    SSR reverse mesh 4x100 16x7 et27 and 16x7.5 et34

    Aloha,

    here's my newest project, Im hoping they'll clear IE's 310 BBK's

    Replacing lip and barrel from damaged from 16.7.5 et34 with parts from this other 16x8 et35 rim., well see if it works.

    ordered this gold set of 16x7 et27 and 16x7.5 et34

    I like that. I have bee a fan of the reverse mesh for quite some time, it just looks right on the E30.

        what is a "reverse mesh"?

        To me, the mesh looks to be of the similar style as any other wheel...

        p.s nice looking wheels!

          Aloha Friday, thanks for thumbs up.

          FedEx just teased me with one out of two boxes, so, I'll tease along :) ... received one 16x7 et27 and one 16x7.5 et38 ...

          Reverse mesh has no step lips, for a sleek look.

          As far as clearing bbk, they require a 6mm spacer to clear., used Borbets 57.1 to 73mm dentering rings for perfect fit

            I hate to admit it, but I kinda wish the centers were less big, and the lips more stepped. Love this style of wheel, though.

                Me too, planning on streching them like this with proper lips and barrels.

                              Interesting concept, the reverse mesh - I like and they fit even with spacers and that offset!!
