Trying to decide on Rims...
 

Hello out there.... I can't seem to make up my mind on what rims I want and I thought I'd post a poll for your input :)

Enkei's or 5Zigen?

:Wconfused
Here's the Gunmetal... can't figure out how to add option to the poll though :wallbash:

Another Enkei mockup to even the odds, :p:

And another mockup, just noticed the 5Zigen ZR comes in a 18x9.8 +37, will that fit good?

hard choice def

Voted for 5zigen, but probably gunmetal or black color. Not sure if gold will go with ti gray. RPF1's are too common i think.

I'm also not totally sure how well it goes (hence the poll) but I'm also not sure how well the gunmetal would match the Ti-grey, it's kind of a tricky paint color.:scratchhe

Voted for 5zigens also. +1 on a different color.

rpf1s all the way!!!!

ewww....the 5zigen's are ugly!!!! ;)

I vote 5zigen and in Bronze!!! I have a TiG also and have been thinking about getting the bronze 5zigens as my track wheels. This post just made up my mind. I think they look great. I have never liked black wheels except on white cars.

gunmetal 5zigen definitely

rpf1s look like stock TC rims... do not want.

5zigen
gunmetal

the RPF1s are probably
my least favorite
Enkei.

I added another Enkei mockup image, didn't seem fair that the 5Zigen gets 2 glances :)

OK, now I made myself even more puzzled, added another set of rims to first post. I like the look of these a lot, not sure how well they'd fit though. My only downside is that the 5Zigen are all quite a bit heavier than the Enkei's.

OK, I need to stop making these chops or I'll never make up my mind :)

its a really hard choice I've seen both in person and they both give the 8 curb appeal. For me i think it would come down to wheel weight

Has anybody seen the 5Zigen Hyper Gunmetal color on Ti-Gray? Wondering if it matches.

Personally I like the 5zigen ZR. I think it'll look great on your car. With a +37 and a 265 you may or may not have problems rubbing. Thats all depending on how low you are and how much negative camber you have. If you get a slight roll then you will not have to worry.

get these!!!

enkie =)

^ i agree

5Zigen ZR..

A Couple comparison pics from Gunmetal to Bronze, still not sure how well Gunmetal would match with Ti-gray...

YES YES YES :eek:

Gunmetal!

I agree with fortunate few... gunmetal and those rims!

Go with the gun metal R3 wheels. Theres a set on ebay right now... let me find the link

Got it, theyre pretty much brand new..

THat would be my pick for wheels on your ride. Im actually scoping them out myself ;)

I would pick up the last said rims in Gunmetal for sure! I know when I get my set it they will be chrome with a red stripe!

All bs aside When I pick up my set it will be SBC finish 17x9 rpf1's 17" performance tires are so so much less expensive.

my 17x10 RPF1s SBC would look better.

What about these:

I know they're Rotas, but they're only $500 for a set!

Edit: Nevermind, just noticed bolt pattern, oops.

Rfp1's gunmetal ftw!!!! Ohhh I want those!

i like the 5zigens...i dont know i kinda think rpf1s are overused..

but form over function.

If it was my money, it'd be the 5zigens.

Any love for these?

I don't know what you're smoking, but those are definitely NOT the Enkei RPF1s!:Wconfused They look more like Work Emotion CR wheels.:scratchhe The Work Emotion CRs, btw, are much better looking than the Enkei RPF1s.

Look at the center caps, lips, spacing between the spokes, and how the spokes extend toward the outer edge.

This, here, is an Enkei RPF1:

I like Enkei wheels and I used to have a set myself. But the RPF1s are probably some of the ugliest ones Enkei makes. But then, some people only care about function and not aesthetics.:ugh2:

get Enkei RPF1's 18x 9.5 in black. will fit perfect and look great!

You are correct sir the fit will be Great~! thing that holds me back from this rim is the price of the tires.... I truly dont think many people take this into account.

Bassy: Yeah, I know those aren't RPF1's, they're 5Zigen ZR+520, mentioned somewhere on 1st page. I couldn't add more choices to the poll after I made the thread. They're also 11 lbs heavier than the RPF1, lol.

Hoss: I found 265/35ZR-18 Hankook Ventus R-S2 XL $99 on TireRack.com, not bad.

HAHA fail.
you don't know what you are talking about

both the rpf1's and fn01r-c's wheels are played out...
if you like the 5zigen ZR's or whatever just get the work emotion cr kai

I like the Work emotion's a lot, but they'll cost me twice as much as the 5Zigen won't they?

:uhh:

I do know what I'm talking about. Maybe YOU don't know what I'm talking about. The OP knows exactly what I'm talking about.

You = Fail

:balls:

except for the fact that your post was completely wrong about the type of wheel, but whatever

:rolleyes:

:jerkit:

yeah no shit
you didn't bother reading the whole thread so you thought Erich thought the 5zigens were enkei's
Oh and you thought the 5zigen's were works
:jerkit:

Easy... easy.... don't make me separate you two!:squint:



:spank::icon_no2:

Ugh, how about the fact that the fucking poll only got two choices and a bunch of different pics from THREE different types of rims? And no, Captain Obivious, I didn't feel like going through every single post in the thread before I cast my vote in the poll. The poll is and can be misleading to some people.
:jerkit::piss:

LOL we are just having fun Erich

well i guess if you just read the thread you wouldn't have had to waste your time by trying to "educate" the OP :)

the internets is so fun!!

rpf1's in black = sex... haha i love flat black rims
