New Enkei PKRs
New wheels finally...kind of. they are not much different than my current ones but enough of a differerence to warrant the purchase. i also bought the Autotecknic CF JGTC style mirrors. they should look real good with these wheels.
UPS did lose my two front wheels. i have to wait three days for anything to happen. i wanted them on for a photoshoot this weekend but that is not going to happen.
i didn't realize that the lip was going to be black, from the pics on the DTD site, i thought the lip would be machined/polished like my PK6s. all the black is growing on me though. thought about sending them back but i might just keep them.
the sizes are as follows: Enkei PKR 18x8.5 +24 F 18x9.5 +25

do you guys think it would be easy to apply that 3M clear guard to a wheel? i would imagine it would be but have now experience with that stuff.

It has been a consensus so far...everyone likes the new ones better. so do i! just worried about the scratching of the lip. I built my car mainly for show so i couldn't have that. i think my best alternative is to armorcoat the whole wheel. Anyone know of any places that would polish the lip on my wheels for a good price and do an excelent job? i am worried that it will not look clean afterwards. for example, i don't want the polished area to end just short of the inner edge unevenly. the cheapest alternative would be 3M clear guarding them. anyone know where i could purchase sheets of that stuff? can it be purchased like that?
