View Full Version : Opinions on wheels (pics inside)
I needed to get some wheels as one of my front enkeis is damaged and letting out air so i picked up these dished wheels, 10j rear and 9 j fronts...
Now im trying to figure out what set up to run with..
Im thinkin of putting the 10j dished on the rear and 9.5 enkeis on the front and keeping the two sets of smaller width wheels for messing..
Please bare in mind i'm going to swap the tyres off the enkeis to the rear dished as the tyres on the 9.5 are bigger as you can see in the pics
Sooo opinions please

What offset are your 9.5J RPF1s?
Only 35et but i have 30 mm spacers all round
Are they 17" or 18"? They suit her leathal, much butter than the enkie's IMO.

enkei's are a fair bit nicer imo!
i like them new wheels.. something different, put them all on properly so we can have a look and sell me the two good enkies... yawhooo! no serious do!
enkeis are way better looking, if you cracked it on a pot hole can you not claim it from the council? Just take a picture of it beside the pothole and send the bill in for replacment for the wheel.

My own fault im afraid :(
I well prefer the enkeis not mad for the new wheels at all
I do like the Enkeis but if you have to change go with the 4 new ones i'd say

enkies all the way dude, they were perfect on the car
I well prefer the enkeis not mad for the new wheels at all
If i could i would be keeping all 4 enkei's on but until i get another set of 9.5 enkeis i have to do with somethin else

The enkei's are a WHOLE LOT nicer! but i need to take off the fronts

hahaha your some boy Si, The enkeis are goin nowhere lol and ill use the 8.5j front enkeis and front dish for messing wheels
enkies all the way dude, they were perfect on the car
I know but as above i need to change up the fronts due to a fooked wheel fml
Id look for a second hand set of the enkeis. AFAIK, JP over on sxoc still has his for sale :confused: New wheels look cheap imo.

Run eneki's up front and the wide dished at the rear.
Have the less dished ones for replacing the wide ones.
Front - Eneki's
Rear - Which ever rims that have tyres on them, work between the four of them.
I like the staggered look. It works in my books.!
Was always a rpf1 man but i like those rims on the rear, suit the car and most importantly there different

Yeah i know dude, the rears are okay, i quitr like them against the black. The fronts are poor offset but will do as spares so think im gonna put the 9.5j enkeis on the front and keep the 10j dished on the rears....that pic is just after i jacked the car up so it has settled a bit lower since. And dont worry if it can go lower it will go lower!

They'll do for now, but deffo leave the wider Enkeis on front and get some more 9.5s in the smaller offset for the back, or even 10s. Maybe 18s?
