Looks much, much, much better than the terrible enkeis.

 

 

They are some knock-off rays, since the car comes with a stupid 4x114.3 PCD and ~35 offset it made it difficult finding wheels that looked good and weren't custom.

 

 

She also bought cheater tires, RE71Rs. The OEM set of wheels had some forgettable tires that had a stamp of 0501.

Yes, 5th week of 2001.

16 year old tires.

 

She initially wanted NT01s, but I told her that she should probably get something with SOME traction in the wet, despite the car being a fair weather car and we live in a desert.

Those look really good. Do you happen to know the weight?

What an improvement! I didn't realize how dorky the Enkeis were. The improvement in handling with your new, stickier tires should be almost as dramatic.

Per Katana, weight is at 18lbs per wheel, re71rs in 205/50-15 are 21lbs -- total package of 39lbs.

 

Not sure what the stock wheels and tires weight, but I could go toss them on a scale and see.
