I'm planning to order ENKEI RPF01 14x7 et19
I just wondering, is it hard to find the tires for this rim locally?
And would it be a special order tires and cost a lot to buy?
Need information of what tires fit perfectly on the rim, i don't like thick but not too thin profile..

Example:

Not an expert on tyre sizes, but if you want to upgrade your brakes to larger rotors and calipers you will have fitment issues without spacers.

There really nice light rims though

search? ask the tyre guy?

tyre guy lol ok..
Anyone know things about this?
Are they discontinued?

I'd go 15" or possibly 16".

That way you have more tyre options and can fit bigger brakes.

Tyre options are far more limited than 15's, but they are often cheaper. I run Bridgestone RE001 in 185/45/14 on mine as I was quite low at the time. They're a brilliant street tyre and quite cheap. However, since becoming more interested in times and less about the car looking cool, I've raised the car and no longer need the stretch. I will be going wider as soon as these wear out.

I know of another guy in Sydney running Dunlop Star Specs in 195/45/14. From everything I've heard they're a gripppier but faster wearing tyre. Also more expensive than the RE001. Plenty of guys in the states are running slicks up to 225 widths on these.

Presumably you have an NA? If you go with these wheels you won't be able to go any larger than NB8A brakes.

Do you have picture of your car, if you don't mine. thx

Sure.

Whoa nice, where can i get these tires. I like them..

They’re Bridgestone tyres so any Bridgstone reseller should be able to get them for you. But more importantly, you want to buy them based on looks?

Either way, there’s a whole thread devoted to these wheels on CR.net if you’re interested. Linky

ok2, Thx a lot mate. Yea the look, not so much to the performance..
