Hey guys,

It's going to be one or the other, just want to hear some of your thoughts.

So which one do you guys think would suit my car?

Enkei EVO 5?

OR

Konig Daylight Bronze?

hard to say, I know the 5 looks good cuz i've seen it on cars, but its a pretty generic design. I think the other one would be more unique and get more attention (not sure if thats what you want though). Try Pchopping both.

Hey Mark i would go with the Konig's over the Enkie's. The darker finish seems to go better with your car color. I think the multi-spoke design looks better on the sedans.

Neither....... the Evo5 looks too much like your old ones. The konigs are fake RE30. And i've seen them in real life.... i do'nt like them that much.... let me find you a pic of them on a civic with 18s

I like the colour of the Konigs and style of the Enkeis.

Lol... That just confused me some more lol...

I'm not sure how the Bronze colour will look so Allen has ordered a set in so i can check em out... If i like the Bronze, will go with the Konig If i don't like it, it will be the enkei... I'm just a huge fan of 5 or 6 spoke designs due to the nice clean look.

After driving on the Rays wheels for a day and noticing how much a difference the weight of the wheel has, i want to go as light as possible, without spending a fortune, which is why the konig will be a better fit... Mind you anything is lighter than our stock rims :)

Will keep you all posted! Thanks for all the feedback!!

Let me know if you want to sell your rims, I might want to buy them if you don't want a fortune for them...

Hey Biz... thanks!!

Initially yes, they did rub... quite a bit actually but thankfully not as much as the other ones i had. After i removed the Mazdaspeed camber links and re-intalled the old ones they were fine, or at least i though they were :complain. I went over a bump at night (didn't see it as it was dark) and i heard it rub pretty bad... to the point where the metal lip under the fender, where the tire rubs, was bent really bad!

I got my fenders rolled yesterday... but that's a whole other issue :bang


Looks great!

Thanks 130hp!!!
