Enkei RC-T4

fromSVXtoSTi · 01-06-2007, 09:32 PM

Love these rims. They look great, and they're light. This set is an 18x8 with 235/40/ZR18 BFG G-force sport. Thus far, I'm very happy with the BFG's. Good grip, no noticeable loss of steering response (in daily driving...haven't gotten very aggressive with them), quiet...overall very nice.

Anyway, the new wheels and tires are lighter (subjectively) than the stock ones

. Good alternative to Volks IMHO.

Enjoy the pics!

Those look great, very rally inspired design.

**amg destroyer** · 01-06-2007, 10:11 PM

Those look really nice, especially with those mudflaps...really "rally" oriented.

them so good pics!

Weight on them?

fromSVXtoSTi · 01-08-2007, 06:27 PM

Unfortunately, I have no scale, so this weight is only what I was told...

17-19lb. for 18x8.

I realize that's a wide range...sorry I couldn't be more accurate for ya

Conatct MPJ/Speedelement on Nasioc. They can get you an exact weight

Are those forged?
Also what is the offset.
Do they come with center caps?
Also those are going to be a biotch to clean...

I actually like the Bronze ones.

I love those wheels, i'm torn between those or the CCW clasics at the moment.

They are cast using Enkei's MAT flow casting technology. It's supposed to alighn the grain structure similarily to a forging process. I'm sure they're not as strong, though. If it's any comfort, we've been running MAT flow cast Enkeis on our race 350Z here at work for about 6 months with no issues. They might not fare so well on really rough "rally" type stuff, though.

Offset is +45 for the 8" wide, +48" for the 8.5" wide

Center caps are available, but I don't like 'em. I may just put small caps directly onto the hub like my SVX has

They are a bit difficult to clean...but they sure do look good clean

Very nice! Hopefully Ill get to check em out in person.

JKonquer · 01-12-2007, 09:50 PM

these are same wheels that guys in japan uses for road racing like HPI...
i love these wheels. i would love to see them in white

STi_Mark · 02-26-2007, 11:47 AM

Do you think the RE070 225's would fit on these wheels with a 17x8.5 dimension? Or would I need something larger in the 235-245 range?

Considering purchasing the 8.5"s but don't really want to spend the money on tires as my RE070's have 1,500 miles.

Yea you can squeeze them on with no problem.

I know this is old but I was wondering what size tires the OP is now running. I know he is now running the RB320 suspension. Any isssues? Rubbing? Bent wheels?

chawklit · 10-21-2007, 05:14 AM

I've been pondering getting these wheels, but now that I've seen them in gold/wrb combo I'm sold. Now I just need to decide between 17x8.5 and 18x8.5.
