Enkei RP01, 16X7, 16X8

[N1ceDrgn]

I've got some Enkei RP01's for sale. I got them redone last fall and I haven't had the chance to get them on my car since. I'm looking at going to 5 lug and I won't be able to use them anymore. They are a set of Enkei RP01's I brought back from Japan with me. There are (2) that are 16X7 and (2) that are 16X8. They are black with blue highlight. They are in prestine condition and in need of a car.I am asking $1,200 for the set or best offer. If there is anyone from MN interested as well that is not a problem. I will be in the area later this month. I would like to move these as fast as I can. Here is a temporary picture, I will have some better ones later.

Here are some more pictures of the rims. Like I mentioned I had them cleaned up, repainted, the works. They are like brand new now and would make for some good drift rims. They are larger than stock but not too big. The offset for the rims is 35 (8) and 40 (8.5) respectively. They went by 8J and 8.5J. These rims are no longer produced by Enkei. With that in mind, it's something extra for some one looking for something original. Here are the links for the pics;

C'mon now? There aren't 'any' takers? or there's 'no one' that's interested? I find that hard to believe. :eek:

[leespipedreams]

Let me know if they're something you want. I can load them in the car and bring them back with me. I'll be back in the area in about a week from now.

its not everyday somebody can afford 1200 dollar rims

[N1ceDrgn]

The price is negotiable, the 'or best offer' option. I'm not a local import parts store.

[mistaanime]

yeah..im intersted but...no money. heheh :D

[N1ceDrgn]

well, that don't do me a lot of good.. :hammer: LOL

[N1ceDrgn]

Are there any other takers? I would like to see the 12 hundred for them but I also know that most people don't have cash like that. I will negotiate a lower price. I need to move these things mosh' skosh'. The sooner the better..

[N1ceDrgn]

Hello again everyone.. any one interested? $800.00 or best offers makes some one a new and happy owner of these rims..

[shawn_161]

i got these on my car (16x7 +35 all around)
they look real nice

[AJ]

i can't believe no s13 4 luggers r taking this... if my car was black... and these were 5 lug.. and hop up and down yelling and screaming.. someone buy these.. i can't stand to keep looking at these pictures and saying... if only... if only...

[Squirt724]

they were 700 at jspec.com about a week ago...if i had the money i would've snatched those up in a sec...they're so beautiful...

I was interested at first, when he said they were 16*8 and 16*9 ... then I saw the next post and found out they were 16*8 and 16*8.5... then I saw the pics and found out that they're actually 16*7 and 16*7.5... and now, for even $800 (and IMO), they're significantly overpriced.

Yes... they're 16*7 and 16*7.5 -- with them repainted I can't show you the sticker to prove it, but don't forget that there's always about 1" of lip which isn't where the bead will actually sit.. if you measure your stock S13 alloys, they'll seem to be 7" or even 7.5" wide too -- whereas they're actually 6" wide. xp (I think it was 6"... maybe 6.5")

So there you have it. The story of someone who was once interested and is no longer interested... unless it can be had for $250 shipped to LA.

Wheres the contact? :p :cool: :rolleyes: :mad: :D :o :( ;) :eek: :axe: :hammer: :bash: :aw: :bowdown: :bow: :boink: :cry:

[N1ceDrgn]

Go ahead and send me a pm. In case others doubt the rims for what they are, they have been seen and checked out by others on this forum in person.
Getting to the comment about size? The size listed is what I ran on these rims when I was in Japan with them.
As far as having them painted? Yes, I had them repainted. The blue highlight had faded over the years and my intent was to use them myself. They are a good looking rim and I wanted to clean them up for the new car I was going to put them on.
I did not have them 'custom painted'. They came this way from Enkei back in the early 90's. They were discontinued a few years later. Enkei sold 2 styles, this one and then either a single color, flat white or a silver with no highlight.

5x114.3 or 5x100?

[N1ceDrgn]

It's 4 X 114.3..

[Squirt724]

sent u a pm...r u still in socal?

[Grant]

hmm, would there be a size stamped on the back of the rim? or is that for certain wheels only?

adey, why would you want those!!! you got so many rims as it is and you have Danny! :-D

[adey]

Hahaha... I don't have a lot of wheels at all! Only 2 full sets: 1 set of 15s and a set of 16s... nothing else... oh wait, actually i have total of 6 15s... but that's not the point! :)
Heh heh... I'm always interested in new wheels... they're something that you just can't have enough of.

...and yes, some wheels will have the width stamped into the back of the hub or spokes, maybe they're labelled there... but I stand by my prior statement that they're actually 16*7 and 16*7.5.

[N1ceDrgn]

...be that as it may.. you are only half right. They do say their size on the inside of the hub, however, it reads, 16 X 7 and 16 X 8. I am also standing by what I have also said regarding what sizes were used on them. Both myself and the previous owner used larger sized tires with no problems. He used them for drift and I used them for drag. They held up with no complaints from either of us.

[N1ceDrgn]

..here's the latest on this one.. Anyone.. $600 obo? ..and for anyone that has a question about why no rubber? From my experience, what one person prefers for tires. Another person may not care for. So, if anyone's still interested, they 'have to' go. So, it's down to the above mentioned price.. I look forward to hearing from some one and getting them outta here..

[nismofeind]

did you have them on a s13. because i think a 8in wheel with a 35 off set won't fit on the front of an s13.

[N1ceDrgn]

They do fit, when I did have them on my car, the 'only time' I had to do a mod was when I got my HKS coil-overs...

[naed240sx]

Yes it will. If you run a 225, it probably won't fit, but the wheel itself has clearance.

I remember when its body was hard

I remember when I closed the thread
