Title: RZ-5 wheels
Post by: denious on March 20, 2007, 01:19:24 PM

Here (http://www.enkei.com/Performance%20specs/RZ-5.html)'s a pic and the specs of the wheels. Yes? No? Also 2 questions, what tires would you recommend for the front and the rear? I want wide ones in the rear if possible! ;)

My $.02, if you like the style of the rims and don't mind the 6.5" width, and using spacers and possible longer studs and hubcentric adapter then go for it.

I agree with alpine, although I would suggest the 16x7 (I like 16"s best even though i have 17s), but you definitly need spacers and longers studs.

Well I want gunmetal rims with a wide lip... So what are my choices which will fit nicely? Pics are very welcome! Basically gunmetal fits my plans for exterior mods...

And btw, I was going for 17"...

I'm going to stick with 15's. I'll post pics when I get my Konig Rewinds.

I don;t know about that style on the E30, seems too modern. Good lip though.

Horrible sizing and offset. You can get much better looking AND performing wheels.
