17x7 Enkei RSV's w/Progress springs - 06
 
Here is my 06 ES, Lowered it last week with Progress springs and put the wheels on yesterday :)

Turbo kit will be going in a few weeks (all I need is a oil feed line and my manifold flange welded).

I am happy with the wheel gap reduction, however I know I need a full lip kit, or at least side skirts.

Looks good.

Enjoy them before you regret them.

Thanks, what do you mean before I regret them?

*Pics are back up!*

They will ruin your shocks over time which will result in bumpy ride and bad handling.

Unless you mean the wheels will? If thats the case, I have no problem getting aftermarket shocks if needed.

Not to flame the RRM, but vendors will always say nice stuff about their products because they want to make the sales.

Ask others for their opinions before making the final decision.

BTW...Wheels have nothing to do with killing your socks.

Everyone always says springs will ruin your shocks, and oh those are ghey bla bla. I have asked this before and I got zero answers... who of you have actually blown shocks with lowering springs that are 1-1.5" drop? Please tell me if you have.

Try detailed search. I have seen lots of people complain about the springs, including myself. I learned the lesson hard way by blowing my stock shocks.

270 views and 10 worthless comments (for the most part)

I like them they look good! I would like to see a picture from farther away, btw what tires are you running? I am looking for new tires what are your impresions?

also get the full lip kit! looks way better

MK3Design Mar 22, 2008 03:17 PM

They came with federal tires, I ordered kumho's but they upgraded me to these because I waited so long for the wheels to get in stock. I havent ran hard with them to much, but I can no longer spin the wheels when shifting in second.

I'll be doing a full shoot in a few weeks when the turbo kit is on. After the turbo is done a lip kit will be next, well maybe after brakes.

sly Mar 23, 2008 04:01 PM

Ahhhh....my rims lol looks good. Those 205/40's? Seems like its still kinda high, but its prolly just the tires.

Nice wheels! I wanted to get a set of Enkei wheels myself but am unsure of which style to go with and what size. I want something that isn't heavy, but is stylish to look at. Can't really lower my car because of how bad the streets are around here, nothing but crap.
