Dr. Grey's new shoes - Enkei SS05

So I'm not a heavy poster on here but I check the site several times a week (love Acurazine).

Backstory:
- ordered some refurbished aspec wheels, turns out they were all bent. Sent them back
- I wanted something that looked like aspecs so ordered 18X8 ENKEI PERFORMANCE RSF5 HYPER SILVER from TIRERACK https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...c+Transmission
- turns out they were back ordered and wouldn't get delivered till May... so cancelled the order
- Looked for a similar style in stock then ordered 18X8 ENKEI PERFORMANCE SS05 HYPER GREY from TIRERACK https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...c+Transmission
- A have a good friend who is a service manager at Goodyear so he hooked me up with some Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

Had them installed balanced and mounted yesterday. Personally i was a little concerned the hyper grey was too flashy. Since there are a new wheel model not to many pics on the internet of them. But seeing it on the car... its growing on me. I like it.

Nicely preserves the OEM 10-spoke pattern, too.

Thanks. Yea I wanted as close as OEM that I could get since the a-specs didn't work out. I'm curious how they look while rolling, Maybe I will get someone to follow me on the highway and take a pic.
