jrock4224 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 next thing u will ask is to make sure there not step barrells...i been looking for 15's or 16's non stepped...there but there just usually richer than my wallet....i also here people are buying what ever offset and rebarrelling...again if i did that and then accidentaly curbed them ..i would tie a noose around my neck hook the other end to my bumper and let my goon learch and drag my body all over town....google them it will direct u to a couple iimporters on the first page....there were a set of 16's on one but they were 4x100 i think ...i wanna say they were staggered too...ps love the look of your z...is sik with a capital C Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 What kind of mesh?- formula mesh?- full mesh?- reverse mesh? I usually see them all the time for sale. I don't find 16s very often though... Usually 15s. Let me check my normal wheel guys and see what they have. And yes, rebarrelling is an option if you have another ~$1000. 1 Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have some staggered Epsilon mesh off an z car 16" Wanted to use them on my Dime but the offset is all wrong. Might be down to part with them. Let me know. Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 These are just some picks i had of them. I've cleaned them up a little but they are unrestored. They are a 7.5 rear and 7 front I believe. I can take more if anyone is serious and wants them. I do only have 3 of the four center caps. Thanks Bryce Link to comment
M240Z Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 baller.... Thanks jrock! I'm just kind of seeing what Ratsun has to offer, I dont have thousands of dollars to spend on wheels right now but found some 16x7 on ebay for $300 but theyre beat up kinda. I like all the meshies but the formula mesh have to be my favorite. Those epsilons are dope though! Do you know the offsets? They kind of look like 15s to me but im probably wrong, im on my cell phone.haha Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I dont know the offsets off hand. They are a 16" Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 They look like 3in lips which would be about +10ish. Link to comment

And those ones on ebay just sold :crying: I dont know how much for. Say I were to get those, I can get barrels and that'll allow me to run a different offset right? Are the barrels expensive and hard to find? How much are you looking to get for those epsilons BJW? Link to comment

Tristin Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Like I said earlier, you're looking at about an extra $1000. Depending on size of the rims, if you powder coat the centers, if you only want outer lips... Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 if? just saying Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Some people may not want to powder the centers and some may like the back spacing so they only get outer lips. You can also buy the lips and do all the work yourself to save a few dollars. It is if you have a way to split the welded 3pc. design of SSRs. Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I was looking to get $600 for the set. I could be wrong but I think they are fairly hard to find. I have still not ruled out getting them to fit my dime. Thoughts????? Link to comment
M240Z Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 The epsilons are dope but I'm going to hold out for a nice set of SSRs. I want to see them fitted on your dime though! Thanks Tristin, I never really did research on 3 piece wheels but I see why they're so expensive now:( Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah, SSR does a 3pc. welded design. The centered are fitted to the inner barrel, then the outer lip is bolted to that, and then the seam between inner and outer is welded together. After that it's basically a 1pc. wheel so if you want to change anything, you have the break the weld apart first. Link to comment
