NM RSe05 vs Enkei RPF1
I need to order a set of wheels to go with the Dunlop ZII's for autocross. At first I was set on the OZ Alleggerita wheels but after looking at the SCCA rules the 38 offset is too far off from the OEM offset on my JCW.
So now I am looking at the NM RSe05 or the Enkei RPF1. I want a black wheel and the style of the NM is a little better, however they are almost 2lbs heavier.
The biggest benefit of the NM is the bore is stock so I don't have to have centering rings.
So which wheels do people like better between the two and which one do you think has a better resale?

I've recently picked up the car as well as a set of the Neuspeed (NM Eng) RSE05's... I think they look great, the offset is perfect and I really like the little bit of concave! Here's a pic of the car lowered about 1 1/2" on a set of RSS coils with the wheels. (Rubber is 215/45/17)

I am in the same boat as you, I am trying to decide between the 2. I am probably going to go with the NM wheels because my current tires will fit onto them and I can save a little for the future of getting better tires.
Did you have to run any spacers with your coilovers? I have KW V2s that I might have to run spacers with when I get those wheels.

It is tight between the wheel and the coils (I'd say less than 5mm) but the wheels work with the H&R's without rubbing. That was one of the reasons I went with them...proper center bore and offset for the car. I dealt with Jerry at Neuspeed; great guy, y'all should do the same!
