a split seven spoke....which wheel do they currently have that has 7 spokes other than the GT-7...which I have. I can't imagine what the double spoke would look like....probably a lot like the Enkei RP01's (only 6 spoke though) that I have for autocross.???Maybe.

Or maybe it will look more like the Work wheel..or maybe the BMW M3 wheel?

I bet they would look similar to the RP01s. You can't get too creative with 7 spokes. Whatever it is, I bet it's gonna look sweet.

Hey fellas

Just a quick question. I'm running stock springs and shocks. Planning to get TE37 in the size 18"x8.5" with an offset of +30 all round.

To be running to 245/40/18 tires. Would the setup cause any rubbing or hitting of the fenders? Would appreciate any form of feedback. Thanks!

You should be fine with that setup. I don't rub or hit the fenders. My setup is 18x8 +37 with 245/40/18 tires. Currently my car is dropped with the RB springs.

Maybe not any 8s, but they're popular in the S2000, Z crowd. Hence, this red Z.

yup, looks alot like my enkies I posted a couple back. Looks nice and are functional for the street and/or track.

So, how much is 76,000 Yen, for the 18x9.5 +40's. These would be equivalent to the 18x9.5 +40 Enkeis.

So that's what the RE looks like. Somewhat similar to the Enkei RP01s as we suspected.

Retail for 18x9 is $780.00 special color add 30 bux. They are 30% stronger than Ce. Same weight as Ce. Also have 6mm larger lip over Ce.

75,000 Japanese yen = 627.00 U.S. dollar

That seems like an awful lot of money for a wheel.

I got the special order Enkeis for 200 each. They list well above that, but vendors typically offer them at 250-300.....so yes, 627 per wheel is a lot unless these are daily driver wheels. I wouldn't spend that much on a track set of wheels.

Maximum image size

What is the maximum image size for this forum? I am trying to get my pic uploaded but I don't want to degrade it too much by shrinking it... also any pointers for shrinking 3 or 5 megapixel photos "perfectly"...

I've got the RO-JA 5 spoke wheels and want to show you guys

if you try to post a pic and it is too big, you'll get information at the top of the screen as to the maximum image size.


I have used photopaint to reduce the size, but use Flash now. I am able to get a 1280x960 image small enough without losing a lot fo quality. Others post on photobucket and just place a link.
