Default New Enkei Rims Put on my Car, Opinions?

Just picked these up a few days ago. Enkei GTC01 - 19x8.5/9.5 Offset +22 All around

The finish is seriously amazing, and i've seen ALOT of wheels. The pics dont' do it justice.

Let me know what you guys think. Yes, it COULD use a drop

And yes the car is very stock-ish. I've only had it a month, go easy on me










I'm New to the Forum, so here's Pics of My Previous Pride & Joy(If anyone Cares)

Welcome to the forum. Another Vancouver member!

Love the car, and hey, you're a step ahead of me. I have some Enkeis of my own to put on, but they're still sitting in my apt storage So no worries.

Car looks great with those rims, man. And nice location... is that Horseshoe Bay?

It's actually Deep Cove in North Van, Whereabouts you live? What Enkei's are waiting to go on? RPF's?


Thanks for the comments everyone! I was waiting for the Flaming to begin for not Rocking a BIG LIP Don't get me wrong, I Love the Big lip, and So few people are lucky enough to own a Japanese car possible of taking a wide,low offset, big lipped wheel. Although, i figured I'd mix it up a little

No worries, man. Rock the car your way, people will appreciate it or they won't. But FWIW, Enkeis are well respected in the community.

And yes, I'm putting SBC RPF-1s on the car. Got the rubber, too... just got to pull the trigger on some lug nuts (And find a trustworthy place to do the alignment) and then they're on.

Deep Cove, eh? Shows what I know, I'm still new to the west coast, just got out here 9 months ago. I'm in Yaletown, renting and broke as ****, but I can't complain. We'll have to do an Chrome Silver/Enkei rim mini-meet sometime.

I totally agree man, from what i know, enkei only has 1 or 2 models that are forged, but as far as their CAST wheels go, They're tops in my books! As far as i'm concerned, any wheel company that makes manufacturers wheels is easy to trust

And yes, i know What Living in Vancouver Does to your wallet. Sucks. I May end up having to LIVE in my Z, while parked under Granville street bridge..

You gotta send me some pics Of the RPF's when you get em on!

National Tire in Burnaby Does a good job, and they have a fairly new wireless alignment machine. They did my alignment on my 240sx a while ago, and every single suspension arm on my 240 was Aftermarket So they know what they're doing. Just stay away from Kal-tire, I used to work there, so i know, haha. If the numbers are CLOSE to spec, I've seen them just shake the car, to get the machine to register numbers in spec, then print it out to show the customer the work was DONE And if they DO adjust, They ONLY touch the Steering rack for toe adjustment, they avoid camber or caster adjustment on ANYTHING.


Anyways, I'm all for a little CS mini meet!, I've never seen the Super Brilliant Coating in person!

MUCH better 4th post than some noobs here. Pics of them sitting on the roof of their cars and what not.

Wheels don't look too bad at all. Yes, needs a drop, but you haven't had it that long so i'll give you another week or 2, but after that im going to start calling you 4x4Cory
