Finally installed my 3rd set of wheels, ugly but functional ;-)





I mainly got these wheels for street/highway and the rare and occasional visit to the dragstrip....

17X8 +35 offset Enkei RPF1's mounted on brand new Yokohama A046's, weighs 15.5 pounds compared to the 17.77 pound MR BBS wheel. I'm using the short version, black RAYS lugnuts...

And for summer pimpin around town:

18X8.5 Ralliart RO1's with Yokohama A048's

Those wheels are light as ****, but just look so small for our vehicles. Great track rims.

I actually like how it looks compared to your other rims.

Other rims? The only "other" rims I currently have now are the MR BBS's and the Ralliart RO1, I'm selling the BBS's by the way

These wheels aren't totally ugly, you just need to pick the right offset for RWD cars and run a spacer up front.
