Just got my 09 chilie red hard top S
Want new lite weight wheels & tires
What do you suggest

 

I'm quite happy with the Enkei RS+M wheels purchased from Tire Rack this spring. Light weight for a 17" x 7" at 15.7 lbs., if you want 16" you can save another pound or so. The finish is not quite as Bright Silver as the pics would suggest, more of a greyish-silver, and I like it that way.
Other light choices are Enkei RPF-1, Kosei K1-TS, and OZ Alleggerita.
Tires?... the sky is the limit... but try to keep the car from lift off...

 

You didn't say what your budget is. I recommend what I have. OZ Alleggerita HLT and Yokohama Advan Neova.

 

uoooooooh..... I like the white. I have an 06 Chili Red cabrio and those wheels would look AWESOME. Did they come from Tire Rack?

 

Yes, they came from TireRack. They are available in several difference colors/finishes.

 

Motoring Alliance forum has a huge database of wheels with pics and stats...

you can even search by weight

 

Mansize can you post a pic. of your Enkei RS+M's, those are the wheels I want to put on Molly.

Thanks!!

 

16" ?

 

17x7
My car is a factory JCW, and with those brakes 17" is the smallest rim you can use, and not all 17" clear the calipers either.

 

They look great. I think I will check them out.

 

Yikes! Realized I don't have any pics of the RS+Ms on the MCS! Thought there were some in my Gallery, but no... I have pics of the wheels after Tire Rack delivery on the computer at home, but none on the car methinks...

I will take some and post in my Gallery, being that every time I try to post a full size pic on a forum post, it turns out as a clickable thumbnail...

Loving the wheels though, they don't even look that bad with the gobs of brake dust these cars pump out.

And if you rap the center caps, you'll get sore knuckles, none of that chintzy ill fitting plastic here!

 

If you don't mind spending a little more, try some SSR Type Cs or Type Fs too. Forged, and single or hybrid 2 piece. Strong and light.

 

I'm waiting!!

 

Canada's 142nd birthday, national holiday and all that... I'm at work anyway...

 

Check my gallery for the Enkei RS+M pics.

Sorry for the loooong wait...

 

Thanks Mansize!! They look incredible!! Gott'a find a way to get them sooner than next year!!
