:thumbsdown:

I had 0 offset junkyard meshies on my 14 once (burned off my tires). Had them on there for about 2 months until I decided to buy new tires. I hated every moment of it.

I don't mind old school rims on a S14, I think they look good when done right.

That's some bling factor right there. 17s and a huge *** chrome lip. That's just screaming sex.

Everyone has their own tastes. As for me...

eh it may be a fitment issue, but I don't like mesh on an S14. They look badass on an S13 tho.

I found some non mesh with a good offset, but they are pricy.

For now I"m going with 16x7, 38 offset, and no drop. I'm keeping a mostly stock look. Since the stock steel rims with fugly hubcaps are 15x6.5, 40 offset, 16x7 38 offset shouldn't look much different. I'll be happy with that until I decide to go for a more modified look and make my car less and less stock.. It will get suspension work, a 5 lug conversion, better offset, etc etc....

we were talking about "old school" wheels on an S14.

But, if you're willing to buy a set of wheels simply for the offset without a care in the world about the wheel design or style... well, those are your priorities. I recomend wheels made by Circle. 15x8 -15

Circle wheels are pretty expensive, at least to me. But they look pretty damn good
