my new look.

got some new wheels. they are enkei RP-02. 235.40.18 Pirelli P-Zeros.

i was kind of heistant to get aftermarket wheels (since it kind of takes away from the sleeper look). but i have always liked these wheels. they are pretty light...18 lbs + 22 lb tires = 40lbs total. not too bad for 18s.

let me know what you think. i still have the OEM 5th gen 17s, i love those wheels. so i need some encouragement about these wheels.

thanks for looking!

--Paul

They look good. I'll bet they're lighter, too, then, so that's a plus. Good pick

wooo they look good paul. i really like them. my buddy just got a 97 white max. hes got some rims and tint and hes lowering it as soon as he gets his butt out there and hammers through it. So if you see him give him a honk!

oh btw... can i have your car?

I think they look really good. You can give away the 5th gen rims now.

can you feel a difference? I think the 17" 5th gen rim combos weigh in at 50lbs a corner or something close to that.

Nice wheels, I am currently contemplating them.

nice rims i love my rp01s even tho i havent gotten a chance to see them since i bought them. great addition to less aggressive maximas. imo they dont look as aftermarket as some rims out there so, ur sleeper persona may not be totally lost. and now u can get some big-o-rotors to fill up all that wheel.

WOW. Way to rep the DP0s dude. those RP02s look amazing, always liked them on 4th gens since JSutter got 'em. And yeah, they're definitely light.

I have Falken rubber and the combo is 47 lbs. My stock wheels have Pzeros and are about 40lbs. I dont notice a weight difference, but I sure would like to have lighter tires anyhow. But I was un impressed with the Pzeros side wall sloppyness running the 225/50/16. But now Im unimpressed with the Falken's wheel hop around corners.

Anyway Edgeracing still has these at an outstanding price.
