FedEx dropped the Enkei RP01s with Yokohama AVID tires off about an hour ago and I already mounted them on

They look pretty sweet...kinda too plain...but oh well.
Also..one of them is kinda scuffed up...not that noticeable...but still.
Also Im not sure if the offset is correct.
It says "16x7 32" on them..does taht mean a 32mm offset.
They dont stick out past the fender or anything..but they do stick out further then the stock wheels did.

I slapped them on the scale and with the tires they weigh 34.8 LBS each.
The stock LS wheels with tires weigh 34.0 LBS. (stock LS wheels are 15.5 LBS without tires)

Eh...I saved $325 over buying brand new ones...so I guess i did alright.

 

how are your avids on the road ex. are they quiet, grippy etc etc i like the rpo1's they are an older rim always love the older stuff

 

Havnt really driven it yet. Im at work

 

sweet let me know after you " break em in" hehehe i know your itching to heheh

 

if they are too plain for you , i might be interested. i love those rims

 

Heh...well lunch break came around..and I went driving

People always seem to look at you funny whne youre trying to slalom on the street?

So far so good. The tires seem alright...not noisy around corners. Grip while accelerating could be better. If I floor the throttle at around 2000 RPMs in 1st it goes but around 5500 it starts to break loose until 2nd gear..and 2nd gear left a pretty long mark...but of well.

Ill have to see how the road noise is on the freeway on the way home tonight.

 

Well..here ya go...



Now...this isnt my car exactly...
But my car is black, the same model year, a 2 door, same cleared headlights and same front lip spoiler.
Lowered the same amount...and those rims...so basically it looks just like that

 

why dont you want to show us _Your_ car?

 

I dont have any recent pictures of my car...thats why

If it makes you feel better...here's an old picture of my car...with my old rims

 

purrrdy.. when you do get new pictures
be sure to get an ***-shot of your car
with its new plates

 

Well here is what the Subzero's look like.
(These are actually real CP-035s...but Subzeros look the same)



I like how they look...but I prefer the look of the RP-01s. The Subzeros look too "cluttered"...especially at an angle...like the rear wheel.

What do you think?

 

I like the RP01s better

 

-green specularity
+amber corner
+cute lil sidemarker
= stoked fungus

 

EEWWW! LOL

Where do you guys see green? Does my moniter suck that bad? I see black.

Orange corners = ugly! I cleared them for a reason
Side marker = rice

 

rpo1's are the ****! i had a set a long time ago

 

haha.. the car looks greenish over here.

reason for the corners.. lets see if i
can explain this. all hondas have
black on them, red, green, yellow..
whatever the body color they all
have black. so, if you have clear
corners you get body color + black
+ white (clear corners) + red tails=
4 colors. black honda + clears + red
tails = 3 colors. hence the need for
amber corners (my opinion).

and the sidemarker.. that was just to
**** you off

 

HUH???

 

IT does kinda look green

 

i dont think i explained myself well. here..

 

LOL..so I HAVE to have those colors on my car or its not "oficially" a Honda any longer?

 

not at all.. i just think black hondas
look to simple/plain with clears.

hehe.. had to basterdize a DC5R
to explain that.. doh.

 

all you guys...just so you all know...those are REAL CP-035's!!!! not knockoff subzeros...theyre not the CP-35's that are cast, those are the super lightweight forged ones...and yes the enkies are nice...those were my friends wheels, and i took those pics...theyre very nice wheels...

 

Val...those are great wheels. Made me a happy man for 3 yrs. I hope they do the same for you.

Slo_teg...Yes you took those pics and the world thanks you!

 

finally...some f@#*ing recognition for the pics...aaaahhh!

 

I have same rims HX guy USED TO have , but mine are gunmetal. They are OK, but kinda heavy.




I have since went to an OEM kit, and dropped the car another inch.
