    FS: cheap 3-piece 16's, mesh style

    I've heard they could be HRE or Kenisis, not sure. Why? Well, originally the wheels were 5 lug, they were welded and redrilled to 4x100. In the process they removed any markings that would tell exactly what they are. They are true 3-piece wheels, so they're not low-buck items. They are pretty light too, compared to a friends 15" Ronals, but I don't have a scale to get an accurate weight.

    set of 4 16x7.5 with a 39et. I have some 20mm spacers that'll go with them. I took them apart and painted the lips gloss black and the centers gunetal. Very interesting look, but it would be very easy to remove the black paint on the lips and paint the centers a different color.

    Tires are 225-45-16 Falken Zeix, but I wouldn't recommend running them very long because they are low on tread, Not bald and not showing threads, but low enough to warrant replacement by my standards.
    When I re-assembled them I put a bead of sealant around the wheels (inside of course) but there must be a pinhole or something I missed because 3 of them leak air. So the new owner would have to take apart the wheels and re-seal them.

    I'm looking for $600 shipped with tires, spacers, and lugnuts. A pretty cheap price to pay to have some cool 3-piece, fairly light, wheels :thumbup: I would recommend getting a stud conversion from Ireland engineering, it'll run you about 40 bucks. on with the pics.





    For a little more I will take them apart and return the lips to chrome, and paint the centers whatever color you want. PM if interested in going that route.

    Also, if you don't like the wheels, thats fine. Just don't pollute my thread moaning about how they need deeper lips, and how they don't look good in black. Belive me I've heard it, and you wont be bringing it to anyones attention that would not have noticed it.

        You would need some ultra wide-body kit for that. As well as a stockpile of wheel bearings, because you'd be replacing them every other day. Haha.

          Nice wheels.
          How wide do you think they'd be if the barrels were reversed?

            you, are a jackass :roll:

            they wont fit right when reversed, even if they did you would have a negative one-million et, with like 6 inches of dish. Which may be cool if you have a 1964 Impala... but not much else.

            For anyone interested, it is possible to get different depth lips, look up Kodiak wheels, they can/will make any size you want.
