Default Hammers/ Ls Meshies on a eg.

Which in your op, look better on a eg hatch. What do you think would look better on mine and color? Thanks, b/c I have a choice and cannot decide.

Please do not flame. If you have nothing to say good, please dont say it.

For the money you'd spend getting tires from a salvage yard, you're better off just buying them new. You can get tires as low as $20 at actual tire shops.

use aircraft remover on the meshies to take the black off so their polished again...and leave them like that...an i go with the mesh any day over those "hammers" aren't those from the 92-93 gsr?? i think some LS also came with them..anyways resale value is way better with the meshie anyways...
