New wheels

[brainfood]

I just put on my new bbs mesh 16x7.5 +14/16x8.5 +14 wheels and wanted to post some pics.

I am saving up for coilovers right now so it will be lowered soon.
I am thinking about taking the wheels apart and getting the centers powder coated black and polishing the lip up. I am going to wait till after I get coilovers though.

i never really liked mesh wheels on s14's, but oh well, they look like they fit right, and BBS are good wheels!. have fun

Those wheels are the ish,very respectable mesh wheel! Nice size an with a drop an skinnier tires will be very classy lookin.Fyi,those wheels sell on the vw forum refinished upwards of 1500$.

those would look sweet on my s13, i really like them.

What the hell kind of exhaust is that? Talk about angle!

Wheels look sweet, car just needs to be LOWWWERRRR.

Its a custom exhaust, I bought the car with that and a cheap (super cheap) intake on it. I bought a new k&n universal cone and made a custom bracket and now the intake is how it should be, now I need to deal with the exhaust. I am picking up a stock exhaust for now to replace it. I paid $750 for the wheels and they are super clean the only reason I want to refinish them is I like polished lips better than machined clear coated lips. I will probably just polish them up and leave them silver since I can do that for free. btw anyone know what kind of tool I need to get the wheels apart? also what I should re-torque the little bolts too when I put them back together. The wheels were in such good shape they even came with the original bbs valve caps. The tire size right now is the stock 205/55/16 I will probably go with 205/50/16's when I drop it. The car is comming together though bought it about a month and a half ago and I have done the 5speed swap fixed a bunch of little things and the wheels. Next month I will buy the kei office xr's and some suspension bits. Then I am going to focus on stiffening the chassis with some chassis bracing. I wish I would have gotten into dd20 oh well.

nice...Gonna be a pain to clean though..

[holisticbeatz]

Those wheels are ugly.. 16'' mesh wheels just don't look right on an S14..

[BSeay]

Those wheels are horrible! they dont do anything for me on an S14...sell them to someone with an S13 and get something better!

[AlligatorBling]

if your going to get rid of them, ill trade you my toshiba vcr, you cant beat that man.

[Tygma]

sell them to someone with an S13 and get something better!

Like ME!

they look pretty good on that car though. the exhaust though man.. oh well, at least your getting it taken care of. pretty nice offsets n shit.

[24Zero]

Dude they look like they belong on a Cadi

[ThatGuy]

I like the wheels alot, just not on your car. Sorry Bro. Just my opinion. If you like them, then I say keep them.

[old_s13]

i agree, right wheels - wrong car.

plus i hate the site that hosts your pics, they have spyware and other crap on there. change domains.

[R Drifter]

keep em, who cares what everyone says, if u like em then just rock em

[brainfood]

To each is own, I like them and once the car is lowered they will look nicer. Plus they were a good price and will make perfect competition wheels. I wont run 17"s on the track until I am making more power its just a waste. And since the stock wheels are too narrow these wheels will do what they need to do. If I could get steel wheels that were this size and this lite I would run those instead, heck they would be a lot cheaper. They serve their function and they look nice doing it.

btw: what site does everyone else host on?

I wouldnt ever change the wheels because someone on the internet told me they were ugly. I chose them because its the style I like. The car is a pos right now I will be the first to admit it but at least it runs strong and it is something I can improve my skills with and eventually it has just as much potential as any other 240 out there. It will just take a little work and lots of $$$.

[AlligatorBling]

my toshiba vcr for your wheels, come up off them man.

[rainier]

they dont look that bad. yeah just show more pics once u get some coilovers.

[blitz240a]

I think they look awesome. Will be even better when you get the coilovers.
Keep up the good work.

I'm in agreement with most everyone else, I think they belong on an S13.
