    looking for new rim/tire set up

    i was looking at craigslist and i found a guy that sells 16 inch enkei rims

    here is a pic.... they are around 13.5 pounds a piece...plus like 7-8 pounds on the tire so that is like 20-22 pounds on each side. right now the fat fives are at least 30+ just looking for a light and bigger rim so i can fit some big brakes....yum 12 inch rotors.


    oh yeah the tires are going to be like monkeys 215-45-16 faklen rt615

    those are hot, way hot, utility like but yet glamorous all at the same time

    dont listen to me though, I think you should paint your fives or either polish the crap out of them what do I know....

    Why the hell are you thinking twice about this? You got fat fives!!!! You should never qustion whether to replace them or not. Like nike says. Just do it.

    I think those enkeis are called the RPF??? Anyway, I like those rims a lot and almost bought a set in 15" for myself as they are light and very simple looking. I would buy the set if you can.

    shop around a while mayne and build your money meanwhile. the lighter wheel makes a HUGE difference, I cant believe more emphasis is not made ...opps it was a secret.
