Default Someone please photoshop my Enkei Choices onto my BSP tC

Im going with Enkei wheels for sure, as my last set of Enkei's I loved for thier style and relatively light weight (RS6s on 03 Grand Am, check link in sig)

I think I have narrowed it down to two wheels:

The RS7 18x7.5 (in anthracite)
http://www.edgeracing.com/images/wheel/enkei_wheel_rs7_(anthracite)_angle_zoom.jpg
and the OR52 18x7.5 (also in anthracite) http://www.edgeracing.com/images/wheel/enkei_wheel_or52_(anthracite)_angle_zoom.jpg

The RS7 is more expensive, weighs slightly less and has an offset of 35

The OR52 is cheaper, slighltly heavier (1 lb) and has an offset of 38.

I doubt the 3mm difference will be noticable seeing as how both rims are the same width, and 3mm is what, like, 1/5 of an inch?

Thanks!

Definitely the RS7s! Anthracite is a hawt color! I have a set of the 18" Flik Artic in Anthracite and just the color! Anthracite is the "new black".

So 3 (plus 1 more so far on the other forum i frequent) for the RS7s and 1 for the OR52s.

I always wanted to OR52s on my Grand Am ... but I think the RS7s will compliment the tC better than the ORs...

I like the fact that the OR52s come in 18x8.5.

Do you like the Evo Series?

If you look on edgeracing.com, there are some shot of the rims on a tC. It's white and has a good drop; however, the rims are not Anthracite. They look nice on tC nonetheless.

Happy BDay BuddhasTC!

Alright well I have settled on the RS7 for sure, but Im debating on 17s or 18s.

Obviosly the 18s are going to look somewhat better, but a 17" wheel already does well on this car... so from a money stand point is it worth the $140 savings over all (wheels and tires) for the smaller wheels.

Also the RS7s are sold out... crap... I guess it is winter though
