Enkei Bortex

Has anybody seen these wheels? How do you think they would look on our cars? An 18" only weighs 17 lbs. Pretty light...

I think it would look very classy, yet sporty! Thinking about getting a set of 17's; however, from what I remembered, I don't think it comes in a 48mm offset or higher

to see them you can go to www.enkei.com. select wheels --> tuning and the BROTEX are the ones on the left.

FDao-they come in a 45 offset in 17". 18" are available in 50 offset.

Thanks eman. I was referring to the 17's as they don't come in anything higher than 45

Sounds pretty light. But what cost and quality?

They look liek sweet rims to me. My only complaint was that they only come in that gunmetal-like finish. When I contacted Enkei, they stated they didnt have any plans to make them in any other colors. All I wanted was plain jane silver

Keep looking at them!!! I think the gunmetal would look totally sweet with your Aegean blue....

If this is true then maybe would could get the SEMA wheels from them???

That would rock I think.

Oh that note though, who makes a wheel thats the closest (sp?) to the SEMA ones?

With a 50mm offset, you will not likely rub, even with lowering. Technique noted that a lowered CL-S with 17 x 8 @ 48mm offset showed no rub during hard cornering, so 18 x 8 with 50mm offset should not either
