looked up those Enkeis PF01s... they come in very little size/offset options, only one color (aluminum) and lack the concave look of the Rotas or the Works. And Ron... I think you'd look at things differently if the rims we are talking about + tires would cost just slightly less then your car. Its not worth the money IMO, no matter how good the quality. I cant justify spending that much just to save some weight and look nicer! The Rotas are priced at a price that I think is fair. Its not even insanely cheap. I'd still end up dishing out probably over $1000, but the price is justified. |

The PF-01s are a lot lighter than the works or rotas. They're even lighter than the Enkei rpf1s are. They're pretty much racing rims.

Why does Mike need ridiculously strong and light wheels? To my knowledge Mike doesn't take his car to the track all the time, it's not like his wheels will snap due to stress during day-to-day driving

I'm not saying you need lightweight/superstrong/racing wheels. But it wouldn't hurt anything if you did go that route. But, the Enkeis are cheaper than the Works and a little more than the Rotas. I'm just trying to give you options. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

Thats one of the Work dealers in my state, I'd imagine the one by my house would have similar pricing. Its really not bad and I think the Enkeis are quite a bit more. In other words, as far as pricing goes: Rota>Work>Enkei Rota being the cheapest and Enkei being the most expensive. EDIT: you might have to copy the link for some reason, clicking it doesn't seem to work. Edit 2: nvm... it just worked now O_o |

also, just saw this on the Work dealers site:
Unfortunately, there are shops out there that don't buy directly and can get away with posting prices below MAP. But! Since, we value your business and strive to keep our prices low, and SAVE you money! We will price match or reduce the cost by 5% depending on the item. so maybe Work=Rota? I love the Rota Hyper Black wheel color though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) the Work gunmetal and bronze colors look dull. Ben... try and find these rims on ebay. barely any are used, and the ones for sale that are new are overpriced. |

Work Gunmetal CR-Kai
(IMG:http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq187/buster720/WORK1.jpg) Rota Hyper Black Torque: (IMG:http://dudesphotography.smugmug.com/Cars/Torque-on-Detail-Addicts-EVO-X/IMG0108/779736029_JJc9n-M.jpg) The CR-Kais are more dull and have a hint of blue to them... The Torques are shinier and more of a neutral dark gray |

I've been finding the enkeis for a lot cheaper than that link you posted. And they are also available in matte black now as well. I've found them ranging anywhere from $215 to $240 right now.

I've been looking more for a shiny gray color or a dark, grayish (in pixel art terms, low saturated) bronze.

I'm helping a friend look for rims too. It's for his drifty car, and as I was searchiing, I found TE37s for 4000, like HOLY s**t. Found some nice Jap wheels for 600 though. just go with whatever is your taste and you can afford.

problem is, if you want to powdercoat a rim it needs to be sandblasted

from my experience, most places that do powder coating professionally also are able to do the sand blasting and prep work.
