UPS only delivered 3 wheels and the 4th wheel has all of the lug nuts, so I couldn't even install the 3 wheels today. Looks like the original RL lug nuts are too big for the new wheels. The center plate won't fit either. I wonder if the Integra wheel center plate will fit the Enkei






UPS will deliver the 4th wheel tomorrow. I hope to install them tomorrow!

They look good, Enkei is a good choice, no knock off wheel there. What are the specs on the wheels/tires? 18's?

UW RL

Thanks Chas!

By the way, does anyone know how to remove the logo stickers "Enkei Tuning" on the wheels? I tried to peel it off but it's stuck all right. Maybe a
heat gun will help?

Wheels look great!! Those are the wheels I was considering for my RL.
Can I ask where you purchased them? Tire Rack does not show them on their site
any longer.

UW RL

I got them from Tirerack, matter of fact, I ordered from them last week.

Shoot, did I get the last set of Enkei SC05 from them?

neuronbob

Looking good, man! Can't wait to see pics with them installed.

Ballinger

Ditto that. They look good and we can't wait to see photos of them installed.

UW RL

Thanks guys. According to the UPS tracking, they are "out for delivery"! But they usually don't come until later in the afternoon....

I checked TireRack this morning and they have them back up on their site.

Nice choice!! Sorry the shipping to your area was so expensive. Enjoy!! Incidentally, my new G37 19" wheels are made by Enkei, they're beautiful.

UW RL

But Tirerack sent the wrong size lugnuts!! I got the 12X1.5 and it should have been 14X1.5. I was so ready to install the wheels and the car was jacked up and one wheel was removed. But it didn't happen.

I already talked to Tirerack and they are looking into it and hopefully they will send the replacement out tomorrow.

Times for photoshoot UW RL!!!
Let's meet up.

When you mount them, could you show the details of how the centering ring works? Thanks!

We are all excited for you, and disappointed the wrong lug nuts came. By the way, how are the seats different from the OEM lugs? Do you mind photo documenting that detail as well!

Are you doing anything about locks?
Or are they worthwhile?

UW RL

The centering ring is a combination of a plastic ring with a metal round wire around it. Matter of fact I am not sure how it works, but I will take some pictures when I mount the wheels, along with why the OEM lugs can't be used.

I will receive the new lugs today, and will install the wheels tomorrow!!

DoctorTuna

I just hope those nice new wheels clear the brake calipers.... Looking forward to the pics.

UW RL

Don't worry, they will clear the brake calipers I tried one wheel on without the lugs and it fit perfectly.
