I've done a boat load of research on my own, and finally settled on the Enkei RPM2 17x7 and 17x8 with +45 offset. Problem, these wheels are impossible to find anymore since they are discontinued, and their replacement (the EKM3's) don't offer the sizes and offsets that I want...

Quite simply put, I am looking for a mesh design wheel, something that looks nearly exactly as the EKM3's, but has the right sizes (same as above) with as high an offset as possible. And the big caveat being under $200 per rim. I'm trying to stay on 17's, but I am willing to do 18's if they offer the right size and offset... I don't want to rub. I'm on a 1" drop with UK alignment specs (-1 up front and -2 in the rear).

I've looked at the ASA AR-1's, and although close just don't look the same. Looks at the TSW's, looked at the Tenzo R's, Konig's, and obviously the Enkei's. None of them have the right offsets, or the right width for the rears of our beloved S...

I feel like I'm stuck. I'm keeping an eye out for some RPM2's, but they seem to be few and far between. Can anyone recommend some rims that meet these requirements? Or am I looking at a neverending search until someone miraculously decides to support a discontinued car with uniquely high offset requirements?

 

you got ap2v1s?

Good link but no go. Any other suggestions or should I just suck it up and save for some BBS rims?

 

Hit Tire Rack and check out the Kazera KZ-J. These are the wheels I have and they seem very similar to what you want.

Also great rims, and currently the "fall back" option. I just think they look a little too flat / flush with the car. I'd like a little bit of lip on the rims. The Kazera's was what I was going to go for, but then I saw them on the S and didn't like it as much...

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

^Gotcha. Well looks like BBS is gonna be your best option. Have you seen the Work VS-XX?

 

DON'T LOSE FAITH!!!

Enkei RPM-2s will set you freeeeeeeeee!
They are the only true way to mesh wheel Nirvana!

In all seriousness, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble finding these.
I would second the Works (VS-XX) and the BBS LMs but they'll cost you an arm and a leg.

Maybe also contact the Enkei factory (in Texas) and ask if they have any big suppliers who might have a stockpile of the rims.

Who knows, right?

 

They have the rims, but I don't want to roll my fenders nor do I want to run a 235 tire in the rear (the highest offset EKM3 is 40mm).

Arg! lol...

Keeping my fingers crossed for some RPM2's or some RGR's on the cheap...
