99 - 2.3 not 3.0

But I like the color, just not the mesh style, right track though

99 2.3 and 3.0 wheels are the same. They differ in 98 though.

i like the mesh, theyd look good in gold.

No, they're not the same

I like the tenzos more, but styles, pick the style you like the most, bronze would be incredible

earlier today, i almost commented saying the first set would probably look better, but i'm glad i held back. the second set you mentioned (first of the ps's, darker in color) definitely looks better... i guess that just proves that rims can look good sitting in the box or wherever, but nothing shows what they'll look like except being on the car (or at least ps'ed onto the car)...
