HP wheels? Come on....don't do that to your G.

Enkei makes quality stuff, and JDM. The RP03 is 1pc cast using their proprietary MAT process, so it's light and strong.

Easy decision.


The Ray's -Games 99b is also a very nice 1pc cast wheel from Ray's, makers of Volk Racing. I had a set of those. They're also pretty light (I had 19x9.5/19x10.5 +22 offset) and strong using Ray's Cast Flow Forming process.

Lol I know I am staying away from HP's. I just like the simple design and it had a lip so I thought about it, but immediatly said no afterwards. I loved the Enkei's and still do, but the G Games seem to stick out in ym head more. I love rays and volks so I know they are a trusted company. also the g games come in a better offset (40 as opposed to the enkei's 42). Not a huge difference but it will make them more flush without spacers. So I guess mainly it is a toss up between the enkei's and g games

that looks sick. That gunmetal matches the DG color perfectly. I got a brilliant silver sedan so it will stand out a bit more, but I like that. Don't want to blend it. They also have a silver finish i think. Still not sure on the color of which I would go with.

How did you like them? any problems?

If I had a choice between those two rims I'd choose the Enkei RP03's because the concave look is a lot nicer than the other rim.

Thanks for everyones input though. Very informative!

On sedans, I think multi spoke wheels with a lip look really good (e.g. Work VSXX). 19's would look perfect. But I wouldn't have the wheels the exact same colour as the car. You want to make the wheels stand out more. Personally I would get gunmetal wheels on a Silver sedan. It gives it a good clash. And the lip makes the car look even classier.

That's a solid choice. I think they'll look great on your sedan.

You should come down to one of our meets after you get them on. I'd like to check it out in person.

I will be sure to let you guys know when I do get them. Not getting them for a while though. Got to wait til it gets warmer. I decided to go with a different rim... little higher up there on price but its worth it.. what ya think??
