Well..hopefully this will be the last set of wheels I buy for a while Set of Enkei RPM2s, 17x9 rear and 17x8 fronts. Ordered them last week, and they are here already. If anyone needs wheels, I would highly recommend AutoRND, as Rishie was very helpful, and I got a great price. Also, thanks to "EndlessWork", as he was superhelpful as well. I was worried the lack of a proper lip was going to turn me off of them, but seeing them in person really changes my mind. There is a lip, but the spokes just extend to the outside of it. The color is "hyperblack", and while Im not usually a fan of dark wheels, is very nice. Welp, on to the pics:

( My dog says Hi )






Ill get pics on the car as soon a I can. Just looking for some opinions, this is like my 6th set of wheels so far, hopefully Ill keep liking them..

 

You get new wheels so often its insane

But I must say those are gorgeous!


Oh yah, I also like your little shrine to rx7's there too

 

6 sets of wheels? do you have a really high disposable income or do you still live with your parents??

nice wheels, btw...

 

I think mesh style wheels like that go great on an FC. What offset in the front and back, and what size tires are you planning on running?

 

I havent had them all at the same time, Ive bought a set, sold them, bought another set, sold them, etc.. I actually spent less on these new than I sold my old Volk GT-Ps for used.

 

I wish the ups guy would drop of my fmic already, or I wish eraumazda would ship it I should say...

 

What is the website for that wheel supplier?..... AutoRND?...URL please.

 

Yes, I really like mesh as well, kind of regret selling my old Volk GT-Us. Offset is +35mm for the front, and +40 rear. I wouldve liked +35 for the rear also, but its not available. Im using 255/40r17s in the rear and 235/40r17s up front. The front will be close... but shouldnt rub.

The website for the distributor I ordered from is www.autornd.com

 

cast of forged?

nice wheels. i know volks are supposed to be top-o-the line, but enkie realy makes some nice ones. i love my rf-1's

 

They are cast. I just weighed a 17x9, came out to a hair under 18.5lbs. Not too shabbly, only about 1/2lb more than my Volks, and like 10lbs lighter than stock S4 T2 wheels

 

Took me like 2 months to get an oil pan from him...

 

Wow, those are nnniiicccee. If you don't like them, tell the UPS guy to drop 'em by my house. I like the stockers, but 16x7 just doesn't put enough rubber on the road.

 

I like em' Kinda have the vert wheel effect from BBS

 

Hmm is the wheels section of their webpage broken? Nothing is loading on it for me. I'm thinkin about some new wheels too. How did you go about contacting them? email or callem up?

Oh, and nice wheels

 

Hehe, you got those other Volks like 3 weeks ago!! Crazy

 

Works for me

 

Email , If youre serious, PM me and Ill give you his Email address.

 

okay now the page loads and lists all the wheel prices as $0.00 >.<

 

Sounds like you'll need spacers for the right look up front and look/fit in back. 15mm front/20mm back should do it.

 

A 15mm front spacer would make it equivilant to a 20mm offset. That would stick out past the stock fenders with my 8" wide wheel. The back will be fine also. Ive chosen this size/offset in relation to my past experience with wheels on my FC. My old 17x8s with a +32mm offset barely cleared the stock fender. Any more offset and you would need some negative camber to dial the top of the wheel in. The rears will be about flush with the fender as well wearing 255s.

 

Just a few more pics. Check out the Japanese instruction manual, look at the pictures, they are hilarious! Does anyone know exactly what Bortex is?

 

I know the same feeling you are talking about. They are awesome in person. Did Rishie hook you up like I thought he would? Anyways I have no idea what bortex is. They will look awesome once on the car.

 

They fit fine and look flush on my car. I have the exact same setup as Lenny. Glad to see you got them BTW!

 

Yo,


SCHWEETNESS!

*grin*

Looks good, should look pimpness on the car.

What kind of rubber ya gonna run?

Nice- if I had the sheckles (and my BBS's were rashed) I'd def go with these for the 'vert.

'Hyper Black", huh? looks like smoked chrome to me, but nice whatever they wanna call it...
