I just want a nice old school mesh style rim like BBS and EPSILON use to make in years past. Deep dish style with a 2-3" lip.

Is this to much to ask? Maybe for what I want to spend. Oh well now my anniversary is coming up so there goes my wheel money.

In your opinion, should I have taken the $550 I was offered today for my current rim/tires....16's even though I would have had to leave my car on stands for a week to 10 days when the other wheels would arrive?
