Good luck man! With that kind of budget I'm sure you'll end up with a great wheel (as long as it's not that one; hehe, j/k)

When I hear mesh wheels, I think of the 89-91 T2 rims. Is this a mesh wheel? My future rim:



Volk SE37K Bronze or Gunmetal

I don't consider that a mesh wheel although industry standards probably would. I can't see how a wheel could be mesh if none of the spokes ever cross each other. Turbo and Vert wheels are deffinitely mesh.

I think black or bronze wheels look best on white FC's, those wheels would look awesome on your car AE Turbo. I am personally going to get some black 5 spokes for my white 7.

Advan SA-3R's (those are Gen I rims, but there's a newer Gen II style) - nice rim, but it's hard to pull off trying to make them look nice.&nbsp They look too ricey on a stock car, but if you have a wild body kit, that seems to work...

I personally dont like 3 spoke wheels, but the ones on that 300ZX are the least ugly ones I've seen I suppose. What I still don't get is everyone's obsession with "JDM" stuff. And I'm not just talking these rims...this is just a general observation. It's like people think, "man, that sure is ugly, but it looks JDM (whatever the hell that looks like), so I like it!" I don't care what country something comes from, ugly is ugly in any language and in any hemisphere!

And good luck with the rims...I'm sure you'll find some nice ones! Be sure and post some pics when you get them on your car.

I just don't like the chrome trispoke kick-ons that some ricers have. Those wheels are the old school.

Hmm....JDM stylin' plus a good match for the FC. I know, my wheels. R32 GTR rims. Gotta love 'em.

I wasn't going for the "JDM" thing, but I always liked these wheels on FC's. One set of used OEM wheels for $500 plus cheap shipping. That's all it cost me.
It took me a long time before I figured out what the term JDM meant. Jeez, after living there for over four years that was new to me. They have boneheads over there paying bucks to have "USDM" parts. Go figure.

sorry dude but those rims are about the ugliest things I have ever since and for $700 a peice forget it maybe if they were free. I would rather roll on some hubcaps, the crome ones.

i personaly love 3 spokes. i wish i had the money to buy some Advans, i think they look sweet on a T2. the split 3 spoke is the only acceptable 3 spoke though. the chrome cheapo rims suck. if you like em man, get em. im behind you. but one suggestion--get then in 17s or at least 16s. the photoshop pics look like 15s and look too damn small. they do look kinda gay when they are small.
