Default 8lb wheels installed :)

All I can say, is MY GOD. what a ******* difference. It's liek night and day.
the cornering- the accel/decel, the braking, the hard corners...
I fell out of my seat a couple times- a DEL SOL SEAT - trying to take a corner. car stuck. no scretching- i can't stay in the car.
bad ***.

**** rims over 10lbs.
and **** anyone who says Azeni's suck

if you read the tire it says 205/50/15. kinda hard to make out, but that means the rims are 15x??

my eyes and the picture sucks.

I couldn't make out the last digit....kept thinking 16, then thought 14....but was almost sure they were 15's.

they make cool tires in 14" as well
205/55R14 (for MR2 Turbo version)
195/45R14 and few other cool ones.

i guess they only come in 15x7" with 41 or 35 offset (color options, silver/white/gold (at least in JDM land)

anyways nice wheels. RPF1s




more cool enkei wheels

Funny...they weigh 9.8 pounds on a digital scale. Where are you getting 8.0 from?

beautiful setup. Good to see something other than black and bronze. An online miata store had a killer price on the 15" a month ago. Less than $190 each I believe.

Nice wheels, but Enkei advertises the 15" RPF1's to be 9.9 lbs. Where did u get the 8 lb figure from?

to clear up some confusion, they are 15x7 +41 and only come in silver, unless you get the 17's which have gold i beleive.

where did I get 8lbs from? my bathroom



hahah i know, not the most accurate thing in the world, but i calibrated it real good, and placed a known 10lb object on it, and it read exactly 10 lbs. I think its fairly accurate reading I got... give or take a couple tenths.

for the person who asked, i don't know the total combo weight, but let me tell you- the Azeni's are NOT light.
