i dont even want to take the time to reply to them and correct them because it just amazes me that a company that large wouldnt know a simple thing like that, even take the 5 mins to look up what high disk means.

Why don't you contact the manufacturer instead of the retailer.

Then with the specs given to you by the manufacturer you can get in touch with whichever retailer you choose to purchase the wheels.

Well they are mostly for the Honda crowd from what ive seen.
So maybe just take your bu$ine$$ elsewhere.

#1. they dont make the wheels anymore otherwise i would buy a brand new set.
#2. see #1

and yea i know they are for the honda crowd, but honda's cant run big brakes?

Are you even sure Reverse Mesh was offered in high and low disk? I don't remember them giving you a choice.

What kind of "big brakes" are you running anyway? I'm pretty sure a 7.5 +20 wheel will not clear a big caliper regardless. I could be wrong though.

[silviaguy240]

z32 brakes and mesh have 0 clearance unless they have high disk. and yes i did some research when i was buying another set of 5 lug mesh and found out SSR was the only company that offered high disk on mesh wheels.

Password JDM ? There's no FR love over there.

I fucking hate and I mean hate password jdm.

They used to be in the same business complex as my uncle's company.

So I stop by a few times to ask questions or try to find parts through them.

Total assholes who don't care about SR or FR love. They just want your money and then kick you out.

Everyone there was stuck up and had this look like I was wasting their time. Needless to say, fuck them.

[kognition]

I know that ALOT of aftermarket businesses suck at customer service. They do not understand how hard people have to work for their money. And that can make or break a business. I know those full color full page ads i am seeing
cost some bank. Kognition says, "try harder, and be excited!"

thanks to them, you can now have SIX TOWHOOKS!!!!http://passwordjdm.com/Benen-Industr...P2062C296.aspx

I don't think any mesh are offered in different disks. Maybe if you bought some thick enough spacers you could gain clearance that way.

But Most all flat faces like mesh will have a hard time if any to clear bb's.

Anyways, maybe it's for the better.

Mesh are outdated.

[SiI40sx]

mesh arent ment to be ran with bb kits anyway, cuz then u cant show off your bling!!!

[exitspeed]

Not that I purchase a ton of parts, but I shy away from places that don't specialize in FR cars. You tend to get responses like you posted.

[cdlong]

i was interested in their solid tower bars a while ago. nothing for the s14 so i asked. they said they would be introducing something soon. that was two years ago.

[LongGrain]

i used to deal with them when i had a civic, never had a problem. but i can definitely understand that they are geared for the honda crowd.

[Quail]

Atleast they replied I guess. A lot of companies I've dealt with would of ignored the email alltogether if they didn't know the answer!

[HyperTek]

cant hate them for not knowing... Can only hate if they have bad service... but they should have some research on the product.. If teh wheels cant fit a 300zx, then they wont fit your car..

What brakes do u have? do you have Z32? ask them if they fit 300zx, if not, then those wheels will be out of hte question. dude 15x7.5, why even bother lol... The only brakes that might fit those are Q45

Yeah, sometimes maybe a new employee might not be familiar with wheel fitment

I know people who have been in the industry a LONG time who have no idea on wheels

You gotta remember that a lot of Honda guys typically don't use special face on their wheels

Sometimes too, if say, you don't specialize in wheels, then its an honest mistake to not know about wheel specifics

So give them the benefit of the doubt, no need to put em on blast

[drift freaq]

I have owned SSR Reverse Mesh. They will not repeat will not clear big brakes. The only brakes you could possibly get away with running with them might be Q45. You could fit 180sx brakes under them but ya they are not big brake friendly.
