What else is there in 18x8 with similar stats?
PS. I don't like the Konig Toxxins

Enkei RPO-2 is even lighter. RPO-2 looks better than RPO-1 IMHO, but both of them are pretty plain wheels. They are cheap and made in Michigan though which is kinda cool.

You can get them through discount tire, whether they are on their website or not I don't know, but discount is an enkei dealer. Actually discount tire can get any wheel you want if you go in there an ask them, they have hundreds of suppliers around the world, they just don't stock much of what's available. Both RPO-1 and 2 are OLD *** WHEELS. When I say old I mean at least 4 years old, they were out when I bought my first set of rims way back in the day
Yes they will fit on a Max, I saw a 3rd gen with them a couple weeks ago.

You can even see that some arent even FORGED. GTP's are about where SSR Integrals/GT1's are on the weight scale. So just be careful.. i know they make quite a few that arent this list that are pretty heavy (for volks, anyways)
magnesium wheels.. yummy.

Don't forget, the lighter you go, the easier it is to bend them. Forged is supposed to be the strongest setting, but it's near impossible to find something that is great for the track AND everyday driving.

does anyone know of a GOOD (not basic) looking set of light weight 18" 5 spoke wheels; I'm looking for something that would look good on a silver 5th gen; I like the OEM wheels on the new audi's and IS300's; I love MM Evo5's

if you're refering to me, I have OEM 17" wheels. Cwally and Kloogy have evo5's in 18" and 19" respectively. Those are not exactly the lightest wheel; I am wondering if there are any other good looking 5 spoke wheels that are not heavier than my OEM's?
#27
I'm surprised no one mentione Centerline RPM and Excel. Each can be had for around $275-300 per wheel and 18 x 7 weighs in at about 14.5 pounds. That's lighter than just about anything else outthere including Volks!

2) The rims are too narrow. A 7" wide rims is good for Civics, but not for Maximas. Tell me what tires you're going to put on an 18x7? A 215/45/18 would be the right size for a Max, but there aren't too many good tire choices, and they're still narrow.

thanks for the pics; it makes this decision so much easier (or hareder). I like the Moda R6's, but they're heavier than Evo5's.
I really like those Volks that Kev has on his car; I like that style because it's so unique. Is volk the only company that makes wheels in that sweet style. Volks are too expensive by the way because I'm looking to spend no more than $230 per wheel (18").
