Well I'm looking at getting new rims for the summer and I have narrowed my choice down to four rims:

For Reference these are going on Aluminum Mica 2010GT

Enkei RPF1

Mugen GP

Tenzo Tracer V1

Was also considering these as a last option:

So what do you think. Front runners are the GP and the Enkei at this point and time.

Thanks!

I like the Mugen GPs or Tenzos. Although Enkeis I think would be lightest.

The Mugen's if you are going for aesthetics over performance. The Enkei's if you want a light weight wheel to increase performance, but that looks decent.

What sizing? Personally I like the RPF-1s best at 9 width.

Why not get these Enkeis instead of the Drag? I think that Drag is just a replica of this Enkei Racing rim

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I really wanted something lightweight and the Mugen's I thought are pretty darn light and strong for a Forged wheel 16.5 lbs for the 18". So I figured better than the Enkei's, but please correct me if I am wrong.

The Enkei RPF1s are great rims but like other have said, its quite played out. Nevertheless a great lightweight rim for the price and it seems that's what you want. And personally I wouldn't buy the Mugen GP's, it just seems that they're made for Hondas. I'd probably go for the Work Emotion XT7 for that same design.

Shu I'd consider those but they are heavier than the RPF1's I'd like at least stay under 19lbs

The Mugens are 16.5 lbs at 18"?? What's the price range if you don't mind my asking?

Mugen`s are made for Honda`s. Kinda like throwing on TRD or Nismo rims on your 3

But damn sexy IMHO

Sexy and if the dollars to weight ratio is right I wouldn't worry much about branding!

Wow. Had no idea they were that light... In that case, just get the Mugens for sure.

However, if you add an Mugen power stickers on your car, note that we will have to disown you and mock you freely. :)
