18 x 8

I think these would look good on my WDP.

These shouldnt have a problem clearing the brembos?

 

Look sick. What's the offset?

 

 

Hmm let me try posting the pic one more time



It fits over the brembos. I bought one to test fit and will be buying the whole set sometime this week or next.

If the picture doesn't post here is the link of the rim on the car.

18x8 +40 I believe is the only offset doable

let me help you out there



they look way better than I thought... any chance the acura center cap fits?

and for $100 a wheel... SHIT
streetdreams.org $185 per wheel

 

dude were did you get that wheels from?

 

Thanks for the help and you are correct, Enkei only offers the 18x8 5x114.3 pattern with a +40 offset.


The reason why I chose the rim is because I have the a-spec kit installed minus the wheels and A-spec wheels cost to much for what they are when there are better alternatives out there for the money. The gunmetal is actually close if not the same color as the oem type-s wheel, but not surprised since the oem wheels are made by Enkei. The only down side is the rim weighs 25 lbs, if weight matters. With the EKM3's you are not gaining any performance value over the a-specs since they both weigh the same but not losing any either, they cost a lot less and imo look better.

 

Sorry forgot to add that the center cap looks like it will fit. I forgot to check and didn't think about it till after I the old rim back on.

 

hope it fits, I love aftermarket wheels, but also love seeing the factory center caps in the center for aesthetics lol

post pics as soon as you get the other three... I linked above to the cheapest price online

 

Hey!!! Im looking for new wheels also. Where did you get those wheels at? please.

 

I like those. I think they would look really good on a TL

 

thats a good find, i like how they look!

 

Get either a 5 or 10mm spacer to make it sit more flush.

 

I went with the hypersilvers for my WDP.

Ill post pics once I have them installed, they wont be here till probably late next week.

 

Nice I went Gunmetal obviously.

I ordered the set +tires from tirerack today and I didn't want to bargin with the price since the gunmetal rims are 175 vs the 170 I found at buywheelstoday.com. So With tires and TPMS I am getting the install kit which includes the hub rings and lug nuts for free plus free mount and balance for $1346 delivered. I went with the sumitomo HTR z III.

Also I talked to the Tirerack rep and mentioned these will be installed on an 07 tl type-s which they show does not fit on there site. I asked if I send you pictures after they are mounted will there be a possibilty they can be listed under the type-s since they will have proof of fitment? and the answer was obviously yes. I explained the issue that many owners with the brembos have a hard time looking for rims because of the fitment issue and that I posted this pic up on here and it was well recieved. So I hope they follow through with it and this will help give unknowing owners not part of the zine more options when shopping around. Good thing they fit, I would have been if not and possibly stuck with it.

 

I'm also interested in seeing if the OEM center caps fit.

 

Only pic I have now. Will have more once I wash the car.Enkei EKM3 Hyper Silver 18x8

 

next up.. pm excelerate about coilovers or something

cuz you sir need a drop badly... they look awesome but without a drop it just makes them look good... great would be with a drop lol


local members doing these also but on 245/40-18 tires... the extra sidewall should make for a flusher fit

 

did you put any spacer on these wheels?

 

more installed pics plz.

 

+1

I was thinking about those for my NBP. I just can't figure out whether they are too busy for the car.

 

 

Looks nice where to buy pls?

 

Any chance you have any side pix?

 

Any updated photos? How about a full side view?

 

i made a thread about this wheel i ended up not getttin it ...im currently thinkin about these http://tsw.com/alloy_wheels_snetterton.php in hyper silver

 

LOVE them!

 

or these

 

Which are these? I like this style of wheel - really would be great to find a replica TL-S wheel in 18 or 19".

 

Tenzo type M version 2

 

Yea the type m's are nice wheel too.. But they are around $150-200 more for the set, I still find ekm3 to be extremely cost effective

 

they look similar to OEM but not really

 

So far those Tenzo Type M's were my pick - but these Enkei's are definitely a close second. Both keep that stock-ish look.

 

for those of you who didn't know... this is the pre-cursor to this wheel


enkei RPM2

 

The tenzo's are nice but if you have brembos I think you will need to use a spacer. I am anti spacer.

I would have bought the RPM2's over the ekm3's if they were still available. I think the 18's were like 19 pounds and they cost was under 200 per wheel.

Spacer not required.

OEM center caps do not fit.

 

Me too.



OEM center caps do not fit. [/quote]
Could you fit the center cap on Any of these wheels? if yes wish ones does it fit on.

 

Pics dont do these wheels justice. I have the hypersilvers on a WDP. They look so much better in person.

 

i think they need to be at least 19's to look nice

 

Better how? I'm seriously interested in these wheels, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the color on them is. How would you describe it? Does it change in sunlight/darkness?

Anybody feel free to chime in!

Seriously though, I even made a web gallery of all of the pics I could find of these wheels in Hyper Silver and I swear that the finish looks different in every picture. Which of these pictures do you think best represents what the wheel looks like the majority of the time?

its because the hyper looks darker from different angles... the sides of the spokes shade themselves making the color look different

that is the beauty of hypersilver...

ps. if a flash is used the color looks completely off
