MOAR pics of the black edition enkei's.... yes

So i realized that my driver's side switchback is out. BUT... I thought it was kind of neat because that means that the yellow is still functional when I flip the turn signal switch. Basically, when the headlights are on, all you see are the headlight and the lower HID fog. When i turn, it just blinks yellow on and off. Pretty neat! I'm waiting for the other side to go out too, lol.

As per your guys' request, MOAR pics are up! No, REAL pics are up, ludachris.. ha..

Again, the specs are 18x9.5 +45 all around, and my fenders were rolled over the weekend by rodney, came out beautiful and NO MORE RUB A DUB
They are approx 17 lbs a wheel and make my car FLY.

P.S. If sprtstr012 posts on this thread, don't talk to him.

























9.5" width DAAAAAAAMN yes i get understeer, thank you.


With flash!


NBP scintillates in the night








Thanks Rodney!

Looks good But please remove the tein stickers on the side just makes it look gawdy. I couldn't imagine anyone sporting different companies name like that unless the manufacturer was paying you for having their name on your car. But hey if you like free advertisement for them more power to you. Should definately think about painting your calipers black would flow alot better.

Wheels are growin on me, that looks great! LOVE the FAT tires!! The black/silver calipers would have gone good on your old wheels. But now I agree with Blac on this one: RED calipers would look great with these wheels! (Unless you plan on changing these wheels soon!)

Your switchbacks are out now? WTF?? I am out on one side too! I have a new pair sitting here to go in but what is the use? These things have a 1 year expiration date??? I don't think any of us have has them last more than 1 year....and you actually have the updated 30LED model with SMTs and not the old 20LED flux ones I have. These things are GARBAGE! $50 for 1 year bulbs. Screw autolumination!!!

I think I'm going to remove the TEIN stickers and acurazine..... i have too many decals and the college stickers on the rear windshield don't help either... don't worry

lol, tires are 275/35-18.

I'm thinking of powdercoating mine black but I think it would be overkill.. if I do I'll let you know

They're the limited black edition; matte black.

Yeah I'm thinking of getting a rotora bbk but that's way down the line, like i've been telling everyone I'm not spending another dime on this car, I'm in a slump!

Nitto Invo's are STICKY... but the weather is getting colder and colder and they will lose their efficacy... ordered goodyear eagle F1s for the front (11/32nd) and Yokohama Advan S.4 for the rear (10/32nd).

I approve of Nitto Invos! Good for lowered cars too; asymmetric design.

hahahah i love the fat tires too... yeah rotora bbk soon.
I like the fact that my switchbacks are out... i don't see a corner light and when i'm turning they just blink bright yellow. Since the white leds are always on whenever the parking or headlights are on, they will die out much quicker but the yellows will stay alive for quite some time.... gives it a more deadly look since theres no corner signal.

Yep thats the route I'm going. He could get rid of that red sticker. Get yellow BBK and paint a yellow time attack line on those wheels. That would be INSANITY.

I'd call those real pics. And you even managed to get the right ones in there (straight side shots, both close up and full car)! I've yet to figure out why people post pics of their wheels at funny angles...save the lame stuff for after you handle business and do the real stuff. /rant

I like them. Still not a fan of black wheels, but I like the style of the wheels and the overall look with the tires. They are very fitting on your car, which looks really good, by the way. Was going to ask about tire specs, but I see you answered that for someone else...however, which fenders did you roll, all or just the rear?

Thanks chilL! I rolled the rear fenders only. Set ride height in moderation (key) and the front doesn't even rub. Who woulda thunk it on a 9.5?

It's been done before, but not by many, and certainly not with 275's. And you're still pretty low...perfect drop, in my opinion (pics 6 and 16 illustrate it best).

Wide wheels + big fat tires > *


Quick Reply: MOAR pics of the black edition enkei's.... yes
