SOLD SOLD SOLD

For sale are a set of four 17" Enkei RP02 wheels.

These are not the RP01s that everyone had back in the day. They're a lightweight classic 5 star and you won't likely see another set around. The size is 17"x7". Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 or 5x100. Offset is ET38 which is perfect for a 1G or 2G DSM. These wheels are very lightweight and strong weighing only 16.5 lbs each. All 4 centre caps are in good shape and are included.

Here are the wheels on my 2G DSM back in the day:

I tried to take a closeup pic of any little imperfections so you can see them, but they are minimal. No curb rash at all.

Wheel 1: Nick 1 Nick 2
Wheel 2: A few tiny nicks on one spoke A few tiny nicks on one spoke
Wheel 3: Tiny nick
Wheel 4: Nicks on outside edge Nicks on outside edge

SOLD SOLD SOLD. I'd prefer to sell for a DSMer so I'm only posting here for now. I'll give it a week and then put these on Kijiji.

I'm basing the price on the wheels alone. Two of the tires (Bridgestone Fusion ZRis) are OK wear-wise, with a little more wear on the outside edge than the inside edge (failed alignment experiment before a track day rotflmao ). Two of the tires are bald on the outside edge. However even the good ones are probably beyond their replacement interval based on age. You can at least use the two better ones to do a huge smokey burnout.

2 tires with less wear
2 tires with significant wear

If you're interested send me a PM smile

They are light!!

They were advertised as low as 15 lbs for some sizes. People who have actually weighed them in this size find they come out right around 16.5 or 16.8 lbs.

These are up on Kijiji now. I do have a full set of McGaurd locking lug nuts and centering rings if you need them for install.

Would prefer to sell them to a DSMer so let me know if you're interested.

That I can believe. A DSMer pay one cent more than 1/100th the value of a part? Blasphemy.
