Black Mesh Wheels for a JettaIII



Title: Black Mesh Wheels for a JettaIII

Hey everybody,

I've got a black '97 Jetta GLX that the 15" wheels just aren't doing
if for me anymore.  Plus my Virginia inspection is up next month and
my tires are getting bald so it's kind of a good time for the upgrade.

Before you say, check out TireRack and/or Discount Tires, I've already
done it and haven't really liked what I've seen.  Anyone know of other
sites that allow you to see the wheels on the cars like TireRack does?
I've also checked out some of ClubH20's member rides and other clubs
to get more ideas, but nothing's hit me.

I'm also thinking of going with 17" black mesh wheels.  In last month's
issue of European Car they had an article on a black Porsche Boxter
that had black mesh looking rims and it looked great, the only problem
is that I haven't seen black mesh rims since the early 90's...anyone
have any ideas, pics or encouragements of another way to go.

This is the closest I've found: Louie Mangine from ClubH20

Here's a picture of mine....pure stock except VentoGLX emblem,
black front grill emblem and Rear Euro License Plate Bracket
on its way from the Potter's.

Any help or ideas would be great!

Thanks!
