18x7.5 Enkei RPM2 or RH Evo C3

Guys, I'm seriously thinking about getting rims(since I have some money now) and need some help.
I'm looking at Enkei RPM2 and RH Evo C3 (both look almost identical) I haven't been able to find the offset on either one of these. I was wondering if anyone know the offset that these come in.
Also on a side note: I know the 18" Enkeis are 17.5 lbs, but not sure on the RH Evos. If anyone knows the weight of'em I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I believe the Enkei's are 42mm offset. charlesnguyen has it on his car and it looks great.

and I also believe the RH's are 45mm...also a good fit.

They are fairly identical looking but ones gunmetal and the other is silver. That's a pretty big difference.

I'd go with which ever rim has a better finish and price. I didn't find the finish on my old RH C2 that great. But with the C3s, you might need to shim the front wheel out so the rim will clear the calipers.

I have those ENKEI rims and they have a 50 offset. They look great but I doubt you will find that offset here.

I llooked around during the ballgame. Wheel Connection, 18x8, $329. Hubcap-tire-wheel.com, 18x7.5, $253. Discount tire direct, 18x7.5, black, free ship, $265. This is for the Enkei RPM rim, one site called it the Bortex. I think it is the same. Enkei home stated $439. Some huge disparities in dollar amounts. Do not know why. I have an interest in this rim also. Let us know how it works out for you. Sieze ya.

RPM-2 and Bortex may be different... check the weight... Now Konig have Helium and other Ultra light rims...

My next rims would be 18x8 with less than 15 lb this is for the S4

Get the RH C3's.... you can get good deals on those. The C3's are around $250 each. At least the places I have found them at. I am about to get either the C3's, C5's, or the S15's...

OK, this subject went to the second page so I'm going to Jack it.
Notice my last post where I mentioned three rim dealers? Here comes the rookie part. How do you brilliant computer guys place and highlight the sites address here? I'm feelin' real humble now. Trying to be a good member.
