I always appreciate a good mesh wheel and polished/black Rikens look great on roadsters. Neil showed up with his '66 on today's fun run. He's owned it for 41 years!!!

these are 15" with sticky Direzza Z1 SS tires:

That looks great. Nice tire choice.

I dig the mesh wheels. I've sort of been looking for a set of Enkei 92s for a set of street wheels. A set of 15x7s wearing 225/45s would be sweet. (Yeah they might not fit, but I have had a set of 225/50/14s on the car so they might.)

The Rikens look cool but for some reason they seem to look great on some cars and not quite as good on others. I'm not sure why. I think it might be a color thing. My friend's car (the first roadster I had ever seen, or ridden in) had them and I thought they looked awesome, but I've never thought they'd look good on my car for some reason.

Coincidentally, the wheels are on the back of a total P.O.S. parts car that has been appearing as a trailer in a few day dreams. I've been trying to figure out how to stick the first 1/4ish of the front of the car to the back 1/3ish. ...all a useless exercise because there is a reason it is a parts car.

Now back to our regularly scheduled wheel discussion.

I think I have 3 from a parts car I picked up. I will have to take a closer look. They are definitely meshies, just have to check and see who makes them and what size they are.
