Enkei RP03, will they fit, anyone running them?
I am a sucker for cool 5 spoke wheels. I just found these in 18x8 ET45 75mm bore. I am thinking about running them with 225/40r18 square setup. I found a great price of $262 each which is a sick price for Enkei racing series wheels.
http://www.enkei.com/rp03.shtml# I am pretty new to the 1 series, but I don't care for the stock wheels at all. Does anyone know if these will fit??

Here is a pic of my car with winters on it. They are just 17s, but I really like how this car looks with the 5 spoke wheels. They are also 8" wide with 225/40 tires but with 40mm offset, so in theory with 45mm offset I should be able to go one size wider if I want them to be a bit more aggressive.

They dont make anything in the 1series offsets if you want a staggered wheel setup, nevermind the lack of 5x120 bolt pattern support.

The style seems ok to me from the pics. IMO, 5 spoke wheels generally suit the E82 coupe.
At 20.2lb, these are light compared to the stock 261M wheels are 26.5lb front, 27.5lb at rear. I would get 245/35/18 tyres for the rear (Not RFTs!!). 225/40/18 will be fine for the front. |

I want to run a square setup. I had staggered on my last car, and I just prefer a square setup. These are also only 1 lb heavier than the Enkei PF01, and the Apex Aero-7. That puts it quite close to some of the lighter racing wheels, plus they are supposed to be quite strong.
Weight is not my #1 concern, but it is a nice bonus. Since I don't track my car durability is tops followed by looks, and weight. Price is also a bit of a factor, but at $262 a rim that is not too bad. I am just hoping for some pics of these on a 1 series, but since we are getting a lot of snow here (took me 2 hours to get to work today) I have about 7-8 months to decide on a summer wheel.

Just to show you guys how badly we get raped on wheels in Canada. The RP03 I have seen in the US from $260-$305. I just got a quote from Kal tire here in Calgary...$650 / wheel!!!!
How can they justify more than twice the price. Now for tires I am looking at Goodyear F1 asymetrical from tire rack $165 each, kal tire $234 plus install. This is why I have no sympathy for companies crying about cross border shopping.

Thanks for posting that pic. I am not a fan of black rims, but that style does look nice on the car!! Now I just have to wait to find the best price I can on a set...I don't need them until spring so I am not in a rush.
