Dear god they are beautiful! :lol: Besides some earily flat spoked BBS race wheels I think Southern Ways are the best looking mesh rims for Jap rigs.

Epsilons are the ones you can change out the barrels right?

Where can one buy those?


BTW, the wheels looks great :tu:

Look great, I have to agree with the previous poster, Epsilon mesh really are one of the best. What size tire are you planning to run on the 11 wides? Last I checked there weren't very many wide selections in 14" available anymore.

Man... You have no idea how bad I've been looking for some tires for these. 14" tires are the hardest to come by since there aren't much sizes to choose from. I'm going for a stretch on the first tire set up. Then later on in 2013, a wider tire set up with flares.

BTW it's going on this

lol^

Epsilon Mesh were a dealer option for BMW 2002's over there in the states right? At least i remember reading that.
I'd kiss a baby for a set of these in 4x100.

205/55 and 225/50 Toyo R888s are about the widest short tires you can get in 14s.

195/60 is the next real option for anything decent.

I've decided that I'll be suiting these wheels with 205/55 Toyo R888s all around. Roll and pull the rears and hope and pray they will work out.

Jace, I'm not quite sure what car were meant for but I feel in love as soon as a saw my first set in 4x114.3... I just had to get a set

Why on earth did you go with 11" ET0?!

If you had N2 flares to fill out, then i would understand...

Why? 1. Because I love the oldskool Japanese style wheels and tire fitment. Just wish I had Hakosuko to put these on instead of a miata but I can't get my hands on one yet.

2. It's different

3. Because I can!!! :mrgreen: .

I'll make it work for the better in the end. I did get tires on the 11's...

Got me a fender roller began rolling the fenders and with the help of the owner of the shop, we were able to get it flush. Still need to do a test run on them but you can fit about 4 sheets of paper in the between the wheel and fender. Still need to finish the other side for a test ride.

I really want to build a hakosuka skyline and put these wheels on it

Looks almost as cool as my old Miata. :P That stretch is incredible.

Quick update:

WideLoad

Now I need a stiff set of coilovers. I have way too much travel right now and it makes me sick listening to the top of the tire rub against the top fender well. Wish I could go lower too. Oh well.

BTW put your finger where the exhaust would go. Looks 10x better since without the exhaust there is an illusion that makes the right side seems like it has more camber when it doesn't
