Arrow Enkei Dilemma

Ok trying to choose some rims, heres what I like:

Enkei RS7 http://www.streetdreams.org/display....supplier=Enkei

Enkei OR52 http://www.streetdreams.org/display....supplier=Enkei

Which should I get? If anyone could show me some pics of 18''s on a Silverstone, it may make my decision easier. Also, are Enkei's good quality rims?

i like the rs7's better. but they are kinda skinny.

enkeis are good quality rims, a lot of car manufacturers (such as acura) stock rims are made by enkei.

If I was buying Enkei rims it would be the PK6. They come with a huge 3.5 rear lip. Great wheel for the money.

19x7.5 only? or is there a wider wheel. that would be way too skinniny. would they have the correct offset?

now that I looked at the sizes, they are kinda thin. Only 7.5 for a 19'', that is kinda half-assed. Im looking for 18''s with a decent width and a similar look to the rs7s or the Or52's.

Can someone post a pic of the or52's on a SS? I guess a photoshop will suffice. I just want to visualize it.

Mgl- your new rims looked promising until i saw they only had 19''s and a fat price tag to go along.

hamy- the pk6's spokes remind of the stock Z spokes, im looking for something thinner and cleaner.

Thanks for the pic Z1!

z1 what are those?

ZZZealous007: i am in the same situation as you. i think. i want 18's that look good with some lip without spending a ton or 19's same thing basically.

pk6 is my safety wheel. 1500 for tires + wheel is pretty good.

someone is selling the work emotion wheels in the private classified no lip but they look really good on the car.

also check out the 5zigen wheels. they have a bunch of 18's. pro GN+, 5zr (NOW IN 18!!!)

Trix - those are 18 inch RP03's - really nicely made wheel, relatively light (about 20 lbs), and VERY affordable. Also offered in 19's too.

if you're going enkei, you'll need to look at their "luxury" or "racing" line like the RPF1 or NT03, not the wheels built for sport compacts; they don't come in staggered 8 and 9/10 inch width sizes

consider the pk6 too... looks HOT
