|
|
Please vote to help me decide. Im in limbo right now. I love them all. I do like the 5 spoke design and i have always heard great things about 5zigen wheels except paint chipping occasionally. Correct me if im wrong. The Enkeis are popular and for good reasont they hold up and look good. I know the drift tC uses them and that some harsh conditons to put a wheels through. They are both lightweight. The enkei of course like 2-3 lbs lighter. But im still cant decide. Give me some pros and cons to each please. Then vote.
Thanks |

| enkies because the 5zigens will NOT look like that for the size and offsets available in 5x100 that will fit the tC |

| Oh i know that. I just threw up soem pics of the color choices. I know the 5zigens will look flush and not indented like that. I knwo those are the lowest offset and arte prolly a 18x10 or something. So would you guys still go with the enkei?? |

i guess it depends on when you look at it, because that drift tC also runs these (which would look cool too)
RP03's
or you could get these
those are the GTC-01s very light and they look great.
they are all about the same price. |

| Well i want 17x8 and i dotn think the GTC-01s are in that size. At least not where i looked. I just dotn think they would look to good on my car. Im very picky but who isnt on wheels. But I just went to0 FormulaD on Saturday here in Monroe, WA and he was rocking the rpf1's. |

RPF1
From your original post you’re looking for something light weight, and is still strong. From what I have seen, go with the RPF1’s. These are the most popular wheels I see at the track every weekend I go. And if you really want you can probably get them in the SBC finish (legit !!). |

5zigen does not make dual bolt pattern wheels. Those holes are just for design purposes. You can't even fit a stud through there.
My vote is RPF1 and if not GTC01's (hands down). |
