Default enkei question

need some opinions...

I need to get new rims as the one i got from my car doesn't have the correct offset and is damaging my calipers a bit (and the rims itself)

I'm browsing enkei rims which I really do like, but I noticed their performance and tuning lines are made in China/ Thailand. I read that they both go through the same tests, but ow are they really in comparison to their Japanese counterparts in terms of quality? or do any other recommendations of rims would be appreciated


reason is that I'm a student so I'm not making so much $$ or else I would just get like bbs or something haha

thanks in adv.

rpf1's are sick. If I had a stable income, I'd without doubt get them, but life has roadblocks.

If i get these, I'd have to delay some of the bodywork that needs to be done...... and it would suck almost all of my money out, but If they really do really make a difference (compared to other enkei's), I'll probably get them since I know I'll sleep peacefully

on the other hand, I might not sleep peacefully watching my bank account crash haha

My Enkei Rp01 are still on my Sc, it will be 11 years in June. Enkei's are light but strong.

alright then, I just ordered the 18" Raijin. Rpf1 is a bit over my budget (need some lee-way) and the nt-03 are a bit ugly in my opinion (the center)

should arrive next week
