Which wheels do you like better for a silver 06 IX

Enkei RPF1
Color = SBC
Size =18x8.5 with a 30mm offset (I was told would fit without spacers)
I will be purchasing the Center Caps and Screws



OR

Enkei NTO3+M (I am leaning towards these)
Color = F1 Silver
Size = 18x8.5 38mm offset (I was told would fit without spacers)
Comes With Center Caps





I just sold my Rota D2's and I am looking for a change. Thanks for the opinions.

Tire size would be 245/40/18, I had 255/35/18 and I would like a bigger sidewall.

I have both.. hmm

RPF1 is lighter

But NT03M is stronger

Its a hard decision there...

If money isn't an issue, I would just buy both

Unfortunately I do not have money to buy both LOL.

This is the car they will be going on:








Speed Element please pm me prices for the two wheels with the offsets that I mentioned without tires. And if you do package deals with tires please tell me the type of tires in the size I mentioned and price.

Thankyou

I like the NT-03 because it looks more aggresive. Either wheel looks good.

I've sold wheels and tires for a while and I suggest you make that decision for yourself. If you are concerned with weight and performance you can look those details up on any Wheel Manufacturer's web site. Too many guys on this site rely too much on what everyone else thinks. Unless you aren't the one that has to drive the car, you should think about making the car look good to YOU.

But if you must know, they both look cookie cutter to me. I don't like ANY wheel that you can find a near match for in ten other wheel manufacturers.

The Enkei RPF1's look a lot like stock IX's to me... I think the black ones you already have on are a lot catchier than the two choices.

I love these wheels, my favorite is the flat black or gloss black with the TI lip.

that's defiantly top 5, hottest wheels for the Evo IMO

No I liked them, just wanted to change the look of the car. I have nothing but good things to say about Rota wheels.
