Default Not selling, but a good deal on light wheels.....

I run Enkei RPM2's in 18X8 with ET35. With this offset the wheels are pushed right out even with the fender lip. The wheels only weigh 19 lbs each, and they are very strong. These wheels don't have a lip, the spokes terminate on the outer edge of the rims. This is why I think they don't bend easily. I've never heard of anyone busting these rims. Also, they are the cheapest sub 20lb rim I could find in 18". Come in anthracite or silver finish. Here's a pic...

Default I don't really recommend where I bought them.....

I purchased from RDMwheels.com The price with Falken 451 tires was good at $1600 delivered. However, the RDM balance job was terrible, and I had to have them completely rebalanced to the tune of about $100. Any Enkei dealer can order these wheels. I would try Discount Tire. They get great pricing on Enkei and they have the Hunter "road force" balancers. I have only had great experiences with Discount here in SoCal; give 'em a call for pricing.

Default ha - awesome. I have a newer one with 4 of us, but it's 9mins/100MB.

guess I should try to shrink that a bit so it's more portable
