I've made my decisions on what wheels to get and before I take the dive into this mod I wanted the board's opinion. I know it's my final decisions but I wanted to get some thoughts on it. Well I'm planning on getting some Enkei RSF-2 on 18" wrapped with Pirelli P7000 215/40/18. The rims are tires.com exclusive but a local shop can get them wholesale from them. The total price out the door on them (mounted, balanced, stems, and lugs included) is $1,340. Everyone's opinion would be greatly appreciated. I choose these wheels because I haven't seen these wheels on any car here in town nor on this board (knock on wood). Thanks in advance.

Nice choice, I really like that style rims except I always liked my rims in a white finish. Also I like 17" inch wheels but that's my choice since I have a TRD body kit. I think other kits suchas the blitz or kaminari would require 18". But good choice anyways.

you're right that it's ultimately your decision but i think you made a good choice. enkei is a good company and i think you'll be happy with their quality. i also like an open-spoke design like you've chosen. congrats!

with such low profile tires, how many miles do you expect to get before you have to get new rubber?

You know I'm really affraid of not being to get very many miles out of these tires because of its low profile. I guess it's just a price I'm willing to pay. I was really suppose to fit a 35 series but I went with 40 series to get a little more life out of it and to fill the wheel wells a little better.
