sadly I think mesh wheels in anything under 18 look horrible. I think it has a lot to do with having a lip and the way the spokes extend from the hub to the lip, there is not enough space for them to expand and look right. 18's in mesh look fabulous though!

see...when you post stuff like that, i want to get full blown 18 inch LM's, im already in a dilemma lol

im so sick of volks, the only ones i wanted were se37k, bbs look just like those mesh style wheels, except bbs rules that style!
i think bbs is almost as light and strong as the volks, i like bbs' quality
german shieza quality even though theyre made in japan

I hate to burst your bubble but the BBS's are not anywhere close to being the same weights as the volks if your comparing LM's to like TE37's or something.

The CE's will still cut about 4 pounds off each of the 17" RGR's and give more contact patch.

And CE's will look bigger due to it's 1 piece design.

Any way you slice it, Volks are lighter.
