UMM... need help quick. MESH wheels?

I found a set of wheels for the TC today... and I need some input. 


I think I am looking at a 15X7 Enkei 3 peice mesh wheel gold colored.  There are no center caps, and the person thought that they were Rikken Mesh wheels.... but they don't look like any of the Rikkens that ive seen.  They look like this the wheels pictured in post #45 here: http://forums.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1214493&page=2  only without the center cap and in gold color.


Is it worth a decent drive to pick these up?  50 bucks is the price for all 4... no curb rash

For 50 bucks, I'd say so. You could easily flip them for more, they're pretty popular with the four eye stang guys.

I would love to have a set, I think they look great.

I'd be on 'em like a fat kid on a Twinkie :headbang:

I had a set like that on my '86 Cougar, although they were American Racing's version.

Looking at them closer, Id say they are the two piece Enkeis.  It looks like a bunch of 12 point bolts connecting the center piece to the main portion of the wheel. 


I might be picking them up on Sunday!

I had a set of 15x7 are wheels, but I got rid of them when I upgraded to 17's.  I woulda kept em for sure if they had been 16"s.  They went on my buddies merkur.

I'm seeing a lot of wheels that look exactly like the ones I might be buying.  The BBS RS series looks pretty spot on.

I like them. I was never able to find a decent set, so I ended up settling for Turbo Coupe wheels and refinishing them. Kind of regret it now, the TC wheels are pretty boring, and a dime a dozen. :/

The wheels in post 45 are Enkei 2 piece 16" If you are looking at a set of these, they are very nice wheels. I have them on my 'Bird, and I would never let them go for a mere $50!!!
