Recommendations for mesh wheels?
 
I want to get a set of mesh wheels for my FC. I want something in a 17x8 preferrably, 32-35mm offset. I cant seem to find anything that I can afford.. Now, Im not opposed to spending money on a quality wheel, but I just cant afford a $600+ a piece BBS wheel. Here is a picture of about exactly what I am looking for ( I believe it is a BMW 3-series wheel). Anyone have any suggestions?

After seeing the Enkei RPM2s on ilike2eatricer's car ( https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...5&pagenumber=1 ), I absolutely love em and 17x8 costs $285.99.

And I didnt even look for the cheapest one yet, this was the first thing that popped up in google.

Hmm..those are very nice, just wish they had more of a lip ( yea I know I'm picky.. :p: ) Thanks for the suggestion though.

I couldn't really find any in those sizes.

The BBS RX is available in 17x8 +42 for $330 on tirerack.

I really like how the CCWs look, plus they're reasonably priced and light.

I have CCW's and they're an awesome build and light... check them out

Rxmfn7 06-27-04 11:58 AM

CCWs are nice no doubt, but I dont think they make any FC friendly offsets. I could probably give them a call and have a set custom made, but once again, that would be alot more money than Im looking to spend. Id like to stay around $1000 for a set.

Does anyone know anything more about these?

They are Gewalt wheels, which I think may be a division of work? Im not sure, but all I can find is a few pictues here and there, or a website in Japanse. I havent been able to find anything about pricing, or sizes.

I'll 3rd the CCW wheel suggestion. I think they're $450 a wheel, and great quality. I'm not sure if they make them for FC's though.

I'm saving for a set now, I'm looking to get 17x9 front and 17x10 rear.

WOW, those are some nice wheels. What color is that, how much are they, and arent those the wheels Mazda chose for the Spirit R?

Sexy wheels.

Diamond Black; ~$500 each in 17"; I believe so.

They're not cheap, but they *are* BBS quality and relatively lightweight.

And they look something like this.....
 
Here they are on the Beast from the East:

But, as stated earlier, they are a bit more than you are looking at spending. I got them from Wheel Source shod with Proxes and locking lug nuts (plus new lug nuts) for around $2700 shipped.

Those are great wheels. I had a set on my FD and it looked amazing. I crashed the car and lost 2 wheels. I've been looking for a replacement since. Let me know if you figure out how to contact them because I need 2 wheels and their site shows no contact info!!!!

I am very desperate, keep in touch!
