New Rims For My Car

[Blitz_boy]

Hi guys

I buying some new 18's for my Evo 6 and I was after everyones opinion. The rims I'm choosing between are silver Enkei RP02 or bronze 5Zigen GN+

Are the Enkei's getting too old schools?

What do you think? ps the car is silver.

bronze 5Zigen GN+

The 5Zigen looks better, but the Enkei will help handling more. Maybe price will help you out.

Thanks guys. The price is very similar between the two.

Here's a "non glamour" shot of the GN+

They look a lot different.

powdercoat the enkeis charcoal/bronze/something cool ?

as it stands - 5zigen.

depends what you value more - looks or performance, and wether a 2.5kg difference per corner is more valuable and noticeable than wheels and the major effect they have on the cars image.

5zigen also.

Nope.............

Still my choice

All depends on your apllication. If your evo is a dedicated track car and you have a Level 3 CAMS licence, i would say Enkie, due to the weight differance.

For anything else i would go the 5zigen. You will not notice the differance in handling between the two, for a road/casual track car.

Both are top quality rims, so you can't go wrong.

5Zigen GN+ ftw....nice looking rims.

[Blitz_boy]

Yeah, looks like I will order the 5Zigen.

As it turns out they're actually lighter than the Enkei's.

20lbs each for the Enkei's vs 18lbs each for the 5Zigen.
