The difference between reverse mesh and formula mesh is that one has a staggered lip and one is completely flat. 13 and 14 inch meshies are hard to find in reverse but not in formula. really depends on what your looking for. you can machine the centres in a lathe and bolt the centres on the back so that the effect is the same as SSR mk3's and 2's. I was quoted $450 per wheels to have custom offsets. But that was with inner and outer lips so that you can choose the Width and offset you desire instead of settling for skinny wheels with high offset. but a easier alternative to getting 13" SSR reverse mesh is to get a 14" mesh centre and make barrels that are 13" reverse mesh style because reverse mesh uses a 14" centre on a 13 inch barrel

Yeah I think I should. I was going to throw them onto dirty harry but decided they might go better on the 1000, when all polished up.

So the term 'reverse mesh' is nothing to do with what I've done but instead a description of the pattern?

I prefer dish and track without the extremely high cost of super wide wheels. Plus the rubber is difficult to find.

To remove the centres I pressed them out and to install them I froze them and then refitted them.

That is not a radical amount of negative offset -- except that Datsun 1200 has +30 positive offset stock.

I haven't heard of anyone flipping the faces. But if the flange is symmetrical I can't see how it would hurt.

Thanks guys, so the terminology is barrels & faces?

I have a set of 13 SSR's similar to what ddgonzal showed. I have flipped the faces (or the barrels depending on how you look at it) and created some nice dish but excessive negative offset. I can't afford super wide rims and tyres at the moment so I'm just checking to see if it's okay to run them reversed like I have done.
