I would suggest against those wheels.

I think 17x7.5 or 17x8 front would be a better fit with 215/40/17 tires
The rear, 18x9.5 or 18x10's with a 265/35/18 tire or 275/35/18.

I think Enkei came out with a new RPO wheel that I like....

Just my opinion though.

Good luck,

Here is the wheel I was referring to....

Enkei RP05 couresty of TireRack.com

 

[DRIFTER]

I would say save your money and buy a better quality wheel. Enkei wheels have a tendency for the clear coat finish to peel and oxidize, from my experience on my daily driver. They are however cheep:smile:

I can't comment too much on that, as I have very little experience with Enkei wheels. But from what I recall, weren't the NA1 Type R wheels Enkei?

Also, the 2002+ yellow spare tire that I have says Enkei on the inside of it if I'm not mistaken. :smile:

I think the stock wheels are made by enkei.

 

[NSXDreamer2]

Enkei made OEM wheels, and they have different companies in different countries for their many lines. The racing line wheels are generally higher quality and many high dollars tuners or even racing team use them.

GTC01, RP05, RP03, Nt01, NT03M and RPf1 are all high quality ones. However, the one op wants to buy is more for FWD cars. 7.5 inch wheels are way too narrow for nsx rear. Stock 15/16 size is 8 inches wide at the back.

 

[s14_tat]

if its enkei's, i'm a fan of the RPF-1, or the RP05. Most of the other wheels are overly styled.

 

[DRIFTER]

I think the stock wheels are made by enkei.

If that is so, my stock wheels have held up very well for being 16 years old. But my aftermarket enkei wheels were $hit after two years on my AUDI

I have RP03's on my Supra, and really like them.

again, drifter, what kind of Enkei do you have exactly??? curious to know, and exactly what do you mean by $hit?? out of round? bent, cracked???

 

[angus]

I have RP03's on my Supra, and really like them.

what are the sizes/offsets on your supra?

 

[Mike O]

what are the sizes/offsets on your supra?

They are 18x8.5 front with a +35 offset and 18x9.5 rear with a +38 offset.

I have the Evo 6's on my Legend and I love them. I know another guy with Evo 5's and he loves his too.
Here's pics of mine....http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/f94/presenting-my-new-wheels-122710/

 

[superstef]

hi have the rz5 17-7 18-9.5 wit a 285/30/18 at the rear ! love it looks better after instal it on the cars!!

 

[TOOLTIME]

Cleaning my spare wheel today and I notice that it says Enkei on it.

I thought Enkei 92 was a replica wheel compare to my Epsilons in the late 80's. Now Epsilon don't exist anymore and Enkei is still around.

 

[Acura NsX Pilot]

I love Enkie wheels .... there strong and in the earlier years pretty cheap to own. I beat the hell out of my earlier set and still have them. My OZ racings on the other hand are soft as hell and bend if you look at them wrong. In two years I been through six wheels and the paint job on them isnt so great.

 

[Hapa88]

You guys realize that this is a bump from 4 years ago??

Yes I know that.

I didn't want anyone to say "search is your friend or this is a repost!"

Haha, that's a good one!
Well, I guess it's a Lose-Lose! Haha

I have pf01s on my car. They were reasonably priced, are light weight and have held up on the track plus I didnt have to wait 5 months to get them!
