Which wheels

[rob fd]

The stock wheels have really grown on me but i also love a good set of enkei rpf1's.

I've done a quick photoshop, what do people think refurb or enkeis? eagle eyed viewers may also be able to spot something not quite right? lol

 

[jdmr_neil]

If your only alternative to standard is the RPF1's then i voted oem. I personally just cant get away with those enkei's when there are so many nice wheels around. Save your hard earned and spend it on fuel and trackdays.

I think they bith look good. Even with the golf gti calipers front and rear...

 

[Gunnytron]

Stocks for me. I'm 50/50 on rpf1 on the fd. I think you have to have the car slammed and perfect fitment or they look cack.

Enkeis 100%

 

[ascari]

Would you keep the enkeis as 17s?

 

[Matt]

+1 on Enkeis

 

[Darrenk81]

Enkeis look good if you go for 9” or wider for the concave, less than that and the look a bit shit

Yeah I won't be changing wheel size. I prefer a smaller wheel.

 

[rob fd]

Im open to suggestions. Only stipulations are must be 17" and extremely lightweight.

Those were the days lol, I remember being in love with an Astra gsi with venoms in my old street as a kid.

I prefer oem to the enkies

Might just go all out and get some 20" chrome spinners.

 

[Spendyrx]

Haha used to be an escalade down town with 20 inch chrome spinner back in the day! We used to think it was awesome when it actually looked like a shiny snow plough

That brought back some old school memories! Many thanks

The stock are better than most (Porsche's have the best imo), but only the Spirit R mesh come close to looking special, with after markets going all the way. Enkeis +1

If the O.E wheels were a little more aggressively sized then I'd still have mine on, they are too shallow in the arches. Obviously you could use some hubcentric spacers to widen the track a little and push the wheel out more, but ultimately they will still be quite skinny wheels. I'd love to find a perfect match for the O.E design in wider wheels as they are the perfect 90's wheel IMO for the FD.

 

[JoeLanger]

There are plenty of nicer alternatives to the enkies. I've got some MS01s for example!

If the stock wheels where 17x9s then you'd be laughing

 

[rob fd]

I think im gonna try the stock wheels with some nice grippy tyres.

 

[jeffohlen_90]

Stock ones if you are sticking to less than 9’s and generally keeping an OEM look all round.
