So I finally got my wheels on, and decided to do a little photoshoot with a buddy.

They are Enkei RS-V 18x7.5 +35, with Dunlop DZ101 225/45/18

Let me know what you think! Be honest now

honestly, i think black rims with chrome lip are a bit played out. BUT i do think they're a definite step up from the stock rims and definitely a step in the right direction away from all the poor rim choices that are available. post more pics bro!

I was expecting an "uuuuuuuuugly" lol

Actually they aren't black, they're anthracite. Match the color of the car pretty well, but I can see how they would look black.

More comments!

I was looking VERY hard at those rims myself Alpha. The one thing that I didn't like was the lack of depth to the lip. If it were a bit deeper I woulda been sold because I like that spoke configuration a lot.

Your car is sex-say.

Yup, just an Injen, nothing terribly exciting. I have the skirts sitting unpainted in my garage. I think I'll wait though; I'm transferring to UCSD in less than a month.

True that, but I think white is a much easier color for wheels to match/contrast. They are 17x7 Blif racing, whatever the crap that is.

I haven't seen a similar spoke pattern with a bigger lip... If you want a fat lip check out the TSW Thruxton

Thanks for the comments people, keep em coming!

I like how the color sorta matches the color of your car.

I don't like the size, too small... also, the extra lug holes FTL.

The Thruxton wheels are nothing like yours. Spoke configurationg is totally different.



The Tracstar 5's have similar spoke design but no real depth to the lip either and I think they only come in black with a red stripe around the lip.

not my taste, but hey I still have stock rims because im broke right now.

you bought them because YOU liked them and thats all that matters.

you could spend $50000 in mods and someone with different taste could say that your car looks like s*%t.

so if they make you happy, I say

Egh...buncha haters.

I dig the anthracite with a chrome lip. You need to get some tire polish in the worst way though! Trust me, it makes a whole world of difference!

That is because you are crazy.

Who resurrected this thread anyway?
