Psych0matt Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 So, I've been debating getting rid of my 19"s sometime in the future and getting a nice set of 18"s, but I want something as light as possible. I like the general style of the ones I have, and also the ones that Thegoul (sp?) has only not in chrome, I like the kinda deep dish look to an extent, and I've also been thinking something either black or gunmetal with a nice lip. anyone have any suggestions or sites that might have something for me? ive checked out tirerack and the like, but not really finding much I like.

slick Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 But yeah, I could understand not liking them too much. They REALLY had to grow on me, a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 http://www.enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/RPO3.html About 17 lbs. a piece. http://www.enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/RC5.html A bit heavier at around 19 lbs. a piece. http://www.enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/jsm.html Special order, so will probably cost you your left nut.

jeremy Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 those enkei's that Chris used to have were pimp shit.....they were light as hell, if they looked as nice on my spyder as they did on his Z I would have never gotten rid of them... ....rotational weight is a bitch, and going lightweight definitely has it's benefits, but you will pay a pretty penny for any larger diameter lightweight rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke33 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 How much for the 19's? Do you have any trouble with tire rub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I love your F1s, I think they fit Cutlass' perfectly. They even look good at 19", which I never say about any wheel. I hope you get a replacement as clean looking as those are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 How much for the 19's? Do you have any trouble with tire rub? I think that there are 4 or 5 other people who called "dibs" on his 19s about a year ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there are 4 or 5 other people who called "dibs" on his 19s about a year ago Yeah, but from what I've seen, in the short time I have been hangin' around here, there seems to be a lot of talk but no cash flow.

I'll probably throw them on the TGP once it gets running to see, although one has no tire, and one is almost bald. I'll get a pair of 35's for the replacements and throw those on the fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
