These wheels are light and very strong and are from the racing series. Enkei is an OEM manufacturer and I use their wheels on my cars.

If you want a set, check out my thread for the promo....

Idk, I think it looks kind of neat like that. Kind of like how the SS/SC guys used to paint the face and bevels of the spokes differently.

I'll probably have to pick up some plastidip and coat mine before I head to RA again this spring. It seems these rims have a paper thin coating that will scratch or chip if you so much as look at it wrong.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what the silver paint color/code is if we ever want to get them repainted the same color as stock? Or are we SOL and have to just buy a new set?

^make sure if you do coat them in plastidip that you dont skimp out on putting the layers on thick. it makes removal like a bajillion infinity times easier when its on thick.


and the paint code is a good question, but why exactly would you need to match the color perfectly if your repainting all 4 anyways? not like anyones going to notice them being "a different silver" as long as its close

Idk, the stock silver of these wheels just seems to pop so much more than just about any other silver wheel I've seen. Pfft, Idk why I'm explaining this to you, I know you know it just as well as I do

The Black / silver looks 200% better than the red ones. Stick with the Black/silver.

235 is as far as you can go on the car without it behaving like a drunk driver in a toronto street car.
the 245 fits the 9.5 very well, but some road surfaces you have to be careful, it can hurt your wrists when it takes off.

torque steer gone awol.

You could NOT drive that size tire in the winter, even as a snow tire. lol
