Default Enkei 18inch wheel suggestions/opinions

Decided on 18inch enkeis with stock tires. Like enkei prices and like 18s over 19s or 20s as a personal choice.

With that said, was looking for some
Suggestions and opinions from some of you guys who I consider friends. I haven't seen too many enkei wheels in real life and it's hard to go just by pictures on tire rack lol. Would love to hear suggestions or opinions of what you guys think would look good in 18s on our cars.

For reference here is my car. Ultra white with swift springs and stock tires.

Thanks!!

Wow, good to hear thas someone is going to avoid the Vossen plague ) Love the pure racing RS05RR, GTC01 and especially RSM9. Would trade my Rays FXX's for 19" RSM's )

Thank you for not stepping on the vossen bandwagon. quite honestly, i've only seen them make like one or two decent looking wheels.. need better designs.. [better put on my bullet proof vest now]
anyways you asked for suggestions on enkei's, well here are my favorites. you may also want to check out VMRs. Designs and quality are quite similar to Enkeis at an affordable price too.

NT03+M - love these because they play off of the old JGTC (GT300 & GT500) and Formula 1 wheels.
RP03 - love these because they're mellow looking and will go good with any car
RPF1 - classic staple loved by many. though i don't quite like them because the rim appears smaller once you mount them on tires and the car. still, loved by many though.
RSF5 - love these because they play off of the old 360 modenas
RAIJIN - nice simple mesh design
PSR5 - love these because they play off of the 458 italias

+1 on not going vossen. I did look hard at the RP03. Like AdvanSLF said, that style looks good on any JDM car.

how are the enkeis weight wise compared to the f-sport stock rims? Raijin's or RSF5's are more my style.

If you like Raijins, could I interest you with some HRE Flowforms?

Ah, I see. Carry on then.

Out all the wheels on that picture, I'd take Raijin.
