Enkei Bortex RPM2
 
Hey, does anyone know where I can find these in 18"? Tires.com has them in 17" in 5x100 but not 18".

Vivid Racing has them for $239 for the 17's and $274 for the 18's.

thanks

btw, is it true what I've heard that BBS makes these for Enkei?

There are many sets for sell on ebay too!

I believe all the sets are 18"

the price starts at 790USD

I think these are damn nice rims!! forged too~

don't know if BBS made them for enkei though.....

Be Careful
 
I have these on my 2002 Blaze yellow WRX and I have 235/40/17 tires and I would strongly suggest not going with the 18's if you plan on driving on the street. Yes they would look cool but I have come very close to bending one of mine and a 18 would be even worse. Plus from every thing I read about 18's on a WRX it would kill performance. Go with some springs and 17's

Just my $.02 worth

what offset are you using?

atf78 01-01-2003 12:54 PM

Check out [url]www.whalentire.com[/url], they have them in 18" for $250 each.

WRX4FUN 01-01-2003 01:55 PM

Mine are 48mm offset

Go look at my car pics in the Gallery

They look just like the BBS wheels. Will 48mm offset work on a wagon?

WRX4FUN 01-01-2003 04:59 PM

I don't know about the wagon. I have seen the OZ wheels in 48mm on a wagon but I think you would need to go with 225/45/17 tires to be safe.

Also several sights say my wheels are forged but they are not. When I had the tires mounted you could see the casting marks. They are very nice wheels and I am 100 % satisfied with them. I bought these local for $205.00 each but I saw them at [url]www.tires.com[/url] for $220.00 each plus free shipping.

I just ordered the Enkei RPM2's from Whalen Tire for my wagon. 50mm offset and Kumho 225-45r17s. Good prices and service.

nielksj 01-02-2003 02:16 PM

They only come in Hyper Black and look silver on the face. The inset part is black
