    Default Can you identify these mesh wheels?

    Found these for sale and thinking about buying them, but seller isn't sure what they are. He did say he took them off a fox. Can you guys ID them?

    They are either Enkei or American Racing wheels. They are the five lug versions of these.

    Look like 16" wheels in the picture, but can't tell for sure. If 16" definitely worth picking up if you have the time and money. Even the 15" are probably worth it, just fewer "Good" tire options in 15". Good Luck!

    Probably should have mentioned they are 15" and he says they're American Racing brand. I already have a nearly new set of 15" tires so I'm fine with that. He's asking $275 and it's roughly a 2 hr drive. Are they worth it?

    The 15" size limits tire options. They are still out there, just not as many high performance tires if that matters. Depending on offset and obviously bolt pattern would determine if they are worth the drive or not. The $275 doesn't sound bad to me depending on overall condition.

    I won't be back in town for another 10 days. So I believe I may just give him a yell when I get home and see if he still has them. He said I'm the first person that has contacted him about them and they've been posted for a while. So he'd probably take less. Plus, 2 of the tires are in great condition, according to the ad.

    5 lug 16" ARE or Enkei wheels are *sweet*. They bring a lot of $$$ generally.

    Well he says these are 15"... which I'm fine with. I need an excuse to use a near perfect set of tires I have sitting in the shed.
