need some opinions on wheels for my FD.. im not 100% sure what i like better.. anyone wanna comment?


i would powder coat the center black and leave the lip chrome if i got these

 

Get the

Enkei RP03,

Stronger, Lighter, Faster....

Rishie

 

i would get them if they were nice but there ugly and not staggered..

 

Enkei rp03 ugly? Did you not look at the wheels you posted for comment? Now those are UGLY!!!!!

Like AutoRnD said go with the Enkei, or Work, maybe some Volk wheels they all have some great choices of wheels.

 

The first ones look alright, although I wouldn't go for either in the first place.

 

im not looking for light wheels, i want looks.. i rarely drive my FD and dont race it.. secondly enkei doesnt make nice wheels anymore.. thoe wheels look like something that would go on a highschool kids civic.. if you look on google you will see the wheels i choose on high end cars.. i dont drive a civic.. and please feel free to add some pictures of those enkei's on any car, PLEASE!

 

and the Enkei rp03 are not staggered, the FD needs staggered wheels

 

You can get them in whatever color you want as well as custom offsets.

 

Wow you don't get out much do you, Ever heard of RE-Amemiya? They put Enkei wheels on all their shop cars, their D1 drift car as well as their SuperGT race car.

Enkei also make wheels for F1 cars

If you don't race the car that doesn't matter you can still put a nice light wheel on it and Enkei does offer staggered fitment just not the deep dish lip you are probably looking for.

Trust me, I'm not trying to talk you into buying Enkei wheels but a blanket statement like "Enkei doesn't make nice wheels anymore..." is ignorant .

Hell I don't run Enkei wheels either, I have Work VS-XX wheels . Heres A pic of my wheels

 

i work at a shop that does custom fabrications from welding to body kits to wheels, you name it we do it..

maybe enkei makes wheels you like but i think they fell off a long time ago and they didnt have a staggered wheel in the model posted above.. i actually wanted enkie's at first because they make the spare but like i said i looked and i found nothing i liked, not even close..

i like the jline wheels but im not trying to spend 3,500$ just on wheels when i change them every season anyway. why spend that much anyway when u can find wheels almost the same looking for less then half the price?

im probably going with the second wheels i posted in 19 inch, i would get 18's but they only come in 19 or larger and i dont drag race so its ok. and the 18's kind of looked small last time

 

Because unlike the most other wheels, you can get custom colors as well as custom offsets. They are a true custom wheel to get "exactly" what you want, rather than settling for "what is offered".

Maybe if you did spend some money on a good set of wheels, you might actually keep them for a while.....

 

your not the only person to say that to me, the wheel guy in the shop said the same thing but i get tired real quick.. and i have a bad temper, if i fucked them up i would be furious!

 

everyone's taste is differant but...

who cares? you're putting 19's on an fd. just buy some spinners, and make sure you put the size in chrome right next to the wheel. OMFG!

 

like i said im not drag racing.. whats it make a difference? please tell me this

 

you want something cheaper look at some rotas, there inexpensive since you'll be changing them, although I don't think they make them bigger than 18's and look much better than those^^^

 

i will deff check them out.. i would buy 18's, the wheels i posted on top arent made in 18's only 19's

 

i dont mean to hate on everyone opinions but im a really picky person.. i didnt really like the rota wheels.. im looking for something with a black center and machined aluminum lip

 

ive seen those petrols on a g35, i kinda liked them.
and im sorry, but when EVERYONE goes for work, enkei, bbs, and super advans, it gets old.
think outside the box

peace

 

There are plenty of quality choices out there that are stronger AND lighter than any knock offs like Rota or Konig.
Desmond, CCW, Blitz, & Fiske are but a few.

IMO, a lot of people (myself included) buy Enkeis because they really are one of the best bang-for-the-buck wheel makers out there. My 17x9s weigh 15.5 pounds and I got the set for 700 bucks.

 

to me there wheels are so blah and out of date.. could you find me a site that has a nice selection? a name is only a name, im willing to look and buy if i like them.. jim at JPR has enkei's on his rx-8 and there really nice! i honestly couldnt find anything i liked when i looked, maybe i just didnt look enough.. someone please find me a site.. thanks

 

Only thing I can think of is

18" Sportmax 006 in Black with Polished lip. Damn cheap wheel, nice mesh.

They will be releasing a 19" version in a couple months.

Just know that if you go cheap you will make sacrifices. For sportmax you will need to roll your fenders.

They only make 8.5" and 9.5" +35

 

hey buddie, are you just trying to get rid of your overstock or lefttovers? if your just trying to sell some wheels your not doing a good job

 

Wow,

Considering you work for a shop I'd say you're making some blatantly ignorant statements.

Obviously a lot is due to user preference, but making statements like

1. FD has to have staggered wheels is the biggest bunch of crock i've heard. Ya maybe you think it looks better but i don't believe it will perform better.

2. Whatever your opinion of Enkei wheels are you have no manufacturing knowledge of their japan facilities.

I can't believe you're showing us "Petrol" wheels in comparison to a forged barrel one piece Enkei MAT wheel. It's just pure heresy. lolz....

Anyways, this is a real waste of anyone's time.

Pick what you like and stop asking for advice. Have fun rocking the 19's staggered that will make your FD perform like a "CIVIC". lolz....

Get some Vossen, Petrol, Sportmax, all the same damn ****.

Enkei = Advan = Racing Hart = Lowenhart = Blitz = AME

SO MUCH DOPE *** **** FOR HIGH END LUXURY/SPORT CARS......

I'm not talking about their stuff that's made outside of Japan. But anyways, you already know everything about this brand apparently.

 

i never said they had to be staggered, thats just what i prefer.. learn how to read. secondly i dont care about the weight or the manufacturing knowledge of their japan facilities lol.. the wheels you picked were butt *** ugly, simple as that.. and again i rarely drive my fd and it wasnt designed to drag race so i dont care about weight once again. its a road car, 19's would prolly be better for the driving i like. but again if you could read you would of read that i wanted 18's but they only made the wheels in 19's.. now what do you have to say?

and let me add your a damn fool for saying the 19's would make it perform like a civic.. logically you make no damn sence.. there really not to much heavier then 18's

 

dude wtf be a little nicer to people who are taking the time to try and make suggestions for you. Do that and i'm sure you'll get nicer responses. 90% of the time I advise people without any expectation of producing a sale. So you thinking i'm just trying to push some wheels on you was like putting salt in a wound. Just didn't like the way you came at me. I don't have either of those wheels in stock and you can find sportmax on ebay probably cheaper than I can get it for.

I was only trying to help you out and didn't realize you had this plethora of amazing wheel knowledge. I retract all prior statements and advice. I'll just steer clear of ya.
