Question Mesh Wheels...sub $250-200 for 2002 White V6

Howdy,
As my search for chrome 03 OEM cobra wheels continues...I figure I would look for an alternative if I have to buy NEW wheels...

I came across a white 03/04 cobra with BBS mesh wheels(I'm currently trying to find that picture..) and I thought it looked great. Unfortunately, I definitely don't have 2-3k to drop on wheels...

So...my question is, which mesh wheel would you go with, that can be paired with tires for around $1200-$1300. Preferably 18x9

Here are some examples of the style...
Beyern Mesh... wayyyy too expensive

ASA Ar1 Chrome...Not a bad price, but I don't really like the rivets...and I'd rather have them in chrome.

Enkei EKM3...only 18x8 though...

No one here can tell you which ones to buy, it is your money silly

I can help you to find ones that fit with proper clearance or what size/brand/type tire to install on them, but that is all.

Let's start with tires, as I think this is the MOST important part of the wheel replacement process. What kind of driving do you do? DD with an occasional stop sign launch? DD and LOTS of 1/4 mile runs? Do you head out the backroads and rip through the twisties like a knife through butter?

Of the three you have chosen, I like the first best.

Lol Jazzer...of course it's my money, I was just hoping you guys had some hidden gems that I was missing. But to answer your question, I would be in heaven IF we had twisties around here...so mostly DD w/ some launching here and there. Although, I am tempted to test out my 1/4 skills.

SaddleUp, the first one is obviously my choice as well...but it's farrrr too expensive

Well then why'd you give me a choice?

I was lucky and had someone help me get a set of oem chromie svt wheels for my termette. Else I would still have the plain alloy ones.

touche my friend...

I can't find anybody locally to even sell them to me...hence my search for mesh(something new & original)

The one person I found(20 minutes away) is MIA for the last 2 weeks or so.
