Default Any of you guys run this type of mesh wheel?

I know this type of mesh wheel style is usually found in 14" or 15" sizes and put on old Datsuns, Corollas, BMWs, etc from the 70s or so. I think a blown up 18" version might look kinda nice on my car.

My rear tire kinda delaminated partially today so there is no way I can drive it for now, and I don't know if I want to get some new tires and put on my 17" wheels, throw my 6 spoke 350Z 18s on it, or just get a cool set of old school looking wheels such as these. They're 18x8 and +35 or +38.

I feel like that wheel would work well on a pre 97 style SC. Probably not as well with the later body kit though.

Yeah, mine's a 93, pearl white. I've seen them on some VWs and stuff but obviously that's not the same to get the proper feeling.

Nothing wrong with that style, some SC's came with these... Looks good in certain color combo's, bad in others. BBS or rep's might be what you're looking for.

Vip Modular makes a wheel in a similar style in all sorts of sizes. They're expensive though.

Well I was looking at the specific wheel I posted a picture of. It's the wheel I was interested in, not just a regular mesh wheel.
