New Enkei RPM2's !!!!

I just slapped on my Enkei RPM2s that I have been waiting a month for. I wrapped em in 215/40/17 Falken Azenis ST115s. Get rid of your s-lites and run-flats ASAP, you'll be driving a whole new car.!!!!

Nice! I think 2percooper had those wheels. :smile: How do you like the

ST115's? I hear those are super-quiet tires. I was thinking about trying
Falkens next time around.

Very sharp wheels!

Please let us know how you use your ST115 and how they work for you.
I read some reviews that were negative about them even though they are supposed to be quiet. Some reviews were OK. I was going to use them for daily street driving, all weather (mostly rain).

The ST115s are very quiet, but my alta intake and milltek exhaust produce more noise. They grip very well so far, but it hasn't rained here yet so I don't know how well they will handle in the rain.

Hey Kenchan, How do you like your H-sport springs?, I am going to go with H-sport springs, sway and control arms next week.

Those wheels look great! Where did you buy them? What are the specs? Our esteemed sponsor, from whom I have purchased all my wheels and tires for 20 years, does not seem to carry them.

I got mine from DTC when i worked there. But from what I heard, they are discontinued and have to be ordered directly from Enkei. So who know how hard it is to get em now. It was hard enough to get em when DTC carried them. I ordered my wheels before I even got the car.

Specs:
Size/Width: 17x7
Offset: +45
Weight: 16.9lbs.

I got mine through a wholesaler in Milpitas CA. They can beat almost any price so I got them pretty cheap. Let me know if you are interested in these. I could get you the guys info.
