Yeah can't go wrong with either and rpf1s are going to only be a few hundred away from tm02 if your going 19s. Might as well save and get what you want.

 

^^^ I think I got quoted for about 1700 for the rpf1 and 2600 for the tm02 both 19s so almost a grand difference.

 

go with what you really want. No need to settle for something that everyone already has anyway. I know how you feel because I'm saving for the TE37SL's...gotta keep my eye on the prize with those...$3500 will hurt a mans wallet but they're the best wheels out there IMO. Get the AME's!

 

I actually want the CE28s but damn they are way too much lol

 

Wait for the set of rims you really want.

I was in between getting a set of Enkei Raijins or PF01s. I could decide at all between the two, because I hated the +15 look of the Raijins, but loved the Raijin spoke pattern over PF01's. I ended up deciding on Raijins in 18x8.5+38. Pretty much stock specs.

Then it hit me, **** that! I'm going to buy these rims I am unsure of and I will definitely regret it down the road.

I ended up searching for AME TM02s and Weds Sport SA-55M on google and found a pair of Weds used for a really good deal that would have been close to what I would have paid for the Enkeis. I absolutely love the way these look too, no second guessing (except for a pair of AME's lol).

 

there's a set of 19 inch ce28s sold awhile back for $2400 i think. it's still mint. i would've bought it if only i sold my g2's. so just search and wait for someone to get tired of their setup.

 

They do look good but I might suggest you do some research before you pull the trigger and buy 19s. Every rim is different and certainly some are stronger than others but 19 will have a penchant for bending faster than an 18. The tire sidewall is less (as a percentage of the total circumference) and so will do less to protect the rim. Also, unless you run a very wide tire, you won't want to track a 19 much. You didn't indicate where you might want to or not but consider that the rim is a little heavier, so is the tire, and with that very low profile you have to be sensitive to rolling the bead (running a higher pressure can help). Finally, resale... For example, I buy almost every 18 x 10.5 rpf1 I can find (we have 4 sets) and there seems to be a much more active market for 18s over 19s for the Evo.

Just some food for thought.
