My new wheels

Hi guys,

Picked these up yesterday

17\" ENKEI RPF1 resprayed in Hyper Black...it's like black with a bit of silver and Bridgestone RE001 215/40/17.

I wish I got proper scale to weigh and compared them to my old Lenso DC5 with Falken 452 (205/40/17). But I can feel significant difference by just picking them up. The difference in rims weight is only around 1.3 KG each, so I would assumed that the wider Bridestone RE001 is lighter tyre than Falken 452?

Must say Falken 452 sidewall looks better tho' they are a lot more squarer...but hei, these will grip better

why can't you weigh them?
Just do the old measure-you-weight-on-a-bathroom-scale-then-pick-up-the-object-then-weigh-yourself-again-and-subtract-the-difference trick.
:roll:

Doh!
Just going on a wee bit of a tangent, I stumbled across 2 sets, not long ago on The Trading Post, (from 2 differen sellers) of OZ F1 wheels. I think they were 15's or 16's and in very good condition.
They are a similar design to these Enkei's but they were CHEAP! The sellers were only selling them for $500! with half-worn decent tyres.

Do OZ's loose alot of value upon resale?

Okay guys...pics will be up very soon

My friend borrowed my cam for the long weekend here in Melb

BTW FYI...when I took my old Lenso DC5 to the \"Pack N Send\" yesterday. It weigh 17.45 KG with full 36PSI air in it. Im damn curious now, so Im going to get scales tomorrow

1red5, OZ is a very good brand as well...all second hand rims loses it value quite considerably...unless its very rare.

Looks fantastic, they're a great wheel for the NB

Tre cool!
Regarding the caps.... best of luck finding a set.
I made do with a set of 5Zigen caps I found on eBay only cause I like the style and colour of them.
They would be spot-on for yours I reckon.
