What is everyone's take on these rims as far as quality and weight etc. The shops in my area don't have shit for a selection of different manufacturer's, but all the rims are cheap as hell, I looked on tirerack.com for the same Enkei rims that I thought looked sweet and the shop next to my house is selling them for $500 with a tire package!!!

How about posting a pic of the wheel they are selling, or letting us know the model.

Enkei makes some nice wheels.

oh don't, pleae don't. Those are so freakin played out! I see them on every car every where I go. They are not light either. I think they are like 20lb for just 16"

I'm thinking about getting the Rp02 rims I had on my previous civic. They weren't heavy, but not really that light either.

go to discount tire company, if you have one in your area. They have a catalog for rims and they show the weight for them

Get a wheel that is not too heavy, I opted for some (cheap) Motegi's, and I hate the noise they make due to the weight of them.

But then again, It's not how you feel but how you LOOK, and I LOOK marveless......................................... .:D

i have enkei's on my car and i really like 'em. the look is great and the quality is too.

true, there are lighter rims on the market...BUT i''ve hit a couple of deep potholes and was sure the wheel would be bent or dented, however, the enkei's have held strong and true. highly recommended.

Smokin Civic.... You know of a place selling those enkie rims for $500/set with tires?? Where? Are they 17"? I want em but i'm in the Miami area. I hope there's a website that gives the same deal.

17" $500 for just the rims but if you buy the rims tire package they only make you pay for 2 tires and they cover the other 2 so I got the whole package for about $820, and I did end up getting them I think that look badass on our car, suggestion though if you dont have springs or coil overs then go for 18's (if you dont live in a bumpy area)

Tripz car has the enkie rs-5 i believe. I think they would look better in silver rather chrome . I had the cdr-9 and the rf-1 b4 on my ex as well.
