      Recommendation for mesh style pro-touring wheels

      Seems like there are several vendors making wheels today andI was curious to know if anyone could recommend cost effective wheelproviders. I realize Forgline is thebest but unfortunately I can't really afford there wheels and ultimately I ammore seeking the look rather than the performance values they bring. I am looking for 19" or 20 " 5 on 5if that helps. maybe something around 500-600 a piece would be the max. not sure if that is even possible but I figure it's worth a try.




      Thanks

      I've been looking at the Beyern Mesh wheels for my car - don't know if that's what you're looking for but they are a nice looking wheel and run about $225 each from Discount Tire Direct. If my figuring is right, their 15mm offset wheels in 18x9.5 should fit a First Gen F-Body with no problem. You didn't mention your car so I don't know if this will fit yours or not. The only negative I can find is that they are 5x120mm instead of 5x120.6mm (5x4.75).

      We have used XXR wheels on several lower-budget builds, and they're pretty good quality. Weldcraft Wheels out of Michigan can widen them if you want wider than 9-10". Many local wheel/tire companies offer them.

      http://image.hotrod.com/f/featuredve...+rear_view.jpg for an example of a mesh style that I think you're referring to!
