Hey,
Ok...I need your help guys!
I am going to be ordering new rims in about a month. I have narrowed it down to 2 types of rims. They are both from WheelMax.com and they are made by Exel. The first set of rims is called RH-5 and it is basically a Racing Heart C5 knock-off. The second is called Ennios.
They are both 18" rims. : (18x7.5 - 5x100/114.3 - 45 - SIL) They both cost the same price and they come with tires as part of a package. The whole package with rims, tires, chrome lugs, chrome valve stems and center caps, balancing, mounting and shipping(within USA) comes to $985 USD or $1100 CAD. The types of tires I can get are:
Federal SS595 :Size: 225/40/18
Nankang NS-2 :Size: 225/40/18
Kumho ECSTA 711 : Size: 225/40/18
Hankook Radial K106 : Size: 225/40/18
Here are the pics of my car: Stock, both types of RH-5's and the Ennios.
STOCK
EXEL ENNIOS
EXEL RH-5 Gunmetal with polished lip
EXEL RH-5 Hyper Silver(Polished Silver)
There is also a regular silver RH-5 rim...which would match the car paint fairly close. So that another option.
I will not give you guys my personal opinion yet....cause I don't want it to influence your decision. Let me know what you think and I will post again later.
Thanks,

well im just going to wonder why 18s?
not going for performance?
anyway i like the first set you have chopped
did you try tire rack? they have a thing where it will put the wheels on the car for you
other cars, better cars?
the hyper silver H5, @!#$ sweet
not the racing hart knockoffs
Excel Ennios probably cuz they look like the stockers.
the second pic are the best. there is a tib in my area with a similar paint, wheel combo and i love it
As far as the tires go I dont know, but for looks I woudl go with the gunmetal Raching Hart knock offs. They look wicked on there.
But why are you ordering them now? winter is around the corner

Thanks so far for all the feedback.
I am leaning towards the gunmetal RH-5's. I want a different look than the stock rims....and I agree that the Ennios look like the stock rims. I like the Ennios alot....but they are simply to similar.
The Exel RH-5's are exact replicas of Racing Heart C5's. I read some feedback on there wheels on other car forums and people like the rims. They are good quality and look sweet.
Now....here is one more question:
Does the gunmetal blend in with the look of the silver tiburon? or should I stick with a silver rim to match the car???
Let me know.....and if you have any pics of gunmetal rims on a silver car...please post them here!
Thanks again,
Paul

Oh ya....
Mat - I am buying them now because my parents are "snowbirds" and they live in Florida for 3 months in the year. So with them down there I will order the rims in December and they will bring them back for me. They drive down...and they have a van....so no problem with bring them up to Canada.
Also...because with Wheelmax they have free shipping, mounting, and balancing if you ship them within the USA. So if I was to ship them to Canada....I would most likely add about $500 after all that plus duty!
Thanks,
Paul

well thats a damn good reason! you dont think they'll get stopped at the boarder though with a set of brand new wheels in the trunk?

If it's not network news, it's probably the truth getting out.
