ASA x Sportmax x Enkei [Pics]

Need help choosing my new set of rims. Also, wanted comments on Sportmax x Enkei x ASA in regards to quality.


SportMax 18x7.5 @ 22.5 Lbs - POLISHED LIPS
Not much to complain, just that they are not that light and i am not sure about sportmax.. never heard of them





SportMax 006 18x7.5 @ 22 Lbs - RED LIPS
I am leaning towards the back/red lips... somehow i like it a lot. Still, i am not sure about sportmax.. never heard of them




Enkei RSV @ 20 Lbs
Enkei brand and light wheels... but i dont think they are a nice design, but i am still including on the list.




Enkei RS5 @ 21.5 Lbs
I used to love the RS5 but they became too old school for my taste (typical 5 spoke wheel), and hard to keep it clean.




ASA Ar1
Good review about them, but sportmax wheels have a wider lip.

And here are the photoshops in a similar car:











I dont have the ASA AR1 photoshoped because i didnt have a frontal image, but that is a common design and i am sure people have seen it around.




Thanks in advance for voting!

If you want the red accent what about these, 18x8s +37

I like'em just not wide enough for me.

^^ I found them at www.discounttiredirect.com they did not list the weight, price was $210ea. They are listed as a special order, so I don't know if they qualify for the current $100 off.

tenzo R are pretty good wheels. Prob around same weight...

ASA and enkei are higher quality wheels than sportmax. Sportmax are very popular with the 240sx crowd... I run a different model on my 280z.... I would say get the ASA if you dont mind about a smaller lip

check what's on sale at tirerack! they have some great clearance deals going on now

in terms of 18s, tirerack has some great deals right now on wedsport wheels SA-70 in bronze or light grey, very nice strong and light wheel (18x8, 30 offset 19.4lbs) nice aggressive fitment but not crazy. would look hot. $269 each for bronze 299 each for grey

If you get any of the sportmax rims, get them in at least a wider width or else the lip is going to be weak.

I wouldn't pick any of the choices.

if you are looking to get choice #2, find a set of Volk time attack. That SportMax has just too much red
