enkei kojin

Anyone have any pics of these on a black IX? These look very promising as I love 5 star wheels but usually they dont look good on an evo.... Also can't find weights on the 18x9. Does enkei offer the best offset for max tire with no fender work in 18? If so which offset would this be? +38's with 265's? Would I want the 18x8.5 or the 18x9.5 to achieve this?

The two fitments we have are 18x8.5 25mm offset and 18x8.5 35mm offset. Both work fine w/out fender mods, but once you put a 265 on there I can't make any promises.

My .02 after lunch

With a +25, You will need fender work running a 255

+25 is very aggressive but will look great if you get the rear fender treatment

Unfortunately I think evo's look like *** with 5 spokes... but 10+ spokes is just too much work to clean so i think i'll have to bite the bullet and take ugly.

As much as I like that shiney metallic finish on the rp03's... the open center section looks like too much work to keep clean.... It's so hard to find pics of evo9's with rp03's... makes me guess that 5 spokes will be ugly.

I had suggested to someone earlier that the Raijin are nice and kojin are really nice if youre looking for that 5 spoke look.

raijin is another zillion spoke wheel
team dynamics only has one 5 spoke and it's discontinued
cosmis racing has only 1 size for 18 and thats 18x10 +25 in the model I want (MR7) Scared to find out how i'd get that to fit on a 8 body.. pics anyone?

In the model I dont want they have 18x8.5 +22 need 9 wide to run 265's

Neal if I went with the +35 i Wouldn't be able to use a hubcentric spacer. Do you think it would be a bad idea to go with the +25 so I could use the hubcentric spacer? Would the +25 give more of a concave look? Are there any disadvantages of using the +25 over the +35?
