I'm super-happy with the rims that came with my new RX:
Enkei EN94 rims. I think they're 15x6.5 but I haven't had them off the hubs to check yet.

Mmmm, happy to have just lost half an hour of my life running through this thread. One thing it has brought home to me is that my car needs more lows, though...
Anyway, managed to blunder through some quite cool wheels on mine (I think) that may be worth a look;
Watanabes on the front, too narrow but soooooooooo floaty light and gorgeous
Bridgestone Sharak-Eights on the rear. Pretty rare Jap wheel but annoyingly only managed to get three useable wheels. Otherwise they'd still be on the car even though they're only 14"s
Tried some Panasport G7s that looked superb but in 14" diameter were just too small with the skirts and valanced bumpers, so they came off, sadly. Needed more dish anyway
And finally ended up with 15x8 ET10 Compomotive MLs in gunmetal with polished rim. Bought a month before the firm went into receivership
Guess I'll never get that fifth spare wheel sorted now

Thinking about getting these and I want a wheel that will sit flush with my fender line. Working with it won't be a big deal like what you did, I just don't want to go cutting up a perfectly good car for a set of wheels.

Not sure if theya re rare, but thought i would share.
I just got a 82 widebody with 15x8 and 15x10 Epsilon 3 piece wheels on it. Not sure of offset, will figure that out once i can get the paint off the back of the hubs where it is engraved.
came with 265/50R15 front and 295/50R15 rears.. gonne be taking those tires off and running some Toyo RA1 225's and 235's i believe.
