Shameless plug. But now you have a new japanese wheel choice at resonable prices!

http://www.g-speed.com/enkei/


ES-TARMAC in 15's



ES-TARMAC in 16's

(edit) and for those who aren't familiar with Enkei, they make most of Honda's aluminum alloy factory wheels including the fairly light weight VX, HX, and ITR wheels.

So when will they be available in 15x7 in 4x100. If so how much?

 

that info is just a click away...

15x7 4x100 40 11.1 lbs 235.00

10% off if you order before 3/31... $846 a set.

I already have an order that's ready to ship but with so many sizes available, I want to make sure i get enough popular sizes. Maybe I should just limit the availability to the standard size which for most honda chassis will be 15x7 et40. but i figure some would like to go 14's for light weight (and cheaper tires), and some would like to go 15x7.5 for max performance up front... etc.

sweet! i love these wheels! finally someone is bringing them in!

 

...whats the difference in the two wheels you posted? I like the top one better as it has radiused lips... Price, weight, and any different finishes?

[Edit]
Sorry, I clicked your link... however, the two pictures are different.

I think there is a picture difference because one is a 15" and the other is a 16".

top is pix of 15's, bottom are 16's. price, weight are all listed in the link. finish is currently in competition white only.

the 16's are very nice alternative to factory JDM 98 R's because they look really similar to them, but is lighter in weight and is almost half the price.

 

do they only come in white?

 

Which 14" rims can clear the GS-R brakes? Thanks.

 

I've always liked the NT303's. Those kind of remind me of them. Are they available at big retail spots like Tirerack ?

 

based on the spoke design and offset, i would say yes, but will have to test fit for sure.

HX are 14x5.5 offset 45 which requires just a 5 mm spacer to perfectly clear 10.3" brakes. so the enkei's at 14x6 et 35 should clear and 14x6.5 et28 should easily clear. I will not hold you to non-fundable if it doesn't fit. i'm pretty sure it will clear.

arunto: yes, white only for now.

discount tires has the RCT which looks similar to NT03 but i'm not sure if they're the same or not. based on the price it would seem like RCT is not the JDM NT03...
