The Enkei RPM2s really caught my eye. Has anyone seen these in person or on a car? The only thing is they supposedly have a "hyper black" finish. What exactly does that look like in person?


Dave

discounttiredirect.com has them

ive seen them on a lexus down here and they look good, i wanted to get some for my car.

Very nice, but how much do they weigh?

They are light much like all Enkei wheels..

17 X 8" ones weigh only 17.4 lbs

I'm looking at an 18" x 7.5" at under 19 lbs or less.

They're light just like everyone was saying. I've got 16X7.5 Kosei K1s which I still love dearly, but I think I want something more classy rather than all out race. These wheels will slow me down a little because they'll probably weigh 5-6lbs more than the K1s when you include tires. It's either the RPM2s or the Racing Hart C2s. Whatever I get, I want to be able to run on my next car (possibly a G35 or GS400).

A black Maxima with these wheels wouldn't look too bad. I found a pic of the RPM2s on a 300ZX and they looked really nice. They're kind of a satin silver/black with lots-o-shine.

Dave

Dave, check out what I said..
they are 17.4 lbs..
i think your Kosei's are around 16-17?
Not sure

but either way, that is VERY light for a 17" wheel
I personally like the C2s just as much, I believe they have the polished lip, which is sweet with BBS style wheels such as these..
what size do you want these in, 17? 18?

My K1s weigh just over 15lbs. With my 225/50s, the combo weighs about 38lbs. You know me, I'm only going with 17s because I think 17s look plenty big on the 4th gen when it's lowered. I even think my K1s look plenty big (they look like 17s). I'd guessimate the RPM2s with 235/45s will weigh around 43-45lbs which is okay with me. We'll see what I decide when February rolls around.

BTW, thanks for postin the pic.


Dave

All Enkei wheels are not light...but those RPM2's look soooo nice!

Actually Enkei RPM2's are 16.8 in 17x8 from what I've read. www.whalentire.com is having a special on them right now, $208 in that size.

I posted about these rims:

Old thread

You can get them in hyperblack or hypersilver.
Check out Stereodude and EdV2K's cars, they have these wheels.

hmmmmmmm.... what are peoples thoughts on these on my car 18x8 in hyper silver??

Dave B, i got some pics of the RPM's on my webpage. If you want to, take a look:Pics for Dave B

See sig. Those are the 18x8s. They're not available in Hyper black anymore (to my knowledge). They're Hyper Silver now...

see now I have a delema, im trying to decide between the 18x8 RPMs and the 19x8 Axis Hagens

Hagens for sure in my opinion.

SuDZ

I don't like the Hagen. Axis Muse looks much better. I like the NEO too.

i like em cause they remind me off BBS rims i like

hey dave, i just got these 2 weeks ago, 18X8 with 245/40/18 S-03's. 35mm offset. The rims are absolutely a beaut. I have a emerald black max, so it looks even better, get the the hyper silver finish. They a opal/gunmetal (not silver) type finish that is splendid to look at. Get the kyokugen black racing lugs ($45) for reduced weight and to match the wheels, if I get pictures, I'll let you know.

please get pics I want to see these in the hyper silver finish.

What exactly do you think I've been posting pictures of? *hint* My Hyper Silver RPM2 rims */hint*

Stereodude

excuse me man I thought those were hyper black. they seen aweful dark tinted to be hyper silver.

I love those wheels. Been looking at them a lot.

Whalentire.com has the 17X7 for $197 each and 17X8 for $205 each

No, they're Hyper Silver. The Hyper Black are a like a piano laquer black. Extrememly dark with a high gloss finish.

Stereodude

I got 18x8 Hypersilver RPM2s for $199 each from Belle Tire (local Michigan chain).

Stereodude

thanks for the pics. looks a little too dark for my tastes.

I got 4 new rpm2's for 700 of ebay. 18X8

no picture will do the wheel any justice. i have a set on layaway at work and they look hot. the finish is like a dark graphite but with high polish. remeber the factory black chrome wheels on the BMW M5/M3 (one of them) these wheels hav been out for almost 2 yrs, people are slowly catching on.
