These mesh wheels are available from tirerack.com

I know it's not the look that most of you guys/girls like, but if you want Euro-Japanese style, then these are great wheels to consider.

They are made by ASA wheel (S. Korea) and are designed and manufactured under exclusive licence by BBS. They are not inexpensive gravity cast wheels, but instead are low pressure cast/shot peened wheel construction.

The 16" wheel size is available in either ET38 or ET45, so that makes for some flexible application options.

One-piece, motorsport-styled mesh spoke
Durability and strength optimized
Rivets and machined lip add modular look

Finish Shown: Silver w/Machined Lip

Wheel Offset: 38mm or 45mm
All installation hardware included at no charge.

I like them; I think the BBS mesh-style wheel is classic on just about any car.

I'm generally not a rivet fan either, but with only 16 and rather subtle looking too, they make the wheels look like expensive modular ones.

So, this is one of the very few wheels where I actually like rivets!

I really like the split spokes. :wub: Not sure about the rivets, I'd have to see them on the car.

The rivets are actually allen screws.

I have always liked these wheels but I can't help but think VW when I see them.

Yeah... I know... but spend some time in Japan... and you'll begin thinking Japanese everytime you see this style wheel.
