16" Enkei RF1, RS6, or RP02 for $106 with Yokohama Avid H4 VR/HR tires and I have to get cone lugs cuz I'm using ball lugs or something like that..those only like 4 bux each tho. all brand new for $929 after fitting and tire balancing and everything. and if I can get my own tires they'll put it on and balance it for 6 bux per wheel.


what you think?? good price??...I think it's a really good price..seriously....dont' worry...I converted this all to american currency for you people..heh


I'm not looking for performance really..that's why I'm only going wif 16 and the Yokohama Avid H4 VR/HR tires.

The RP02's are the lightest rims Enkie makes. Definately a good choice.

I had a set of RP01's on my previous car. (Nissan Sentra SE-R)

I just recently went with 17' 5 Zigen Fighters for my MR2 though.

I'm pretty sure I saw those on MTV cribs or something. They come in very big wheel sizes for Navigators, Escilades, Denali's.

Not very good for performance. Very heavy tongue.gif

There is nothing rice about those. People use those rims on domestic cars.

rice isn't limited to japanese cars. rice refers to any modification that's all show and adds no performance on any car(ie. big ass spoilers, neon lights, lights under the car like fast and the furious, etc...)

the enkei is nice ...simple and lightweith

the term "rice rocket" actually came from the 70's when japanese cars were first introduced to america, all the american car guys called any japanese sport car a "rice rocket".
