I don’t think you can call things like ce28’s expensive but then recommend the mita wheels. They are just as much aren’t they? Considerably more than what the op was looking at and more than pf01’s or some used oem wheels.

Yep. Any forged wheel is gonna be pricey.

I didn't NOT recommend CE28's bc they were pricey. I just said that they're an option that exists...but is pricey.

Mitas are priced between CE's and Enkeis.

Mita is just another good idea to add as an option. Not saying it supercedes the Enkei recommendation.

Seemed to me, he really wanted the AP2V3, but was OK settling for something else.

But for the price (and reliance of luck) of finding a brand new set of stock, cast AP2V3, you can have the Mita set. $2500 isn't a world ending number of dollars either. Its like $1200 more than the Enkei that he seemed "meh" on. I'd spend $1200 to turn "meh" into "f#$k yeah".

OP can decide whether the money is worth it for him/her tho.

Just coming back to all of this (been on vacay) and yeah I checked out the Mita wheels and they're damn good looking. They were initially outside my price range BUT I may have to consider them since it's so tough to find AP2V3's.

Those CE28's are so sexy but they're well outside of my range

If I were to buy the Mita wheels, what sizes would I get? They don't exactly line up to OEM specs.

Stock AP2 wheel specs are here. Just get as close as you can to those, if you want them to look and fit like stock.

I have PF01 SS 17x9 +48 square. The rears are fit nicely but front poking out a bit. I would go 17x8 or 17x9 +60 for the front.

I found a set of brand new AP2V3s on reddit for $2750 shipped so I pulled the trigger on them last night. They should be here in a couple weeks. I'll def post pictures once they've got tires and are mounted
