Enkei rims are somewhat light. If you're really looking for a set of all out race rims that are super light..go with Racing Heart or Volk. But be warned....their pricey! eek.gif

The enkei light wheels are

ER01 and RP01.

However both are cast aluminum. The ER01 looks beefier than the RP01. I'd worry that the RP01 would easily bend, especially on 18" wheels with 30 or 35 series rubber on them.

SSR Competition, Volt TE-37's, and Racing Hart CP-035 (not the cheap CP-35) are all light wheels, but cost about $500 each in 18" sizes.

The Enkei's only cost about $120 each. So you could go through 4 sets of the cheaper enkei wheels before the more expensive wheels pay off.

Sorry, never seen/heard of the RP05.

Can't find any info on the web for it either.
