Mystery Wheels..
 
What kind of rims are these?!

That's the Enkei RPM-2, although the centercap indicates otherwise.

If interested I'll look into it. I know, it's beautiful, kinda like a BBS.

Yeah I am very interested, bronze rims on blue cars looks the best IMO. these look like 18's, could you get some kind of deal on these for me?

BTW are you sure they are Enkei's? Nothing on their website and a broad search on google for Enkei RPM-2 returns ziltch..

Kincaid December-19th-2001 01:26 PM

Rishie, I'm pretty sure they are TBS11's.

And are we sure they are bronze? They look kinda like Gunmetal to me.


TBS11's are also in the middle of this page:

Ha. I just found the RPM-2's on the Enkei site. And that is indeed what they are. They are in Hyper-Black flavor.

Although the TBS11 and those do share alot of the same ideas don't they?

And the center cap doesn't say "Enkei" or the symbol. The lineup is called "Bortex RPM2" and it says "Bortex" in the center cap.

NEVER DOUBT THE WHEEL GODDDDD!!!!!! j/k. hehe.

I saw this wheel quite a few months ago and was very impressed with it. I will make some calls tommorrow. I do believe those are what's called a hyperblack finish.

See ya later, Rishie

HELL YEAHS! thats what I'm talking about, you guys think those would look good on a Midnight Blue Pro5? What kind of alloy is that?

azrakain December-21st-2001 10:45 AM

Those are nice. I would be interested in those as well. How much can you get them for ARD?

They're on a Midnight Blue Pro5 in the pic up top aren't they? I seen that over at Overboost.com.

Kincaid December-21st-2001 12:19 PM

Yeah.

Here it is:

About three quarters of the way down the page. Just above the Ballistics Protege.

Also of interest is this little baby has a turbo in it :D

ARD MP5 December-21st-2001 03:00 PM

Damn, unfortunately the offset produced in the 18,7.5 is a +40. This will definitely rub in the rear. I am curious to know if they cut the fenders or something, or got a special offset produced.

I can get the wheels, but they are not cheap for what they are. The best I can do on the RPM-2 is around $360.00 ea. plus shipping and hardware. I do not reccommend this fitment as I know it will rub and will require serious modification.

Sorry guys, RIshie

If there are enough of you guys interested, I will call Enkei directly and see if they can produce a limited production run of these wheels for us. I'll probably need to buy from 10 - 20 sets of wheels to do this. I have yet to find a company turn down money, plus this would fit the prelude perfectly.

Rishie

MAZDA is releasing the Turbo next year, so I guess we got assed out. I will be getting rid of my BPU MP5 with rims and everything. Take over lease payments. THis will be sometime next summer.

If you guys liked the look of those mags, they're SOOOOOO many that have a similar design... The very first company to make mags like that was TSW and they were called the Hockenheim
http://www.tswnet.com/new/images/whe...heim_front.jpg
The design was first used in Formula One, I think. In this style, I personnally prefer the Enkei Zoku. I almost bought those instead of my RS6s...

or Hurricaine

5Zigen Heidfeld, Primax 496, ADR M-classic, RPM KMC, and the list goes on and on and on.... As you can tell, this was originally my favorite style when I started looking for mags... Hope that helps! I'm sure at least one of them comes in the size you're looking for...

newfiep5 December-23rd-2001 08:08 PM

I like this style of rims too..checked around and most are only in the 40 mm offset...
I also like the chrome versions..
does anyone make this in the offset to fit the pro 5 in this look?
I know the 5 zigen fits but cost wise anything cheaper?
plus they arent chrome?
