New wheels--but which ?

Basho · Postby **Basho** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 12:30 pm

I'm going for some aftermarket wheels for my NA shortly (when my wallet has recovered from the current hits).

I'll be looking for a 15" rim and I've come up with Enkei RPF1 but they only go a 15x7.

Idealy I'd like a 15x6.5. I've found other 15x6.5 's but they are all boat anchors , whatever I get it will have be under 5.5kgs a corner and not more rhan $1000.00 for the set delivered.

This puts the likes of Minilites @ $575 ea right orf the menu :lol:

Any sugestions anyone ?

Why do you only want a 6.5?

Have a look in Apu's Build thread.

His wheels are 15x7, look great, great quality and the weight you are looking for, as well as eaaily within your budget. Have a look and PM him about size and style availability.

I've got an NA6 1.6 basic (no air no power etc) I won't be pushing it around hard and whilst I can use a bit of extra rubber with a 195 I don't recon I need the extra bit of drag that a 205 I'd need for a 7" rim would give me , especialy as it needs to be run at 28 to maybe 30psi.

I don't like stretched tyres either.

Or just call me picky.

A 195/50/15 is the perfect size of tyre for a 7 inch rim.

Take Project R up on his deal, or buy your RPF1s. Both are perfect for your needs
