famaya26 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't think that's exactly middle of the pack now is it? Wells unless you wanna go with Reps, nothing wrong with them, Enkei are pretty cheap. Someone correct me if Im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Enkei's are def decent wheels for the money, but you can also get BBS replica's that are good quality for like $600 on the Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaspGT Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Enkeis 2013 tuner wheels look good. Namely the kojins http://www.blog.enkei.com/new-for-2013-the-enkei-kojin-mat-tuning-series-wheel/ Is enkei a decent compromise between price and weight? Wheel noob here, looking for a decent middle of the pack wheel for a car I don't even own lol. I just looked at those wheels... super boring for me... but then again i guess i must like the flash? If those wheels do it for you, Enkei is a bargain for sure;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 ... and the wheels on the WRX go for 6 hundo. Pretty nice for the short money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent wheels for the money :facepalm: Dollar for dollar you are not generally going to beat Enkei R series wheels. High quality wheels for the money, not decent wheels. TRACK quality wheels you can trust your life with. Cheap wheel replicas generally look good till you park next to the real thing. Cheap wheel replicas have been known to have density variance. Weigh them individually and see if they are the exact same weight. I've picked up sets of knock-offs that from wheel to wheel the weight difference could be felt with my bare hands. Thats not just bad, thats scary (bbs knockoffs in fact) I don't think that's exactly middle of the pack now is it? $1200 for a set of wheels is actually on the lower end of middle of the pack as far as nicer wheels go.

Those RPF1's look great on that wagon, but then again i like Lm's better. You wont find me blowing 3 grand on a set of rollers, replicas are just fine to drive around with.

LosAngelesLGT Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 ^$1200 for WHEELS, not wheels and tires. My honest suggestion with replicas is buy a set of 5. If the price is still worth it you won't care when they bend on a pothole and on the off chance they don't, you have a full size spare (if you gut the tire whole, a full size 18x8 with tire will fit, face down with the jack, etc inside it). Same theory with track wheels. If can't buy 5, can't track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaspGT Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 LosAngelesLGT is closer to the vendors I usually bargain with in Cali, so if not there than here in NE at Town Fair or Discount Tire. I'm a dealer and I also happen to know people. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not wealthy. I shop around and grift before I go in and buy. Kind of like refusing to pay $200 for a GS Up pipe when I could get it for $50 cheaper. I'll have to admit those Enkei's are starting to grow on me. It's been few years since I've gone that route.
