Enkei RZ-5's

Looking for a new set of rims, something durable, but still in my price range.
Came across Enkei RZ-5's, does anyone have pics of them mounted on their 8 by any chance? the only one that ive seen is on google, on a shitty modded rx8 so i dont want to make judgments just yet.

18's?? that'll be tough to find. you'll have to go w/ cheap knock-offs from tirerack or discounttire or something. i got my rotas for just under 1000 and they are considered cheap knock-offs...so sub-800 is a bit unrealistic.

keep your eye out for used rims in the f/s threads.

i would not get anything cheaper than rotas, some used rims might be cheaper but im usually apprehensive about any suspension component that's been used

Lol yeh i know, 800 seems like a lot to me for right now.
Going for a nice look, perferably black with a big lip, a decently known brand, hopefully something light-weight. Really wanted RPF-1's

i like my konig lightnings and they are slightly lighter then stocks, but i know a lot of people will dissagree and call them knock offs, but you get used to it haha.

my offset is also really conservative so with a better offset i think they would look even better

well in that case just get spacers for your current wheels to push them out some...don't even bother with different ones.

oh, then DROP it

EDIT: oh wait, kaiser you're not the OP

I'd buy a set of used rpf1's before buying RZ-5's. You can get quality used wheels for a decent price if you look around.

^lol, thats funny, thats actually what i'm doing for my track set. I'm buying one rim and tire at a time to take advantage of the free mounting and shipping from discount tire. In 4-6 months I'll have the full set.
