I wanted the ZR1 which are 18x8. They cost an extra 50 bucks a wheel and I was willing to pay, but the guys in the shop thought it wouldn't work. Since I would have to order them I wouldn't be able to exchange for the RSV if they really didnt work.

Here are the ZR1

Looks awesome Enkidu, I am glad to hear that you love them. I figured you would love the Enkei Anthracite.
Can't wait to see the daytime pictures of them.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of price did you get them for?

here is the scoop... I paid 160 for the motegi FF5 that I posted here in the past. Ordered them and took 1 week for them to show up. They got 4 lugs....... reordered... 2 weeks passed.... no answer... i go to the place, they didn't actually order them. I get ____ed... Guy takes me around to look at wheels they got... I see the RSVs and ZR1s on a catalog... liked them. Told him, "well, since u guys F'ed up, i deserve some 'reparations'" so i asked how much they would cost. he said 179 or so... but ordered at no extra cost. Same with the tires... i was getting BF Goodrich g-force, but the wheels wouldnt fit there and the tire looked A LOT wider than the 215 it says on the label. So they take me for a walk again saying I would have to wait another day or choose something they had. I ended up getting a 40 buck discount on each tire as well. Got free balancing and alignment too.

So wheels with tires ran me $1300 tax included. I could have found them for less online, but I was so undecided that I had to go to a store. Despite the F-ups they were really nice n all...

Damn that sucks about the wheel shop being some f*ck ups like that.
But at least you got something that looks really good.

They look good from the far shot but the closeup makes the center part of the wheel look too large. Probably just bad lighting. Hows the weight on the wheels compare to that of the stock ones?

new pics... I got surgery this friday, so i can't drive yet. So the pics of my wheels under the sun will be a few days away.




They are a bit lighter than the stocks... can't really tell u much diff from driving it. The tires have significantly more grip tho... Corners a lot better.

I really like the anthracite and finish on those wheels, but I don't care for the spoke design.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm doing better after the surgery and went for a ride today. Took 2 pics before I left. I put them up on my cardomain page... follow the link in my signature.

Peace
