i'm not proud to admit that i switch up rims so often that the tires they come with (usually PS2s) never have gone thru 1 tire set (rears typically right) replacement due to wear.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Keeping in mind that my photo chopping ability sucks, which one of these two styles do you like better and what color do you think i should paint em.
NOTE: IF THIS WAS A QUESTION ABOUT WHICH TRACK WHEELS WERE BEST, HANDS DOWN THE ENKEI's WOULD WIN. But it isn't, its about wheels/style for both street and track, all purpose so to speak.
Info:
LEFT SIDE
OEM Turbo II Solid Spokes
Weight: Heavy
Style: Classic, but might look a little bulky for the smaller narrowbodies.
Price: anywhere from 500-1200$ for replicas to OEM's.
RIGHT SIDE
Enkei NT03+M's
Weight: 19lbs front 20lbs rear
Style: racey, my photoshopping ability sucks, maybe someone could do a better job ?
Price: 1500$ or less
Maybe if someone has the time, could they photoshop the enkei's into a black color or maybe black with a red pinstripe?
I did a pole amongst my close peer group and will post up the results later on so as not to bias anyone's opinion here.
neither. at your price point, i'd totally hook it up with the bbs mesh oem sport design wheels. i love the look of the aerokit man.
cool of u to ask for our opinions.
not sure yet.
for you US guys tho, i would contact vivid racing, they sell them and probably have em instock.
i ordered enkei's from them for my rx-7 and their pricing was hard to beat and they got them to me fast which was important. waiting for rims from japan sucks
anyhow,
ben: i agree with you 100%, if i can find a set of sport designs i will get them. i'm trying to get as many pics and opinions on the Enkei's tho, because they're so light. Ive had OEM wheels, 9ff wheels (lightest) and some of the heavy bling wheels, and the weight is noticable to me. I'm in no immediate buying rush rite now so if i come across some sport designs, game over. Thanks for your opinion.
^ yeah...they would be fantastic rims if it wern't for two things:
1) the secondary ring that they have connecting the spokes.
2) the center area has these recesses around the bolt holes, like old mustang rims or Fuches...really..WTH i s that...this is 2008 for god sake.
on that note, if someone has a set of TE37's they want to sell me, i wouldn't be opposed
deadeye not sure if you know this but these enkeis are knock-offs of the original mugen design. mugen = pricey japanese race shop with mad great motorsport history (supplied engines in F1 back in the honda glory days).
i love how mesh looks rollin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7IgCnTtwfs
utter perfection these bbs lms on the mk1 gt3, this vid is the reason why i love the 996 mk1 aero
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGyZcCfnYt0
didn't know that mugen had the style first.
hell i didn't even know mugen was still around, or if Spoon was still around either.
what do BBS wheels (new or used) cost roughly...3g's?
depends on 18s or 19s. i know my E46 M3 BBS LM wheels in 19x10s cost me $3750 shipped.
you can get cheaper BBS wheels too... like the BBS CHs i 've rarely ever seen on a 911 and that may be because the fitment ain't right but when has that stopped any rennlisters?
But the LMs are the king in the BBS line-up. the new LM-Rs have new technology/design advancements but the centers don't look as classic as the LMs.
consider champion wheels, too. they have these really light quality one-piece versions with mesh centers. if i was a hairsplitter over weight, i'd get these. exlon i believe picke dup a set to which i hope he post some pics soon!
duly noted man. I knew BBS would be pricey, and just as i suspect, they're more than i want to spend on rims this time.

i'm not proud to admit that i switch up rims so often that the tires they come with (usually PS2s) never have gone thru 1 tire set (rears typically right) replacement due to wear. with that said, i don't see myself swapping out my Work Brombachers as long as i own this current 911 of mine.
haha true say man. I go thru about a set of rims/tires a year...it's pathetic
i made a call to my bodyshop today. i think big tings will happen with my car for this season...it's time to ditch arctic silver and go for a more aggressive/evil paint scheme
anymore mods comming for ur C4S? you put the new misha wing on it right?
yezir. the car's at the shop right now with the wing getting painted. hope to get the car back by Friday.
the only extra i want is the techart sideskirt. car needs it to even everything out. and maybe even the rear bits that fit underneath the vents. but that's a good $4K so not sure i can justify that since it represents approx 10% of the car value. not sure i'm going to keep this car that long either.
other than that, it's pretty much maxed out mang and i'm ready for better weather here in the pacific nw.
If performance is a factor the Einke is a far superior wheel becasue of the weight difference alone. The funny thing about them is I really could care less for the design of that wheel when I look at it on the internet but a few friends have them as track wheels for their cars and I always think they look pretty good on every car I've seen them on in person. Why it looks horrible on the internet and good in person is beyond me.
From a purey cosmetic standpoint I like the Turbo II's better though.

Audi, I agree. Those Enkeis do look better in motion. They're not a bad looking wheel and it makes sense - Mugen designed it just like BBS created the classic Y spoke.
Turbo Twists II.................I think you know of my wheel fetish, no matter what I had on the C2, I always seem to go back to the Twists. The MK II GT3 wheels was always one of my favorites for our cars, not sure if you remember my C2 but it was almost exact to the car in your pics.
