Question Opinions Please...

Hi everyone!

I am currently looking for some new wheels, have narrowed it down to the 3 attached Enkei SR6, EV5 and Raijin, and wanted to get some opinions... My Z is Black and am looking for a gunmetal color. Buuuuuuut you know how women are and making decisions lol, especially not being able to see them on the car. Just would like some outside input.

Thanks!

They all look good. Pick the lightest one in an appropriate size.

really? RPF1's are available in our size if you like tracking.


out of the 3, i would get the 3rd one (mesh). but i hope those are 19" wheels and are in our offsets.
18" mesh are a tad small looking for our cars.

... or, just get factory 19" wheels.

well, maybe do this if you like raijin... if you have sport brakes, youll need to check clearance.

19x9.5 SQUARE setup
467-995-6515 HS BK ET15 5x114.3 (for your rear)
467-995-6535 HS BK ET35 5x114.3 (for your front)

GL!

Yep. Too narrow. There's no reason to get anything narrower than a 9+" wheel in front, and a 10+" wheel in the back.

the original forgestars come in 19x9 ET32 range? if stock, the fronts going to stick out too much (poke).

the concave forgestars dont come less conservative than ET25, i dont think. will poke too much on stock setup on the front.
