Default Best Affordable Mesh Wheels?

Title says it all. I like mesh wheels on tc's, when done right. I know their is no "best" wheel, but what do you think looks good at an affordable price.

Oh, btw, affordable for me is like 1300, not including tires.
I know, I know, I'm broke as he!l.

Had them. Loved them. They really not bad, but they're a b_tch to keep clean.

You said you wanted rather cheap so they're a good alternative.

I know, I know. Did u have the black ones?
I think I've only seen a couple on tc's before.

Edit: I'm guessing you did, considering I just checked your garage haha.

I would say its about an inch. There's a side view below.



The wider 18x9.5 +30 have a larger lip, also available in 18x10 +30, which will have the identical lip size and appearance. The only difference will be a half inch larger barrel.

just looked up bbs lm's and pretty much my conclusion is: bbs lm > all mesh wheels

However, am I missing something wheeldude? Why can't I find these on your site?
and x2 for the price for them.

Edit: just kidding, I just clicked on your link and answered both of my questions. Definitely a possibility. Just wish they were completely black, , or gold with silver lip, instead of just plain silver, or hyper black. Make sense?
