Prolly a NEWB question...

Im prolly gonna get flamed for this, but i DID actually search for this and didnt come up with anything...
Are the Stock Enkei's off an 03 the same size wheels as the BBS's off of a 06 MR??
I have a chance to get a GREAT deal on them (as i have wanted them for a long time) but the guy wants to keep his new toyo proxes, and i would like to keep my Eagle F1's...

thanks in advance for the help...

I am not sure if the wheels are the same size. The tires are the same size on all evos. SO you should have no problem putting your tires on your friends wheels

A lug nut removal set would probably not be a bad idea...........or try to get a key, a lot of the aftermarket ones (i.e. autozone) use the same key, it is like a regular socket with the corners rounded in. The only one that would be really to find is the kind that has a squiggily(?) design on the top and is round on the outside, because there are tons of different ones.

i have the one with the indents on the outside, not the one with the little "squiggly" thing and smooth outer edges. my buddy is going to pick up a "lock buster" set from sears hardware right now to see if it will work.....i want these damn rims!!!
