SSR & Epsilon Wheels are the only ones ive found.. Callaway Corvettes used the Epislon on the c4.. those companies make them but they have no contact or site..

Beautiful wheels... really like the 80s/90s era mesh wheels. Those were the JDM style mesh wheels.

Every so often, this site has epsilons or SSRs, but they're speciality is JDM BBS wheels. The BBS RS is a similar mesh style rim:

Why can't somebody just make some 16-18" mesh rims with a nice dish? We don't need 3-piece high tech stuff... just a nice looking rim.

Interesting new rims from Axis...
http://www.axiswheels.com/view-wheel/axis-klassic

BBS RS replicas. They say "any" bolt pattern but I'm guessing they won't do 120.65

Yeah. I didn't know they were a rebranding, but they're all copies of the original BBS RS.

I just purchased a set like these in 17X9.5 that I might be selling since I'm looking for something bigger. Let me know if someone is interested

Ditto on the pics. Also, would you happen to know how much they weigh? I am very interested in these, especially if they weigh under 22lbs. Price? glhood@hotmail.com
