Personally, I wouldn't get Enkei rims. But I gotta admit, those do look pretty nice on your car! I still love the Merlot and Majestic Blue colors!

 

What's wrong with Enkei rims? They're RPM2 are good quality, light, and didn't break the bank.

The rims look AWESOME but you need to drop that bish BTW Merlot OwNz the other color 2k2s.

Uh oh... here come the lowering fans.

*runs away and hides*

Looks like LE37K wheels, but with 10 spokey thingys and no polished lip.

How much were they and how much do they weigh?

 

$199 each at the local Belle Tire. I've got no idea how they're selling 'em for $50 less than Whalentire, but I'm not complaining. They're 17.5lbs in 18x8 and they forged (despite what wheelweights.net says). The tires are Toyo Proxes T1-s in 245/40/18 ($209). I was out the door for $1645.

looks nice. they look like 17's though cause the rims blend into the tires...no polished lip.

 

Huh?



How do you figure?

Stereodude

 

Yeah I definitely don't see how they look like 17"s Maybe it's because the car is not dropped?
-Cyrus

 

they just seem like they're 17's...probably the drop like u mentioned. don't mean to be causing trouble. just got 17's myself, wish i could afford 18's...

 

well right now.. i think i'm getting 17's but gor less than 200 more i can get 18's... what do i do i'm scared.. i'm gonna kill a tire/rim aroundwhere i live.. where the roads SUCK...

and the rims i want (Moda R6) are soo bootyful.. but i cant for the life of me tell between a 17in one and an 18in one... *sigh* sorry for rambling..

 

I think the car looks really nice Stereodude!! It would look even better lowered (even an inch or inch & a half), but still nice the way it stands now!!

BTW...do you have a picture of just the back of your car? I've been thinking of changing my smoked tails to the clear 2K2+ tails and I'm not sure how it would on Merlot. I saw one of your pics that shows part of one, but was wondering if you had one totally of the rear.

Need tire shine But the look nice

 

Tire shine == Evil.

Stereodude

 

lookin hot man

 

Drop it

 

Put some tireshine on then take some more pics. we will compare good Vs Evil

 

it's just that darker colored rims(gunmetal, black, etc) appear smaller than silver or white rims...that's all...my 18s didn't really look that big cuz they were gunmetal colors...but i still liked my 18s and i still do...

nice rims btw! i was looking at those yesterday night on a website! cool!!

 

Hyper Silver rules!

Stereodude

 

yes tireshine big time
