Just a quick question, which wheels would you get in the 17" variety:
1) Rage Breaker
-or-
2) Enkei RS5
I think they are fairly similar in weight, and pricing from various web sites are in the same ball park, so if anyone has any input as to their choice, please let me know, because I am making a decision on this soon. Thanks.

I'd get neither, but from the two, I'd get the Enkei, slightly better looks to me and supposedly better quality.

I'm not sure about 17's, but in 16" the RS5 is about 2.5 lbs lighter than the breaker. Better looking, too, IMHO.

My winter wheels are the rage breakers. They look good and they are cheap which makes them look even better. If you have a break kit they are very open and display the breaks well.

I really like the RS5's...I am planning on puting a set of those on my car as soon as I get a job (I'm in college, so I have an excuse).

i say find something that less people have. rs5's look real good, but so do a lot of other rims that arent so well represented on our cars.
however, this is just my opinion. if you really like them then get 'em. if i were to get rims, i would most likely steer clear of rs5's though.

Yeah, that was true for a very long time. Everyone had RS5's and Blueprint subs; then Lambda's. What next Dave? When will it end?!?!

In terms of looks, I like the Breaker more.
