Which of the 2 do you like better?





One of them comes in better offsets than the other so that may help me decide but I still want to know what you all have to say ?

badazzTL

first ones look too much like the optional acura rims. just my opinion

Fury TL-X

Bottom one looks cool.

NighthawkBlack

That was why I was concidering it but I don't know anymore. You think a 50 offset is really good because it is close to stock 55 offset?

TLluver

The Bortex rims look alot better and the offset is perfect. Plus I'm not into the chrome look but if you like it, hey go for it.

Edub-TL

I like the Bortex cuz of the proper sizing..

but have you considered the BBS RXII wheels?? They have an all silver centercap and rivets too.. they look more aggresive than the RX..

Chrome on NBP is sweet

NighthawkBlack

I like the BBS RX because the style is so close to the stock 16 inch. I would get them in 18x8 or 7.5 but the offset is cutting it close. On the other hand the Enkei's Bortex have a 50 offset in 18 x7.5 and that would fit sweet. This is a tuff call.

AzNTL

Deffinitely the Bortex

ElegantTL-S

Ooooh..the Bortex! It looks just like BBS rims....hehe....touring style baby.

bloo_tls02

Is there a choice for NEITHER ??!! If i did have to pick, it would prob be the second (not like there is much of a diff.).

tuRb0mikEy

Enkei RPOM 18x7

ElegantTL-S

BAM!!!!



much better

TLinKC

Go with these....

NighthawkBlack

Thanks for all your replies. I really am going to choose between the 2. Obviously they look alike because that is the style I like. My thing is the stock clean look and I don't like 3 pc rims with all the nuts showing. Thanks again I think I have made my choice,now I just have to find someone that sells these!

ElegantTL-S

hahaha, are we giving you a hard time?!

No like three piece? okie! here! :p :p



hehe, j/k! pick the Bortex!

NighthawkBlack

I hate all of you:p Stop it and just pic one of the 2

CalAcura

ALFAV6

Bortex..... i make it easy so i wont say any more

I love those Enkei's!!! Theyr'e light too! Let me know how much you end up paying for them!

SimTypeS

Enkei Bortex, for looks and size.
But, damn, if you can get the Enkei RPOM 18x7, jump on it. Those bastards are shweet.

Rim #2! I was looking at that type myself.

Rob, sorry I'm gonna post another rim but like Elegant showed, I love the Racing Hart C2 1 piece. It has a somewhat setback look (lip) to it that IMO is very important. But thats just what I like, the BBS is well BBS, loved them forever but not unique enough these days. The Bortex, I like em but they are to flush looking for my taste. BTW, I think those Bortex you displayed have that polished looking gun-metal paint. Just like on my sisters IS300, I think Lexus calls them "Graphite Polished". No matter, deciding on what wheel to get is pretty frustrating, good luck.

This is a pic off the gallery, don't know who's car it is. One thing I noticed is that I don't seem to see C2 one piece for sale compared to the 3 piece C2's so all my talking could be for nothing

The Bortex offset for the US model is not the best of fits. They haven'e even been released yet but the distributer told me that the offset was like 42. I am gonna get them shipped from Japan in bright silver with our bolt pattern and 18x7.5 in a 50 offset or 18x 8 in a 45 offset. havent decided yet but I want the perfect fit for my drop later. Having wrong offsets is fine on an ideal track but I dont want rub on the streets. Guess I like the stock look

modesto

The RX is more elegant; it will be my next upgrade. However, I like it in silver.

What I am trying to decide is the size: 17 x 7.5 or 18 x 8? Is 8" too wide? What is the offset for the 18?

speed

NighthawkBlack, how much would it cost to ship Japan?

Edub-TL

So any update on these wheels?? I like them alot, and if I can get them in the 18x7.5 +50 bright silver that would be sweet...

I know they make a 5x114.3 with this size, but I didn't know they made them in silver.. All the ones I've seen are Hyper Black

Where are you buying these from? How much?

valuetl

Glad to see Enkei decided to offer better offsets on their mesh wheels. 18 X 7.5 +50MM perfect. Jump all other those man!!!

is300eater

I like these... I was considering these before I bought my "Work" wheels... They remind me the wheels they put on the BMW 5 series... I especially like the "deep lip." Rare for FWD cars... Personally I don't like one piece wheels that try to look 3 piece... But this wheel is an exception.

lilboykorea

bortex...definately

how much are they? i want them too!

kk939

go with the chrome

speed

Nighthawk Black, did ya end up getting these rims? Do you have any pictures?

alex

Got_3.2?

iTrader: (2)

yea the Bortex looks hot. i got the acura option 1s that look like the bbs and people think they are aftermarket. the Enkeis look a lil weird for my liking. just my opinion.
