new rim/tire setup?

[Lil Freek]

I think i'm going to buy new rims/tires for the end of the summer.
I'm looking at this combo:

18" Enkei MM2's in Anthracite

with Toyo Proxes T1-R in 215/35/18

I'm tired of my Motegi FF7s and Fuzion ZRi's - the tires don't always stick and the rims are just too blah.

any comments on the setup??
i know 215/35/18 will be tight.. but i'll roll the fenders
by next spring i'll be lowered on coilovers, so i know i'll HAVE to roll 'em

I like em, but I'd get them in silver myself.

they're aight. there are so many better-looking rims out there though

 

[Lil Freek]

post some up.
i don't like 5-spoke rims...s o that's like 70% of the market right there.

those tires give me wood!!!!!!!!

 

[Lil Freek]

Negatize.. the rims must come in gunmetal or a dark colour of that sort. my car is silver to black (and all the shades between).. i don't like silver rims on silver cars (at least not my silver car)

da.. i'm going from the bottom of the barrel to something nearing the top

hey. i never thought of 5zigen.. they aren't bad - although the MSRP is like $120 more per rim than the Enkei's

 

[JOS3]

what is your price range? and what style of rim do you like best? mesh? 6-spoke? 8-spoke?

Bump

 

[Protege52003]

do you like the gun-metal/hyper-black with polished lip look?

i like the combo you placed on your first post.....

i bet the 18 inch konig holes would look nice on your ride.....

 

[JOS3]

NO konig holes!!! everyone has those damn wheels.

NO konig holes!!! everyone has those damn wheels.

Plus they're gaudy (gossip)

 

[Lil Freek]

i like many spokes - over 6. I have the FF7's now.. and there's not really enough spokes for me

I don't really care about a polished lip. It's nice, but i've seen nice rims without them too.

 

[Lil Freek]

what is your price range? and what style of rim do you like best? mesh? 6-spoke? 8-spoke?

i'm looking to spend roughly cdn$3000 (us$2500) on the whole setup. I'm up to about cdn$1300 with those tires.
Sooooo... lets say like us$250/rim

The whole thing with rims is that each person likes something different. That's why there's so many!

Why else do you think when you ask for opinions and say "I don't want 5 spokes" then someone inevitably says "hey get these, 5 spokes look great!".

Life is too short to get something you like only a little. If those rims you posted do it for you then get them. Screw what everyone else thinks!

If you see those rims and it makes you feel good, then every time you see your car you'll be happy, even if they are the ugliest rims to everyone else, YOU'LL BE HAPPY.

I was looking for rims for my wife's P5 we just picked up and I was looking for silver rims in the style you posted. I think they look nice. SHE DIDN'T LIKE THEM. So I let her pick out the rims she wants, no input from me at all. No now we'll get these and she'll be happy everytime she looks at it.
