Default My Wheel Progression - MB Weapon to SF Chalenge to TE37 to RPF1 to VS-XX

Historically, I go through wheels faster than my wife does in shoes! I have yet to have a set of wheels that I need to replace tires on. My latest set have been on order with Work for about 8 weeks now and have finally landed in California. Here is my progression from he first set of wheels to the sneak peek of my new VS-XX:

MB Motoring Weapon 17x9 +17 (255/275)


Volk SF Challenge 19x9.5 +11, 19x10.5 +11 (235/265)


Volk TE-37 19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +22 (245/275)


Enkei RPF1 18x10.5 +15 (265/265)


Work VS-XX 18x10.5 +19, 18x10.5 +14 (265/265) I believe this is the Front A-Disk Wheel.

Not really - I work as a Manager for Enjuku Racing. Yes, we sell wheels but the sales only account for a very small percentage overall.

I have heard about this mysterious Enjuku in Houston. Can you get more details? I have only heard about a bunch of guys in a car club who called themselves Enjuku.

I chose 18" for the sole purpose of opting to go to Super Sticky or R-Compound tires if I ever need to. The tire that made me want to go to 18's is the Advan Neova.

I don't know about the first set, but I can understand your choices in wheels thereafter... wouldn't mind running the TE, SF, RPF, or VS. Not only a wheel ***** it seems. But a Tire ***** also. Anybody running Advan Neovas is rolling in $$$. Big props.

I was 95% ready to order the Advans, but I got a killer deal on Falken RT-615. As soon as these run out, I will do a review on the Advans.
