A guy in WOSCA just ordered a new Enkei that looks like the K1, weighs the same and cost $160 CDN! It was for a Civic so I don't know if they have our bolt pattern. It was through Wheel and Tire Zone.

i'm lookin for 17x7 5x114.3 in SILVER... for some reason, silver costs more than anthracite or white. weird.

the highest offset in 17" is +43 i believe. if not, please correct me. since its for a gen5 lude, the highest offset is preferred.


best price i got was 190USD. (then u add up all the shipping and taxes and exchange rate... )

please email me your price..

I think those are 15". Marsh uses the 15" Kosei's for auto-x/track.

Call Wheel and Tire Zone and ask about the rims that "Doug Elcombe" is getting. He is part of the WOSCA group buy, so don't qoute the price I gave you, it might be a deal, and I might get in trouble for making it public.

But yes I meant 15" Enkei.

I haven't seen them, but apperently they look very much like the K1. Doug looked around and decided my rims were the best looking that fit his needs (as a race rim), but like you he couldn't find them and some how these came up.

OK I just looked at Enkie's site. I'm 99% sure it was the RP02.

What am I your father?

I was just suggesting an alternative that I knew someone else took.

Why is it every time I try and help someone on the internet I end up making 3 more posts explaining my self then regretting getting involved in the first place.

This is why my post count is so low.
