I have someone interested in a set, the Enkei website doesn't list the weight, can you tell us.

After much asking I was told 18 pounds...not as light as I had hoped though certainly not bad.

if that's the case I would suggest that you not bother, TireRack has an 18.4# wheel for under $300 and I believe the new Weds wheel currently listed for $339 each is going to weigh 17.4# when it arrives at the end of the March

makes no sense that Enkei's 9.5" wheel is 17# and the 8" width is 18#, WTF? :roll:

Yep...not worth the trouble. Wheel designs are optimized for diffent sizes and often don't scale well to alternative sizes. Sorry folks...

OEM RX-8 wheels (tread jumping, sorry!)

Post by Mini Meg »

Hi,
I'm looking for a set of 18X8 OEM wheels for an RX-8. Does anyone have a set for sale or can you point me in the right direction?
Sorry I don't know where to look and didn't mean to tread jump. (I think that's what they call it? :oops: )
Thanks for your time,
Randy & Meg
