BBS MESH or mesh like wheels Pics please

I have been searching for pics of a fourth gen with bbs mesh pics. The same style as on the I30 or BMW.
I am considering buying a set but want to know how they will look.

just buy a set and see how they look. if you dont like em, sell it. Although I'm sure it would look clean.

Here is a link to what the wheels actually look like:

Those RPM2 really compliment the car.
I'm pretty much set on putting them on my burgundy maxima, just am a little impatient to see what they actually look like on the car.

I posted a request in the photochop section but no one wants to help me out.

Here are some good wheels with very good offsets for our cars. They don't need photoshops. It will look good no matter what although i still think the BBS mesh type are a little too old school for our cars.
BBS RS 17x8 17x9 +25et all around

SSR Varden Sports 18x8.5 +26 18x9.5 +26
I was going to get these SSR's but ended up going with something else.

If you like the no-lip concave face look:
Work Ryver 18x8.5 +32 18x9 +38

these offsets will sit the wheel very flush with the fender. dont be afraid to run low offsets, just as long as it's not ridiculously low.

^^^yea, it was just a test fit to see if I ran into any cleareance issues. The guy was nice enough to let me put two of the wheels on, because he only had two with tires.

gonna go with my truck and pick them up tomorrow!!

I'll post pics when I get ALL four tires mounted on these wheels.

Still working on the tires. I'm probably going with BFgoodrich t/a kdws 225/55/16. The reason for the sidewall is because I have 16s and want to close the fender gap without slamming it on the ground and scrapping all sorts of stuff. 225 because I'm afraid to run anthing wider because of fittment issues. The tires that are in the pics are 225/50/16.
I will probably mount them by next week!!

Mr****s95SE, I saw your new wheels. Can't wait to see those wheels. I am jealous!
