Long shot, but maybe someone has a set laying around. The 15x7 BBS meshies. 5x114.3 bolt pattern I'm in Pittsburgh. Parents are in Charlotte. Anywhere close or in between would be nice. Thanks.

If you want to expand your horizons a bit, Jeep cherokee wheels bolt on and are meshies...

How's about a set of 15x7 Ronal R9s? I may or may not have it on good authority that they look boss on the car you're shopping for.

They look good in black too- I have it on very similar authority. I may or may not have seen a set on the my car SF1 has.

Also, if one was so inclined, I happen to know that the Racingharts from a Mazdaspeed Protege fit, look awesome, and are cheaply available from myself as project wheels.... I bought a rashed set to use as winters and they've sat because it's just easier to buy more wheels with tires on them.

What is the width on the protege wheels?

7" sir. I will say, there isn't much room on the back side of it when I test fit it, but it did seem to work.

Back on the front page. Still hoping to snag a pair of these. Ronals are still tempting though.

You should definitely just suck it up and buy FDs like the rest of us.

The offset is wrong using 16" fd wheels on an fc.

He's shopping for an mx6. Still wrong, but 20mm spacers and a manly fender rolling sorts it out.

There should be a pic of Ben and I rolling fenders at 1am with a baseball bat somewhere from the $2012 Challenge on SFO... Good times!

Ohhhh. That changes it. Disregard all previous comments.

Rob R.

P.s. my comments are valid if somebody stumbles in here looking for fc fitment.

J30 meshies are 5x114.3, 15x6.5, and forged. I happen to have a set that I'd part with for $75.

Looking to part with them?

I was just down your way yesterday in Glenville.

Would these even fit? I don't really like the looks of these rims though.

Those look too heavy.

I'm not sure about the width, but the first generation Infiniti I30t also had real BBS mesh wheels in the correct bolt pattern.

BTW, I also have FDs.

Wish these were closer as well.

You'd need about a 10mm spacer. And a manly fender rolling job.

Boat anchors. FnF specials, there.
