Enkei rpm2s, Rishie??

If you could PM the price of these rims I would appreciate it, also any pics you may have of FC's with them. I am looking for 17s for my TII. My uncle is doing a widebody for his convertible and was thinking about 18s. For my car what would be the advantages or disadvantages in running staggered tire sizes. This is primarily going to be a street car. If you do recommend running staggered sized what would be the best combination.

Sizing is dependent on whether or not you want to rotate. I would reccommend staggered but that's all up to you.

I'd like to know what you've lowered you car with if at all.

Disadvantage to staggered size is that you can't rotate. That's all. Being that you have a T2 you might want the wider contact patch in the rear.

I'll Pm you now. I have a pic of a white and red T2 with the wheels. Have to find them.

thanks, Rishie

Disadvantage to stagger is lack of rotatability.

Advantage more contact patch in the rear. You got turbo go with the 9.0's. I need to know what you've lowered your ride with.

8's and 9's. 225/45 and 255/40 or 215/45 and 245/40 on 7" and 9" widths.

Thanks, Rishie

I have these wheels on my car that I got this summer from Rishie. I am running the 17x8 in the front with a 235/40/17 and in the rear 17x9 with 255/40/17. My car is lowered with the racing beat springs on tokico shocks and the front dont rub at all. I have pics of them on my red 87 turbo 2 but they are too big to put here. Any body want them let me know.

The pics dont really do a god job showing the wheel. Inperson they look so much better and the sometimes look silver, or the gunmetal look, and black sometimes. They are awsome and I am very happy with them, and Rishie also, as everybody else here who has baught from him will tell you.

I'm trying to get you a picture of them in 17,18 stagger on a S5 white T2. That's just gorgeous. Maybe I can get them today. Definitely this weekend.

Thanks trinity.

Thanks, Rishie
