anyone have comments about either?? how are either brands for quality?? how heavy are the 17's.. i want 5 spoke decently light rims... but not break the bank. any comments, let me know.

 

ummm enkei RS5...

 

Enkei has the name, and the RS-5 is a cool, popular style. They are pretty light (atleast compared to some rims), but you must keep in mind that they will expose everything in your wheelwell (just a hint because I have thin 5-spoke type wheels and my wheelwells are dirty as sh*t and everyone can see it).

I've got the Rage 5.0's on my Max & love them.
Take a look at my pic. This is how they look.

 

they look nice, now how much do they weigh?? i like the enkei too.. i dont know!! AHHHH

 

maine~
what size rims are those? they look 15" ish, im going for 17s i think. just wondering if they will look bigger... thanks again

 

Maine, I think you should have gotten some bigger rims. No offense. I have the 16 X 7" RS5's on my Civic and they are pretty light in comparison to my old rims (Konig Octanes),and they are lighter than the stock 14" wheels that came on my car new. But he is right about the fact that everyone will see your insides. I will be painting my calipers and sanding some blemishes this weekend Here are the sizes and weights.


15 x 6.5 15.4 lbs
16 x 7 17.6 lbs
17 x 7 19.8 lbs
18 x 7 21.56 lbs

 

thanks about the weights... blemishes where?? i'll paint my calipers, but what else do you see?? rusty black under body pieces??

 

I don't know what the weight is on them. I got them from WWW.tires.com . If you call them they might be able to give you the actual weight. Yes my wheel size is 15".

 

15's.. Aw man..

 

GuidoSST just got a set of the Enkei RS7s in the 16" size for his 95 GLE. They look nice and are pretty light. The tire wheel combo is within 3lbs of my 16" Kosei K1 setup. My 16" K1s look slightly bigger, most likely due to my drop (he isn't lowered).

Wow that is light. I think our stock 16's are like about 25 pounds each from what I have been told. Plus the 18's must fill them in nice.
