opinion on mesh wheels - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

ive been looking for wheels , i came across a few black mesh wheels to go on my steel grey 6 , what do you guys think about mesh wheels on the 6

the pic is just an example of the different brands mesh wheels but they basicly all look the same . these also come in gun metal

Personally, and obviously since I have 2 sets of them, I love Mesh wheels. They really characterize where you're trying to take your car mod-wise -- Spoked (particularly 5 or 7 spoked) Wheels give a "Sport" look, and Mesh Wheels give a "Sport-Luxury" look.

But, things to be aware of: They're a pain in the ass to clean (black should help a lot) and Rivets magnify the problem exponentially.

yeah i know what you mean i already purcheased new break pads , Hawk HPS to help out with the dust problem of the stock pads , i still has plenty of life on the stock pads since i only have the car about 4 months , but the dust on the front is crazy

I like mesh wheels. I originally wanted the BBS RGR but the price was much too high.

As for ones in your pic, they're nice except I'm not a fan of rivets. And as Sigma pointed out, the cleaning will be a nightmare.

Pics of my car can be found here. I have ASA AR1 17" wheels (copycats of the BBS wheel allready mentioned). I must say I think they look very nice on the steel gray :-D

Those are the sweetest wheels I have seen in a while!!! I have been trying to find something like that in 18" for my Black 6s. Man o man that would look hot! Right now I have Exel TZ10's in 17". The 10 spokes look very nice but I think I need to go up in size! I can't wait for my money tree to start blooming

Im all about the mesh. Im on my second pair on the 6 and am taking delivery of HRE 540Rs for the 997s on Monday. A classy, race look that never gets old.
