Enkie RP01

I found a good deal on a set 18x8.5. Just wanted to get your guys opinion on them. If you dont know what they look like here is a pic.

They would only look good in the certain light that makes DP look silver. Might look weird when DP has that gold hue to it.

Humm, I want to keep my sevas. I got to get one of them repaired. A rock hit the chrome part, maybe strip the chrome and go polish unless re chroming the lip will be cheap.

The Enkie is a great track wheel but ugly for street wheels.

How do you tell the diff b/w the RP01 and the RP02? Either way, great track wheels, but look stupid on the street. Unless it's an old Civic or something.

LOL That the rears, the fronts are 19x9.5 +28. Remember I have an X so the tire diameters got to be the same.

+1.
I have a set of NT-03 Enkei's for the track. Not a bad looking street wheel, but you can tell it was built for the track.
