scottybuckeye Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) thanks! but they're rotas... and legacygt'ers condemn rotas.... besides these were the same price... and i think we all trust japan more than phillipines (in rims that is)... maybe i'll get gold for winters... cuz i know that subies and gold r meant to be together lol~ I haven't heard too much sh*t talking on Rota's. Yeah, they're prob lower quality, but you can't beat the price! I'm very happy w/ mine. http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o19/oftoast/OSUvsWisconsin157small.jpg Edited June 24, 2008 by scottybuckeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that was one of enkei's chinese productions from the look and price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that was one of enkei's chinese productions from the look and price. how do you tell from the look where a rim is made? they got factories in the US so i'm assuming shipping's cheaper if it's from the US to canada... besides i'm chinese so i definitely support our products!

EL PAALO Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The look .......... is like many knock-off brands. It's a dual drilled one piece wheel with a polished lip and dark face. That's a popular look (minus the dual drill) because the high end companies were all doing that several years ago (le37t, professor sp1, etc).

nKoan Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ah i never knew enkei was a knockoff brand... yeah i guess the price proofs it Enkei is not a knockoff brand. They make wheels for a wide range of price points, from super cheap wheels all the way up to fairly nice wheels. And with Enkei, you tend to get what you pay for. If you buy their nicer wheels, they are very solid. The cheap ones suck balls (and have that cheap look with multiple bolt patterns, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ^ exactly, but you're certainly biased since you roll on their highest line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Oh yeah, that's right Two sets, actually. I race on Enkei ES-Tarmac wheels as well. But in all seriousness, the Enkei RPF-01, RPM2, NT03 and RP02 are some of my favorite wheels out there (not to mention that most of their wheels are some of my least favorite wheels on the market).

JonLGT Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Has anyone used MUTEKI lugs ? I have the black closed ended lugs and really like them, especially for the price. I paid $30 on eBay for a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProHobo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I can post now...finally. 17x8 Hyper Black Rota Torque Mcgard lugs (225/45/17 RE960s) Pics don't do the finish justice. Car just looks mean now. Looks great. Are they really BLACK? They don't look black - is that just the shine? Are you running springs/shocks/coils? the stance looks good as well! Very nice looking.

HansGT Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 ^ it's "hyper" black. Closer to a chrome gunmetal than black. A really awesome color...in direct sun they almost look chrome in the shade more gunmetal, but always with a high gloss finish.

djmonkey841 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I don't know if anybody would be willing to do it, but for you to even have a chance of someone doing it, you would have to provide pictures (of the car and the wheels) first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen it. Be the first one and go for it! I think it'd look pretty good too. Price isn't too bad either. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
