Scored these wheels at a local swap meet for next to nothing, and already on my car. Could never find the 4th Enkei rpo2j so they are on ebay now. [attachment=31839:attachment][attachment=31840:attachment]

Good classic look on a good classic car IMO.

Pic of Enkei is old and still shows scuff mark from previous wreck. What you think of the mesh wheels, should I get them painted black, strip the color and throw some clear or throw them on ebay also? Just for the curious folk, I have the 4x114.3 bolt pattern not the 4x110

The gold has to go https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png my vote is for the clear or painted grey.

Black mesh with polished lip, always looks good.

Looks like the offset is far too positive for much of a dish anyway.

Thats a good find. Its so hard to find the right looking wheels with the 4x110 pattern.

That's for sure, that was the main reason I switched to the GSL-SE suspension all the way around.





Anyone notice my seats are gone on the pic????? Scored some fiberglass seats at the swap and working on the seat rails. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

jgarza77 06-22-2005 09:32 AM

painted them gloss black with some VHT paint after drowning them with brake cleaner, what you guys/gals think? Now my tires look dirty.

hey at 25 bucks for the set I couldnt pass them up, you are right about the needing more lip, your wheels look hot. I would of preferred them with a bigger & high polish lip. Had some 13's a while back with a widebody that I gave away and have always wanted some like them but bigger, they are so hard to find in good shape and right bolt pattern though.

I know the feeling I have my car SA22 sitting right now waiting on a radiator along with my Jeep waiting for an engine, then my bud's 3000gt sitting waiting on an engine or someone to buy it......which BTW going price so far is 1400, then I go to my pops house and I have my brothers civic waiting on an engine, so much to do, very little cash, gates of hell have opened and it gets hot as hell out there to be working on the cars, and Bud Light Grand Theft Auto seems so much more inviting then being a grease monkey...... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The black is heaps better than the gold.

I like Enkei's, nice and simple design, easier to keep clean too
