Does anyone have Enkei RS6s on their GA?

I am looking into purchasing some in 18" and don't know much about the quality of their rims. Is there a big difference between any random $150 rims and any given $300 rims?

Also, what tire size would you recommend for 18s with the stock suspension setup?

I don't want to drop my car because I don't want it to scrape speedbumps and am worried about the tires scraping the wheel well.

I've been told that 225/40-18 or 235/40-18 will work and the fit guide also had 225/35/18. would the 225/35-18s be too thin???

Personally, I would go with 225/40-18 tires. That should keep your overall tire height very close to the stock dimensions and keep your speedometer accurate. Watch out for potholes!!

I just put the 5+ enkei on my car they are the 17's and my friend has the rs6's.They are high quailty light weight rims very sturdy.He loves his and same here with mine.As for the tire size I do recommend the 225/40/18 or the 235/40/18.The kuhmo 711 series is a good cheap tire to recommend.If ya have anymore questions just message me :)

Thanks for the advice guys! I'm going to put in my first payment for them on Monday!

I decided to wrap the Enkeis in Yokohama AVS ES100s. At $133 each, they're ridiculously affordable for a high performance tire and they've come highly recommended by several people.

I can't wait to pay these off and get them on my ride!!!

you guys rock!
