Smile Enkei Rims

I need to make a decision and could use some input.

Specs: 19x8.0 48 Offset 18.7lbs

225/35/19 Tires (haven't decided which ones)

I'll probably end up cutting the tabs and rolling the fenders.


Anyhow, within the next 2 weeks I plan to place an order for wheels. My 17's are a little boring so I'll use them as my winters. I've been going nuts trying to find a nice set of rims that will compliment the car.

So what do you guys think about the Enkei RPF1? Below is a quick snap shot of my car and different angles of the Enkei rims

Do you guys/gals feel that the thin spokes wont suit the car very well? Any other suggestions on rims? Budget is under $2500 with tires.

I think those would look hot in 19's. Where are you ordering them from if you don't mind me asking?

I'll go to a few shops in the area and see which shop will give me the best deal. I'll probably end up going to JRP to order them seeing as they've been pretty good to me.

Oh local, I see. Just a heads up, discounttiredirect.com is now offering free shipping for Canadian residence as well as covering the customs and duties fees. I never got a chance to take advantage of this. They have a good selection of rims, and the tires they have are by far way cheaper than prices in the GTA.

I had a look at the site, they dont carry the Enkei RPF1. Thanks for the heads up dude. If you come across any other sites or know of any local shops that would save me a bit of cash let me know, I'd appreciate it.

I cannot get over how hot they look on the tsx. If my car comes even close to looking this nice with the rims on then I'll feel damn good about my purchase.

one of the cleanest aftermarket wheels choice. It would look even better if you shave those rear spoiler though.

with that rim setup, you shouldn't have to roll fenders...maybe, just maybe a slight fender tab trim up, but that is a good offset. I trimmed my tabs with my 19x8 and 45 offset wheels with 235 tires and didn't rub, so you will be just fine on that setup with little to no fender tab modification!!! Hell yeah, do it!

not a big fan of the rims either. I guess i'm boring and like them simple 5 spoke rims or meshes. haha not a big fan of enkei since you could find these rims all the time on civics/integras. I like the volks,works,racing harts,RH rims instead of enkei's =P

I think you could go wider with your tires...

I think there are a set of 18" silver RPF1's for sale in the BM.
