New wheels. Maybe.

[Fede_italiano]

Guys,

I might need to get wheels and I was wondering what your opinion was.
I have a Titanium MPS at stock height.

So far I like:

OZ superleggera-http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/289

Motegi DP6 dark grey=http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122146

Enkey RPF1-http://www.enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/RPF1.html

Konig Imagine Opale-http://www.konigwheels.com/catalog_product_details.cfm?CategoryID=1&ss_id=214

BBS CV=http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114570

Thanks for the input.

[MP3Architect]

post pics. im sure i already know what they all look like but i dont memorize all the rims.

 

[ChopstickHero]

i voted Enkei RPF1 ... cuz they're light weight and look good!

 

[haze20]

I like my Enkei's so I say the RPF1's. Mine are in the SBC finish by the way.

Those enkei's look good. I'm a sucker for the stock wheels, though. too bad they're heavier.

Those Konigs are hot.

Those Konigs are hot.

I like the motegi because they match the car and konig because of the lip. Pirana car is HOT.
I also like the fact that OZ and enkey are light but their design is maybe too simple.
I need to find a rim that will make the car look good at stock height and size.
If I cannot find a replacement for my stock one I will just try to find a good combination between price, look, weight.

Thanks again

Enkei Rpf1, if you can't afford the BBS or Superleggs.

Dealer told $571 for 1 stock rim.
That is as much as 4 motegi or 4 konig.

I went to Belle tire and they quoted me 920 for 4 RPF1, 720 for 4 DP6 and 600 for 4 Evo5.

Do you guys know if we are 17X7 or 17X7.5?

Thanks

I'm a bit biased. I love my RPF1s but I've also been a sucker for the OZs forever. $920 for a set of RPF1s is unreal, what that store's phone number? My buddy needs some!

stock MSP wheels are 17x7 5x114.3 +55 offset

so if you were to get something, get at least 17x7.5 or 17x7 +48 offset

In the store they had these ones and I liked the way they looked.

They will be 600 for mounting and all. Size 17X7.

nice, you can get away with 42 offset...

and that is a good deal on those RPF1s ... based on autornd's website, they are around $1150 and that's not including shipping yet.

What the relationship betwwen the offset and the width?
I tought that the stock ones are 17X7 as well.
You guys usually put 17X7.5 so that it will be larger wih the same tires on?

I know but the problem with the RPF1 is that I am not sure if they will look good of the titanuim. Also, you have to pay $100 if you want to have center caps.

I would not even be looking at rims if it wasn't for the fact that at least one of mines is bent.

Guys, I truly appreciate all your support.

Rim Diameter: The diameter of the wheel's bead seat where the tyre sits, NOT the overall diameter of the wheel.
​

Rim Width:The width of the wheel, measured from bead seat to bead seat

​

Off Set: The positive or negative distance from the wheel's centre line to the mounting surface of the wheel.

The 215/45/17 stock sized MSP tire can fit over a 17x7.5 rim fine. you get a slight stretch in the rubber, but it's fine.

15.2lbs for the 17x7.5" +48mm I have. Very light

I have no rubbing on my car with 215/45 tires, lowered about an inch past stock MSP ride height.
