Wheel Question

someone offered me a set of Enkei RSF2's. Where do I get the info on these (weight, offset, and width) the seller might not have it.

it was on the max 4th gen I think, I have 5th gen. You can't expect the seller to know everything+I'd like to confirm that from indep. sources...let me see if there's enkei.com or smthg like that..

thanks, boyz. Buying from used from a private party is a bit complicated. You know how much you're paying but dont know what you're paying for....I got on to enkei's website, these wheels 19.6lbs/each. Guess I'll buy 'em

Enkei won't be able to tell you what size and offset the wheels are. You'll have to look at the back of the wheels. The size and offset will be stamped into the metal.

nope, actually I got enkei's website, and for each wheels thats out there, there's a weight and size info given. I had to call their distributor (tire.com?) and ask the for the offset info. Someone on the .org is selling me the set of used 17" RSF2's+ tires for under $600 which I think is decent.

But Enkei makes different sizes with different offsets. There's no way to tell what they are without looking at the wheels.

Personally, I wouldn't do it.
