Default Evo X Enkei Wheels

I had a lot of road noise coming from my z so I asked my friend with an evo x to use his wheels to make sure the road noise is coming from my tires. Anyways, I took some pics so you guys can see how they look on the z.

IMO they look better than the v1 touring wheels i had. They weight less and are wider too.

I think if you put some spacers and meatier tires it'd look decent, and possibly if they where a different color/ polished. But for all that work/money I'd go for the 370z wheels or some legit enkeis

Yeah, they would look better with spacers. I was just using them to diagnose some road noise I was having. I have mb battles right now with some cheap nankang tires that came with my touring wheels. Here's how my car sits now:

Not bad at all, thanks for posting your findings

Those wheels could make for a good set of temporary wheels
