In front of my house after waxing the wheels:

Close to Celebration Park in Gardner, Kansas:

Exhaust video too!

Let me know what you think.

I like em, but I like your old rims better.

Just curious, did you win these off ebay?

MB Five X's, eh? I like 'em. Had them on the old neon and loved them. I just wish they made them in 17's also.

Not me, I like these better. Even though they are cheap rims.
No on the eBay....
Bought them through http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.do
Free shipping, $50 off a set of rims. $90 each so after discount $77.50 each. Went with Goodyear Eagle GT's that have a 50k mileage warranty on them, $40 mail in rebate on a set. 225/50/16. They ride very smooth. So happy with this purchase. Now someone buy my Enkeis, or I will get winter tread for em!

Yup! Didn't know you rocked them as well! Pictures? I like the look of the 16's with the 50 series tire. I honestly would of not bought them in 17's. I believe they only weigh a few ounces less than my Enkeis, which are 17's.

They were on my old SE. I kinda wish I kept them when I sold it, but obviously didn't need them. They're awesome wheels for the price. Kinda surprised more people don't run them. They go great with silver

Nice, go good with blue too, always loved silver wheels on blue cars.

There is a user on srtforums that is running them and I literally fell in love. Rocking rims made in China and tires made in Chile.

Nice setup. I like the meaty tires on the srt's. I always associate meaty tires with high horsepower. Makes the car look more aggressive.

Did you decide to leave the plasti-dip over hang on the bumper lip? In some of those far away shots I didnt notice it but you can see it on the close up shots. Now that I've seen it a few times, it kind of grows on you.

+1

i really like the black housing headlights + painted cross hairs

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 11:17 am

The wheels look great, I love them! Truthfully though, the black crosshairs totally kill the exterior look, especially with the random cut off 1/3 way down the front lip.

ive been on the fence for a few days about the blacked out front bumper, and honestly i think it looked cleaner before. all silver FTW

Jeff, what size tires were on your old MBs? Were they 50 series too?

And how much for the enkeis?

We need to set up a neon meet in Kansas, seems like all the meets are so far away from the middle midwest.

I believe they were 50 series. It's been so long since I've had them.

True that. I would love to get a HUGE gathering in say St. Louis some time, its just hard to set something like that up, must be really far in advance.

The wheels look great, I love them! Truthfully though, the black crosshairs totally kill the exterior look, especially with the random cut off 1/3 way down the front lip.

Its a love or hate thing, after rocking it for a couple weeks now I don't mind it. Looks cool from a distance, but up close its gay. I thought I would try it out. Would be better with a BFMIC, just the crosshairs and insides/no crash bar. But I like my car stability and protection, so the crashbar will always stay. Its plastidip, so I can always peel it off.

If you are truly interested in the Enkeis send me a PM, I will put them up forsale soon. Shipping might be bad, but my girlfriends father is district manager for this tool shop so I might be able to ship through him for cheap.
Thanks for the comments guys!
The thing I love about these rims is how well they match the PS2 silver.

I like the new wheels, and can appreciate the 16's for ride comfort and tire sizing. I did love your 17's though.

I don't like the blacked out crosshairs. UN-black them and it'll be looking sweet.

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Tue Jun 14, 2011 1:07 am

Crosshairs are back to silver again. Plasti-Dipped peeled right off.

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:16 pm

Snapped some quick photos. After I took the plastidip off I put the colormatched foglight bezels on for the hell of it.

Car looks good man, much better without the plastidip
