New Enkei RS05RR

much better than the Raijins (IMHO)

can't wait for sizes and pricing to come out... can vendors shed any light?






if priced like the FP01's these will prolly be the wheels I get, I just hope the offsets are more to my liking

Those do look sick. Any yes the Raijin is the most overhyped rim I have seen around here. I dont get it.

Looks ok to me. I like the overall design. Just a couple too many spokes for me.

no specs have been released yet that i know of. but if you look at the weight of other "lots of thin spokes" wheel, they're usually pretty light... so I'm hoping these are to

and according to this they're faster to (don't know what they're faster than though... and .05 sec is conditional variation than improvement in my book)

only thing I don't like is i don't think the size I want (9.5 wide) will be concave enough. if I had to get that 350Z has 9.5 wide on the front and those aren't really concave...

You'll have plenty of brake clearance after you've installed the spacers that you'll need. Looks like the 18x9.5 5x114s only come in a +45 offset. tee hee

Are these still not on the market? Almost a year later nothing to mentioned on these.... or did i completely miss something here. I'd be willing to run these but can't wait much longer.

These are JDM Enkei only. USA Enkei will not distribute these. You must black market these into America if you want a set.
