Looking for Enkei Aegis 18x8.5 18x10

Does anyone know where I might be able to get these for my 93 RX7. I'm Looking to put 285-295 range on the rear. If someone has a picture of them, that would be even better with the offsets for front and rear. thanks for the info.

they are ~24lb front and ~26lb rear each wheel without tires

your stock wheels are ~16lb

if you have ever driven a car with double the weight in wheels or not the correct size, you can't imagine the SLOW feeling

you have a good point, but I really think that the looks of a wheel really make the car. Anyone know where I can find replicas of these wheels but lighter? Can a n administrator transfer this to the right forum category to for me?

Nice choice. 285/30 is the max I would go on 18/10

The only replica I know of is the Konig Imagine. It is lighter and cheaper.

enkei aegis

dude dont waste your money on those cheap konigs, the enkeis are forge aluminum 3 piece rims and light weight for their size, they r very strong rims, i used to have the silver with a polish lip. i sold them to a forum member, now i have the chrome 18x9.5 and 18x8.5, these have less than 300 miles, i might consider selling them, i'm not sure. check out my pic album for pics

Konigs aren't even close to 10 inches wide.

Are you serious? I went to whalentire.com and they don't carry *any* rims that fit a 93 RX7....

ARD T2 can be reached at www.autornd.com

I believe they are still a distributor for Enkei. I'm not so sure if Aegis is still available anymore. We have relationship there as well. I can ask for you. But my info will only be able to tell you if it can be purchased. You would have to contact Enkei yourself or a dealer of theirs for purchasing. PM me if you want me to find out or just call Enkei yourself. www.enkei.com
