Personally, I wouldn't get Enkei rims. But I gotta admit, those do look pretty nice on your car! I still love the Merlot and Majestic Blue colors!

What's wrong with Enkei rims? They're RPM2 are good quality, light, and didn't break the bank.

Looks like LE37K wheels, but with 10 spokey thingys and no polished lip.

How much were they and how much do they weigh?

$199 each at the local Belle Tire. I've got no idea how they're selling 'em for $50 less than Whalentire, but I'm not complaining. They're 17.5lbs in 18x8 and they forged (despite what wheelweights.net says). The tires are Toyo Proxes T1-s in 245/40/18 ($209). I was out the door for $1645.

Yeah I definitely don't see how they look like 17"s

Maybe it's because the car is not dropped?

Re: Enkei RPM2 18" rims on my Merlot Max (pics)

I think the car looks really nice Stereodude!! It would look even better lowered (even an inch or inch & a half), but still nice the way it stands now!!

BTW...do you have a picture of just the back of your car? I've been thinking of changing my smoked tails to the clear 2K2+ tails and I'm not sure how it would on Merlot. I saw one of your pics that shows part of one, but was wondering if you had one totally of the rear.

it's just that darker colored rims(gunmetal, black, etc) appear smaller than silver or white rims...that's all...my 18s didn't really look that big cuz they were gunmetal colors...but i still liked my 18s and i still do...

nice rims btw! i was looking at those yesterday night on a website! cool!!
