Enkie RPF-1's, Cheap, light, strong. You will even have enough left over to powdercoat them.

Don't go with knockoff's...$1800 will buy a very nice setup. Used volks, advans, rays, wedsport etc.

+1000 on buying a set of real wheels an not the knock off rotas. There's been plenty of threads on here and other forums about fiment issues on them since they are NOT CNC machined. My vote goes to BBS SE diamond black. buy mine

Please refrain from speaking when you know nothing of the subject you are trying to explain. The post above is an epic fail on your part sir.

I have owned everything from $4K HRE wheels on my E46 M3 to $400 Rotas on my old Hondas. I beat the living S**T out of them equally and never had an "issue" like these "people" you overheard on the "internet"

I must say for the price you can not beat Rotas. Is a Volk or Advan going to look slightly better or maybe be a tad lighter is some cases? Sure. But I know one thing that is going to be lighter as well, my wallet. No thanks!

Do what makes you happy, don't listen to some nerdy little JDM kid from the West Coast that is spending Mommy and Daddies money on some 3k Volks.

wheels

Just make up your mind for yourself...it's what you like...it's your car...i got my rota's and I love them...

knock off...whatever

if you don't have the money for Volk te's, or the like then look at other option's...maybe you have a family and bills to pay, maybe not, Just look around and you will find somthing that suit's your needs and wants...just my 2 cents...the "quapolic" is right ^check out the above site!
