    I'd take the Reverse Mesh for show, but they're not very track friendly on the Mk3 if you're sticking with those sizes! You'd be running adapters on those babies too as I've NEVER caught them in a 100 PCD pattern.

    Those Enkei RC-T4 looks good though! Yeah they do look like the Superturismos too. I got myself some of those:





    They're 16x6.5 and had stampings and everything, but they do look *slightly* different to the pictures I've seen on the internet... makes me wonder if they're actually real or not. And another important issue was that they were much heavier than I expected. They weighed at least a kg more than the BBS and Work Equips I have, and they're actually bigger in size.

    Anyway, if the VR6 is to see the track a lot, I reckon you'd do better with the Enkei wheels.

        firstly! they are actually 5x100! OMFG HUH!
        Secondly, the Superturismos arent really all that light for a "race bred" rim, in 17x8 i was told 9kg as apose to the Enkei RC-T4 in 17x8 being 7.2kg! kind of gay really! if u want track rims, go jdm . . .

        i think i may bite the bullet and get the ssr's they're a lil exy even after talking him down, but i think im in love and who can place a price on love? ive been racking my brain all today and yesterday! i didnt even sleep yesterday cuz ma mind was so dambed awake debating wid maself!! man am i paying now though lol, sleeeeepy . . . *drool*

        thanks for everyones replies!!

        . . . going t sleep . . . Alex

                Get the SSR's for daily. Too rare to pass up.

                Grab the Enkies for track. Less weight = more go, looks take a back seat when your goin at 200

                Havent considered OZ Chrono or Ultraleggra?? Both are lightweight, but I dont think there as light as the Enkei's.

                Theres a set of SSR's that are stupidly light too, Tim has a set. Forget what they're called tho.

                If you want other options, take a look at http://www.wheelweights.net/

                  trutru, i like the OZ Chrono rims! but they're cast? if i go for a track rim ima get something forged, not many "light weight" rims are; So thats why i'd probably go for the Enkei RC-T4's, Technically they're not forged but use a proccess called mat dura flow forming which is stronger than some forged wheels!. . .
