Not to hijack your thread but I'm in the market for some Ls mesh as well. How much did you pay for your set?

Then don't!
Search the classifieds and see what they go for on your own.


OP: You need "Acorn" style lugs, just like OEM. That is the style in which they seat against the rim. Then find a set of random wheel locks from any auto parts store in the same colour.

I am going to be rocking OEM NSX wheel lugs (in Black),with Black meshies. I just need to find myself a set of fairly cheap black wheel locks in OEM acorn style, should not be hard.(crosses fingers)
Good luck.

STFU

do we need the waaaaaambulance?

How hard is it to click the classified section, rather than this thread and look for a set of meshies. I bet there are a ton of threads, I can gaurantee, and I have not even searched yet.

FYI meshies can go anywhere from $300-$1000 with or without tires. In Brand new condition, or beat to ****. Look around captain ingnorance.

well not to state the obvious but asking him is a form of looking around. And all I asked for was a price, i wasnt looking for a set of meshies to buy right this second. and Im glad you got to use the waaaaaambulance remark, you must have been waiting weeks to get that one off your chest. anyways I got the info I want from you, and I appreciate the insight you gave. have an awesome day gunnis and look me up if your ever in CA, ill buy you a round:-D.
