Ive seen your car dude
Those are Enkeis you are rolling on.......

If you really cared about your 6 and if those replica rims really weighed 12 pounds you would lower it by like 4 inches.

For Shats and Giggles show us that VW Cabriolet as well.

Love the dish! That style will come back in style when the concave craze drives out, there's nothing more classic that a deep dish'ed RWD monster!

GL on the bearing issues!

should have just lied and claimed they're Enkei's, Kosei's are just knockoffs. Oh and they weigh in at around 15lbs not 12 as you stated, I had them for my auto-x setup years ago and they weighed in at 14.8lbs.

I usually went with wheels that no one put on their 211's, or at least tried to. Once I narrowed down the wheels, design was next and then other factors. Now it's finding the wheel no one has done (or only a few) and the next biggest factor is weight.

um, the Kosei's are not Enkei's
they look similar but the Kosei's have dual air stems

and yes, not 12lbs - they're 13.9lbs


but whatever... never cracked

Justin - your rims look DOPE!

Wheels shopping can be hard man.. So many to choose from, I feel you. Im shopping for a set myself and have been eyeing the Forgestar CF10 in polish/brush finished. no sure on 19 or 20s though. I really like the spoke look almost like the black series SL..

Well, bought another set of wheels last night....


A friend made me a deal on some Wald wheels that was too good to pass up.


How many sets of wheels do you need to have on hand to be considered a wheel *****?
