If you could get any wheel...

[em1toevo]

If you could get any wheel under...lets say $1500, what would you get? I would like to know color, fitment, and wheel size opinions too. I don't want anything bigger than 18x9.5. This will be happening in the next couple of months, so I want to go ahead and throw around some ideas.

[blkonblk2red]

id do some 17X9.5/9 unless u can cough up the cost for tires in 18's

i like the enkei rpf1 sbc
rotas

[ryanowarrior]

Rota Grids Gold +20 9.5 rapped in Nitto NT05 tires :D

[Hikaru]

ENKEI RPF1 or NTO3 Brett! 18 X 9

[Evolvedgti]

Rota Grids Gold +20 9.5 rapped in Nitto NT05 tires :D
I have this exact combo, well in matte black
ENKEI RPF1 or NTO3 Brett! 18 X 9

Because of the above, I agree with Jason RPF1

[Dangeruss]

Possibly some TE37's with a $2000 off coupon. :)

[MeFryRice]

I'd go for a set of RPF1's in 18x9.5 et27.

[Evolvedgti]

i say 17*9.5, cheaper tires

[ryanowarrior]

[QUOTE=Evolvedgti;42109]I have this exact combo, well in matte black


Ah that's cool.....well let me ask ya how do u like dem tires then??




I would say the RPF1 also but they come in a crazy offset for the X +15 and I'm guessin that would take a lil more fender moddin or more than I already have and I don't wanna do that!!

I've had them to for about a year. they are great for the street. love them there. I have done one AX, can't really say they did well, or bad. my car isnt a AX car plan and simple.

I saw that you comented on some Gold Advan RGIIs on evom. That guy ended up selling em for $1300 shipped cause of some minor curb rash. Those are my dream wheels & I missed out too. :(

[em1toevo]

I really do like the RPF1s. I also am thinking about tire prices when you jump up to an 18" rim. It is a big difference in price.

Also, what do you guys think about the Work Emotion XD9 in bronze or silver with red lug nuts?

I agree, Andy. The RGIIs in gold have always been one of my favorite wheels ever, but the price is really high. I would die if I curbed one!

Brett, 2 pieces of advice: spend the money on the 18's!! you WILL regret it when the 17 inch wheels do not look right on your car! It happened to me with my silver Advan RZ. Then I had to go through the trouble of selling them to jump up to the 18 inch RS. Do it right the first time!! In addition, be careful of red lugs. I got some Rays Eng. red lugs and they looked pink! NOT COOL! Get black or silver. And get some locking lugs as well.

[em1toevo]

So you could tell that much of a difference between 17 and 18s? Thanks for the tip on the lugs.

[em1toevo]

Here are the RPF1s in silver...

When did you get those, Tripp?! Any pics?

[TripperFx3]

I think the RPF1's in a high polish would look sick on your car. Also I wouldn't skimp on tires. The NT05's are amazing and well worth the money. I was rolling on my roommates 18x9 Rotas with NT05's for a bit after he wrecked his evo and I loved the look of the 18's over my old 17x9's and the car handled like it was on rails. The tires were perfect for my coilover.

With that said I'd go for an 18in Rota with the NT05's since you have a 1500 dollar budget. I think my buddy paid around 1200 for Rotas with the NT05's, but the Work XD9's are a sexy wheel too.

[jktripp]

@ brett... i got them last month i think. i got pics but you know i can't up load them. maybe at the next meet....;)

What Rotas do you like? Offset? Color?

yeah i agree 18's will look a lot nicer.. but since i am tending to get more in autox and track days its nice to spend money on tires for 17's vs 18's... wish i could have two sets of wheels 17's for track and 18's for show...


correct me if i'm wrong.. i was just looking around and your tire selection for the 18's go down.... a lot... i could find the nitto nt05's, kumho xs in 255/40/18 or 255/45/18.. but i was just looking on discounttire.com found both of them in 17's

[scoobysam]

I used to have the work xd9 on my 1st evo with red work lugs. They were nice wheels but i say get the rpf1. I love the rpf1. And definitely get 18's.

[bomjoon]

just pay some broke dood off street $1000 and tell him to rob a shop with rims in stock.

tell him to get the size you want and he can keep whatever else he gets out.


but if that dont work ... i'll go with enkies. or 5zigens.

Those look absolutely sick!!!! I love that look. Now I'm torn between the RPF1s and these.

[ultm8mind]

I like the rims in the last pics on page 1, nice, Sams old rims are tight too, but then the sbc RPF's, not the silver..........all are nice and whatever you get you'll want another set anyways, LOL. Trust me, I know. Enkei has they're "new" set out that looks like the IX rim, not feeling them. You could always try to find a used set of Volks or something too.... decisions, decisions.

I think you were looking at the wrong tire sizes. For an 18x8.5-10 inch wheel you really want a 255/35. It's the closest to the overall stock rolling diameter. tire size selection (as far a performance tires) should go up a ton 18" diameter vs. 17"

[MeFryRice]

The XD9's are nice, they are just really heavy compared the the Enkei's. I guess if you don't expect to track the car then it's not really a concern for you.

[Evolvedgti]

I just realized I am an idiot. I DON'T have NT05, those I want. I have Invos :(

Sorry, I have other things on the brain! only took me a good nights sleep to realize you said NT05, lol

Stock rims? 255/40/17 by chance?

[MeFryRice]

You nailed it on the head. I only paid $125/each so I figured I'd tried them out. So far I'm pretty happy with them but anything is better than the NT555's that came on the car. lol.

oops :) lol... i looked for the 255/35/18 still couldn't find the nittos or the kumho xs's both on tirerack and discounttire....

^^^^ No widebody

[em1toevo]

Those Grids looks amazing, but my drop isn't that low. I want to get that lip on the black Evo too!

[koffebean00]

My drop isn't that low yet... And I'm pretty positive I'm going 10's this time around. Already got the fenders rolled and slightly pulled might have to go more. I love Evo's with a sik stance and aggressive wheels.

That lip does look good. I say u go for it!
I'm gonna do another SE lip or APR

I, too, want to get a set of RPF1's and have them painted although it's going to be a different color than blue.

I really want a set of TE37's **cough**MikeP**cough** and do something a little different with them but coming across a set of used TE37's in the right offset/width isn't common.

You guys do know that Enkei came out with three colors in 2010, blue,red and green RPF1's

I was going to get blue, but then heard kari and now Ash talking bout getting blue rims. so now i want to get a set of polished CCWs(next year, alot o stuff will happen next year)

NT03 ftw!

[sacul33]

I agree with just about everyone here. If you get NT03's just make sure they are a good offset. They need to look concave. Rota Grid's would look awesome too, they are so concave.

not feeling the SE37's

[MeFryRice]

They may still be there but on the other board there was a set BNIB in a pretty cool blue (not mag blue) for sale. I don't recall what they were selling for though.

[mike.p]

yeah those are the ones im talking about.. they had a helllllaaaaa lip...lol i think the would look good red:)

[ljk1984]

Go with the Rpf1's bro. I used to have the Xd9's on my old evo they're great wheels but they're heavy, But if you don't track it I guess you're fine lol.

[mike.p]

i say rpf1 also!

[ultm8mind]

They have a set of Lime Green RPF1's I was looking at. I wanted to be an odd ball, LOL.... I talked to the guy the other day he said he still had them and they're NEW.

[em1toevo]

I'm pretty sold on the RPF1s, but I haven't decided on which color: black, silver, or gunmetal. I haven't seen the SBC RPF1s for sale.

Btw Bruce, I saw your post in that thread. They would look good on your white Evo...
