New Enkeis

[bobdobbs]

Enkei has a new line of 2004 wheels. I think this one would look good on an EP3, the RS7:



It's got the magic-number seven spokes like the CTR and it's otherwise clean looking. Anybody else think they look good? Or like ass?

[BSEVEER]

I think it's a good looking wheel. 7 spokes looks the best IMO although I prefer when the spokes extend all the way out to the edge of the wheel, making them look bigger. Any weight info on those dobbs?

[bobdobbs]

Yeah, there's something zen about 7 spokes, the lack of symmetry or something.

I've gotten two stories on the weight: Discount Tire says 17 pounds at 17" and some other forums say 19 pounds. The guys at Enkei say they have no specs yet. They're nice guys, but not very helpful.

i like em... did by any chance get some prices for them ?

DrtyTexan has them on his car in bronze. He got them from www.whalentire.com for a pretty good price:

Well, dayam, I'm not crazy. They do look good.

Weight? Anybody?

I'm thinking about the OR52s in 16" silver for my car.



They are very nice lookin' wheels for the price. I wanted to get Rota Circuit 8s, but can't find a decent price for 'em up here in the Great White North.

eh, not really a fan of them...i like your superleggeras way better.

[bobdobbs]

Yeah, I'm just thinking about something different since I've got a set of 17" tires collecting dust in the garage. I won't get rid of the OZs.

what's your budget and what are you looking for in the wheel? Just looks or strength and (light) weight as well?

Good-looking, light, cheap, in that order. 17 pounds tops. $200/wheel tops. $150/wheel would be more like it.

I really dig 5Zigen Fighters:

those last ones look a lot like HFP wheels.
