Nice wheels. I love how the front looks but I personally would have liked the back to have a bigger lip for a more aggressive stance. Hurry up and get the car on the road so we can see some pictures of the wheels with shiny rotors behind them!

But still, your Enkei wheels would be my No.1 choice if I could get them in Europe.

Rotorbrain: how much were they ? They're 18", right ?

theyre 18s and i paid 840 shipped for em at tirerack.

i thought there was more lip on them. . . but the offset is in the center rather than at the rim. . . yuck. . . oh well. not really bothering me. i have noticed that makes the rim looks skinnier though. . . theyre 9.5's in the back.

my car will be running tomorrow night!!! i have all the parts ready to put on. . . just a few mounting tabs need to be modified and then were on the road. . . cause those rotors are nasty!!!!

I don't think these come in gunmetal with a machined lip so maybe someone could photoshop a couple of these pics. I really like these rims and would consider painting them if I purchased them. Is that price with tires?


I just checked the tire rack web site and they do have a rim like I stated but looks black with machined lip. doesn't look like they they have the 9.5 in this color thow.

looks like you could get a wider tire on it in the rear as well...if they make them in that size for that brand tire.
