well the price for the 16's run about 150 USD. Not to bad. but they have the bolt pattern plus the about the size I want, they ain't no porsche twists but ... they'll do

it's odd though the 17's are cheaper, I guess they're just more common.

The nice thing with Enkei is they are Jap made, ask around and that's supposed to be good, they have high standards to follow or somthing. But they also are a OEM for companies like toyota, mazda, and a few others.

Enkei makes the rims for Suzuki motorcycles. Right under the Suzuki "S" symbol on one of the spokes there is an "ENKEI" mark.

rip, keep in mind that there are many more tire options and brands in 17 than there are in are in 16. not a big deal, just factor it in when you make a decision. long term you can expect the 17 options to last a lot longer. 5-10 years down the road if you are still running it, you don't want to be limited in tire selection then anymore than you do now.

Rip,

Enkei are a huge after market wheel maker, In New Zealand we have a lot of Japanesse import cars and all the after market parts follow, Enkei are one of the premier wheel manufactures for drag, drift, track and road applications in the import world. If you are really concerned about wheel weight Enkei do a lot of light weight options, the funny thing is you pay more for less (weight).

18" wheels look outstanding on beetles.
