I ordered my new wheels tonight since i sold my volks about 2 weeks ago.

I ordered a set of Enkei RPF1s in 15x7 with +41 offset the only color they come in for that size is silver so i am trying to think of how to paint the wheels or if i should paint them or not.

i was thinking of doing them electron blue pearl maybe do the whole wheel blue or maybe just paint the spokes blue and leave the lip silver.

here is what the wheels look like.

and for reference the way my car looked with my blue volks.

dude chill what kinda of wheels do you own?

i sold the volks cause they rubbed when i take my car to the track which is why i built my car so i sold the volks so i could get a set of wheels that didn't rub when i auto-x or roadrace. plus the enkei are lighter than the volks and the set of enkeis i got are race proven look at how many grass roots racing teams use them.

yeah they are more people using them cause they are really good wheels and not to expensive they were only 200 each so it was all good.

I wasn't tryin to argue with you man. I was just sayin I liked the look of the volks better. I just meant I liked the look of the volks more than the enkies. BUT that's just my opinion. I'm tryin to save up for a set of volks. :mrgreen:

i really didn't want to sell the volks but like i said they rubbed when i raced so i couldn't have that so i got a set of wheels with a better offset.

thought of polishing them but that would suck after about 2 or 3 track events.
