School me on some mesh wheels

I'm currently looking at wheel options for my FC, which is sitting on the stock phone dials right now. I'm pretty sure I want meshes along the lines of Enkei 92s/SSR Reverse Meshes. I'd like to know what my options are.

Here's the ones that I know exist:

-Enkei 92
-SSR Formula Mesh/Reverse Mesh
-BBS RS

I'm sure there's more though, and I'm sure some of y'all have experience with a version of this wheel style that you like. Fill me in. (The car is 4x114.3, and I'm thinking 16x8 or thereabouts would be ideal).

Also interested in hearing about any oddball '80s wheels y'all are into. Stuff like SSR Longchamps, Hayashi Racing Sakuras, etc. I'm new to this stuff and would like to know what I should be lurking craigslist for. TIA

Are you 100% sure you're not going to do a 5 bolt swap?

Not for the foreseeable future, at least. Might happen eventually, but I'm fine with staying 4 bolt for now.

Riken mesh wheels can be a cheaper alternative. Mostly 80s 90s vintage. Comes in lots of oddball sizes, bolt patterns, and offsets.

That's what I'm running for non-summer wheels. Classic and lightweight.

Woof, your car looks great, ice boy.

How much of a pain in the ass is the five bolt swap? Do I just need the hub and brake caliper + rotor?
