My old set up was
RPF1 spc square 18x10.5 offset 15 with 275/35-18 Frnt and 275/40-18 rear (did this because i wanted near stock wheel radius and now pyshin is running it on his car)
Dropped on Kw Variant 3 about 1.50 inches with 2 degrees of camber all around

Regular commuting or spirited driving i had no issues. at the track at full load on the front i would rubber very slightly..


New set up is
RS05RR Matte gunmetal gray 18x10.5 Offset 15 front and 18x11 Offset 16 with 275/35-18 front and 295/35-18 rear

Dropped on KW Variant 3 at about 1.25 inches with about 2 degrees of camber

The RS05RR are my favorite as well. But I want the bright silver which some here say is difficult to clean (lots of scrubbing ).

Enkei Racing vs. Tuning wheels

I’m researching wheels and have found Enkei has an exceptional reputation.

My question is the difference between the Racing and Tuning editions of Enkei wheels. The Racing wheels are lighter, but that seems to be the only difference (aside from co$t of course). Enkei says the manufacturing process is the same.

Can anyone here comment on this?

Thanks, --Spike

Usually lighter in weight and more aggressive specs.

Looks like more of the racing wheels have RWD specs and the tuning wheels have more FWD specs. Both are MATT technology wheels, I would get hung up on what series they are.

Soo.. I may get rid of my set up.

And no.. The cleaning isn't as much of a b*tch as you would think. I've gotten used to it. Nt03 IMO would be more difficult because of it's spokes and inner support ring.

I would think that gunmetal would be easier to keep clean than bright silver.

it wouldn't show as much dirt because of the color if that's what you mean. but if you run brakes pads that put out a lot of dust , wouldn't matter your wheels will look dirty regardless of color imo, but the actual process of cleaning it isn't so bad.

Thanks for the clarification/explanation. I wasn't sure, but I see your point: Dirty is dirty, and it needs to be clean. I get it now.
