-Enkei CP-1's

-18x8.5, 5x114.3 bolt pattern

-24lbs. Not as heavy as I thought, but not light. What do you guys think?

Check out the email I recieved from a website that is selling them (I finally found a place!)

Keep in mind I will be boosting (SC arrives monday) so power above 3000 probubly won't be an issue. I am however concerned about initial power in first gear and how bad it would be lagged.

What happened to the other mustang rim knockoffs you got off ebay?

After finding out they weigh 30lbs. each and were selling in another auction for $50 cheaper, I scrubbed them.

And as a service
 

I say lightning speed sir...lightning speed

I figured it had something to do with the weight. Those were some extremely heavy rims. Did you putthem back on E-bay or just try and drop out of the auction?

SuDZ

Well, since I wasn't the technical winner, I had the choice wether I wanted them or not. I never paid.

Colonel - :laugh:

Nice. Glad it worked out for you.

SuDZ

Thanks. :)

::cough:: Start making some of your own decisions, you are a big boy now.. ::cough::

get rims and surprise us all;)

beam me up scotty, go for it :thumbsup: they're hot

and you never ask maxima.org for opinions?

u are gay.





:p

Nice Rims...Did he happen to give a price quote for them, besides shipping?

do i really.. hmm interesting

Yea, he is offering me a special price $650 for the set brand new.

They look like the new Ford lightning rims.

kids call craig craigy molarky im one of his friends and thats his nick name...

I think that is one reason he likes them. He likes the Lightening rims if I am not mistaken.

SuDZ

Craigy, those rims look like arse man. I'd rather see some REAL Cobra SVT rims before those

How do they look like @ss? It's amazing how people's opinions can vary soo much..

i like them personally, i'd try to find alittle lighter than 24 lbs, but that's not bad for 18 x 8.5

:werd:

:stupid:

eh... they look ok...

Just get em..........

In Hyberblack........

There's nothing lighter then 24lbs. in 18x8.5 that suits my tastes and is affordable. Those damn Eagle Alloys 18x8 Saleen replica's were 30lbs. each! I'll just run the 3.125 pulley to compensate for lost power. :cool:

Aaron95SE They aren't available in anything but silver powdercoat. They have a small lip but the rim merges into it, so I couldn't get it polished, and I won't have a dark rim w/o a polished lip for contrast.

The guy is willing to sell them to me for $650 shipped. I think i'm gonna go ahead and get them, I really think there going to look great on my car. Welp, there goes my clutch money. :D

you do ask us for our opinions a lot and you have changed your mind countless times...:p



so i agree with Jason...



also.. did you order them?

hmmmmm

Do you really need 18x8.5s, or do you just want to run a really wide tire so you feel like you are on the same level as the domestics :P

My Enkei NT03s only weigh about 21 lbs., and the 18x9s weigh in at 23lbs.

I almost never see anyone with NT03s, and they are pretty light so I thought I'd fill you in.
-hype

Enkei RPMs?? :gotme:

I would say Blitz Technospeeds... but thats if your budget was... ehhmmm new car flexible

sorry - i dont like them - i liked your saleen rims better

Well I like to see what you guys have to say a lot. What's wrong with that? :(

The $650 price is shipped and is a special offer. Normally they go for $180 each + shipping. Only catch is, they won't have wheels to ship till Jan 15th since they are out of stock and on backorder. I am torn and have to mon. evening to decide.

Carnal, Blitz Technospeeds? You've gotta be sh!tting me...I'd rather buy a Supercharger! ..........Oh wait, I did. :kiss: :D

:) you are missing out :) :kiss:

Craig, stop asking us... you're starting to sound like dmbmaxima did before he bought his wheels. Personally I don't think you should buy wheels until you look at them and think "I don't give a sh*t what those .org monkeys think, these are hot.". Then you can buy them. :)

Good lord Craig, I'm surprised you don't ask us which leg you put though your pants first when you get dressed in the morning. Geez.

I like the rims. While the 4th Gen is rounded in many aspects, I think that the angular look of those rims, especially in a nice LARGE size like the 18x8.5, will compliment the max nicely. Many 5 spoke designs (like mine, for instance) are similar to OEM at a glance, but these will be obviously NOT stock in every respect- size, design, and visual impact.

The thing that gets me about posts like this is that it is your car. While is it cool to poll your compatriots for opinions, at the end of the day, you have to run those rims and like them. For $650, it is tough to go wrong- you could always eBay them if you hate them once they are on there. Personally, I like them. But many people hate my rims, so what do I know? What I know is that I like them, despite their "stock-ish" appearance, and that is what matters to me. Even in a tiny size (16") and wothout any real flair, I like the rims. It all comes down to what you want to run on your car. Plain and simple.

That said, I don't know if i would buy from someone who makes up words. From your original post:

"3. This wheel is more popular than I realized and all of our 4 warehouses the supply has been completly deplinished.

Sincerly Winston A. Alexander /President CEO"

:D "Deplinished" is not a word, according to the American Heritage Dictionary...or any other dictionary I could find here at the firm... :D

Which do you think would be better?

1)Right first

2)Left first

3)Simulateously

Should I wear my DC shoe's tommorow, or my Etnies?

1)DC

2)Etnies


Now, the girl I like won't be at school tommorow so I think I am going to let my hair go. I wonder if that's a good choice?

I agree with you, but the thing is they won't be ready till January 15th...THAT'S my dilemma. Dump my saving or what a little and if I still want them & pay $80 more?

If your car not has rims and tires, and if you think that you may wan tthe rims down the road, get them now. I don't know what you would do w/ $80, but I can think of plenty of ways to spend it, max-related or not. It is not like that $650 would earn a lot of interest in the next 30 days. I would get them now. So yo usit on the deal for 30 days, then you get the rims. In the meantime, SPEND the $80 that you save- use it for gas or something. Get some CDs. If you cannot think of that to do with it, my paypal is phenryiv1@cs.com :D

Seriously, like I said before, for $650 it is hard to go wrong, but $650 is more than 10% less than $730, which is what you will pay Jan 15- and that is IF they have not pre-sold their 01.15.03-arriving stock. What if they sell the other 24 sets and you are waiting longer? Just my $0.02...


And don't forget that paypal address, if that money becomes a burdeon!

You have good reasoning...I like the way you think. :) I'll tell you what..I can't give you that 80 bucks, but how about some stillen stickers? I have a spare 300zx stillen race car if ya want it. :shy: But you don't seem like the type to put stickers on his ride. PM me if ya want a sticker.
