I talked to a representative from Edge Racing and he said that the Enkei RPM2 has been discontinued and it should be removed from their site shortly.

Ok, I need some serious advice or experience if you have it. I'm thinking of going with the matte black Tenzo Type M's. I'm just concerned because they are 8" wide with a 45mm offset. Do you think these would work with 215/35/18 tires without any spacers or anything like that? Please help. I wish the Tenzo Mach 10's came without that red stripe, because I just don't know how that would work with my Astro Black.

i don't think at 8" with that offset it will work....at least not without adding spacers.

play around on here:

you'll see at 8" wide with that offset, you're loosing 10mm on the inside.

8" needs ET38-42 or so. Maybe lower for the R56
