I always love showing off my Enkeis...



Those are yokohama Paradas (soon to be replaced with spec2s) in a size 205/45/16.

Also, those brakes were painted a year ago...

my old konig villans!





my new Enkeis


both pic the rubber was yokohama avs es 100 205/45/r16. i would say go for the 45 series tires. they will give you a little better ride. unless your autoxing alot. the get the 40's because they will have less tire roll in the turns.

Yay... another lover of the Enkei wheels.. I love the split spokes.. I think they suit the slightly more angular RD2s more than they would the First Gens..

Enkei's are kik ass. Most of thier designs are awesome. I am glad to see that you guys have great choices in rims.

Back on topic, Thanks for posting this thread, I am always thinking of selling my 17's and getting some 16's. 17 are a harsh ride, they can bend easier and they are heavy as hell. They don't look as "Phat" but I bet they ride a hell of a lot better.

I hit a nasty hole sunday.. pavement literally dropped six inches and came right back up.. the Proverbial "pot hole" no rim or tire, or even car damage. Thankfully I was pulling into a parking lot and not out on the road (I was till going a good twenty miles an hour though)
