Default A few driveway shots of the new Enkei's

Recently put my NT03+m Enkei's on, 18x9.5 +27 and 18x10.5+30, 245/40 and 285/35. The fronts weren't clearing my Brembo's and the rear tire had to come out from the coilover a little, but other than that they look awesome IMO and 100x's better than my old set up.





and yes I will be getting wider rear spacers to get the rear flush.

old set up

Nice. I honestly think I liked the old wheels better though, but that's just me.

But please at least take that stock tow hook off or paint it or something, it just looks silly.

IMO the new setup looks a lot better than the old setup...those rims with some good tires are great for DD and track use, nice choice

I like those Enkei's alot. I think they would look sick if you had them painted or powder coated gloss black.

I'm debating if I should get them painted or powdercoated in a matte/satin black. I'm possibly doing a carbon hatch and roof so I think it would go nicely together.

The old wheels had more potential. It's just a matter of putting everything together correctly. Painting the CF hood, clearing out the headlight, and putting on clear reflectors would have really set off the old wheels more.

Anyways, those Enkeis should be nice and light though.

I think the old setup looked better as well. Just needed to present it better. I seen those enkeis on an evo and it looked good. But not on the z imo.

What happened to the old ones?

BTW, both old and new wheels look great, although I prefer the RH S3 Pros (I'm a huge fan of Super Advan V2 and these are very similar).

Looks good, and I love the NT03's, but the 3-spokes looked better imo. More unique.

The new wheels look good and the stance looks better with the new wheels, but the old wheels fit the Z a little better to me. Can't lose either way though.

Cheers

I think the car looks sick. Sometimes we just get bored!

If you want to cash out the old wheels... Pm me.
