Should I trade my Konigs for these Enkeis?

Enkei RP

205/50/15 Dunlop Qualifier

even trade for my Konig Zero 205/50/16 Yokohama AVID H4S?
Those Enkeis' are clean and JDM. Flat black. I would powdercoat them green when I get rid of the H emblems. Or NHBP. What do you think? And how much would it cost to paint?

I know they are enkeis, clean, and jdm but I would pass. They look like just a regular 5 spoke rim. I like the zero's better.

Yeah I like how I haven't seen anything like the Zero's around town but the Enkei's in green would be awesome to me lol. I just dunno. I'm gonna go over to his place tomorrow to put one on and see if I like it.

there alright. but if you sell later, it doesnt look like you would get much for them. id say cash on top of the trade. if you decide to do it. powder coat is about $55 a rim.

if you really want green rims just redo yours. i think it would look better with more spokes like your konigs rather than 5 really spaced out spokes on the enkeis

Hmmm I could try to scrape $100 or so out of him, but right now he thinks it will be an even trade...I'll see what I can do. If I can't get the $100 I guess I'll pass on it.

but neither are mine lol let's say you couldn't afford another set of wheels for a long time. Which would you rather live with? Mine or those? Those are 15s which I kinda want to get back on.

I dunno the offset but it's probably above 30. 205/50/15s there was a site selling them for $300 a pair in silver. So $600 a set. I paid $500 for my Konigs.

SRL you mean powdercoat the red trim on my wheel to be green? I want to get rid of the centercaps, I gotta see if that's possible and if it looks ok without them.

you could always vinyl over your caps OR get honda caps -- i've got a friend who put pvc caps from home depot on his rotas when he painted them -- there is a thread on H-t just for centercaps

i would pass too. I think just painting the red lip you got now to green would be awesome. Having fully green rims is a sick look but i wouldnt do it for DD. Just for shows only thats just me though

just because the rims are worth that much doesnt mean they still are. just as stated before they look like generic whatever rims. Just keep yours and powdercoat them green. the spokes on the enkei's would really kill the look of your car.

Either way lip or full wheel. But if powdercoating I doubt u could do the full lip. If you do lip only I'd just spray them. But green would look good!

okay here's what I'm gonna do. I'm going there tonight to put one wheel on and see if I can't see myself driving with it. Sure it looks like any other 5spoke but it's not. Enkei RP-02 are rare and cool. I do love my wheels and would love them more SLAMMED, but I think I'll be happier in the long run with the Enkeis...I'll let yall know if I swapped them tonight :P
