenders are the some of the DAZZ stuff, Volk is right there as well with their multi piece stuff.


Also, these are full retail prices. I can offer some discounts for club/forum members.

PM me for info

OK Here is a list of models/sizes/offsets/weights.

Pino R (Mesh) 19x8.5 - et45 - 26 3/4 lbs
Pino R (Mesh) 19x10. - et48 - 30 1/2 lbs

Pino R (Mesh) 18x8.5 - et45 - 25 1/4 lbs
Pino R (Mesh) 18x10. - et45 - 27 -- lbs

Corsa (5 star) 19x8.5 - et45 - 27 1/2 lbs
Corsa (5 star) 19x10. - et48 - 28 1/2 lbs

Manta (split spoke) 18x8.5 - et45 - 24 1/2 lbs
Manta (split spoke) 18x10. - et45 - 26 1/2 lbs

The Manta and Pino R both come in a Hyper finish that is lighter on the face and darker on the sides. The lip is mirror polished with a clear coat. The Corsa is Silver with the same finish on the lip.

Here are some pics. The one of the Mesh is our new promo ad. Let me know what you guys think.

Any way to get a 18x9 or the 18x10s up front? I know that you can run a 18x10 and 285/30s up front with the right offset...
