Exclamation I'm taking a chance (SSR Mesh)

What do you guys think of the SSR Mesh wheel? I think it would look pretty cool on the RX-8. The wheel is a big break from the normal 6-spoke, 5-spoke, and modern mesh wheels. Insane. :D

I don't know, but they apparently are used on much smaller cars than the RX-8, such as the AE86 Corolla GT-S, and the SW20 MR2. I am seriously thinking about getting these wheels, in a 17 x 8.5 and 17 x 9.5, if that is possible. 18-inch SSR Mesh's don't exist for a reason. I wonder what kind of offset I need to clear a BBK.

Not my style either, but I have to agree with being a little tired with all the 5 spoke designs.

Don't like.

Mesh wheels look good on older cars or luxury cars IMO.

Not so bad choice, although it takes time to clean up brake dust :o I wanna see how would it look like with 17inch.

See this site for your reference.
