Enkei GTC 01 Wheel on my 09 FX35

[trainerKEN]

don't do 21's because those tires will get expensive in the long run...

as for the weight? I really don't think it's going to be that big of difference in terms of performance...

 

[turbocad6]

15lb's plus each wheel is big.... general rule I've seen thrown around is every 1 lb reduction of unspung weight is equivelent to 4 lb's reduction in spung weight performance wise, it's a bigger difference than you realize I think bro...

 

[Keenguy]

I believe its cast made right? That couple with a lighter weight. Nobody thinks the rim will will have any problems down the line due to that and its lighter weight? i.e. industry strength specifications.

I do like the look though

 

[turbocad6]

well, I guess I'd def check the load rating of the wheel to make sure it's suitable for the fx of course, but assuming that is ok then 20" with a 265/50 will have a lot of tire cushion & should be pretty durable, your talking ~5" of of sidewall really... have you checked the load rating of the wheel?

 

[White_Hair]

That looks really good. Nice choice!

No I have not checked the load rating, I have not seen it listed. I think the wheel should be pretty durable since it is used in racing applications.

Adding to Soon's In motion w/ a drop

here how they look on the new GTR:

 

[turbocad6]

since they fit the gtr, they are def bbk friendly at least... really like this wheel...

 

[Holyfield]

Slick. I think they'd look really nice with a painted red (or your color of choice) brake caliper. Or as Turbo suggested, perhaps a big brake kit

BBK is mandatory for these skinny spokers

hey John, maybe a great replacement set for Winter time.

+1 trust me, I know. I feel like one of those buff guys with a lot of upper body and no lower body (small legs), wearing shorts.

 

[turbocad6]

should wear some baggy pants then bro :wub:

 

[GEE50FX]

The more I see these the more I like them.

Now I am looking around for the best price on them and a set of Yoks.

 

[Dr.2K]

Hmmm...I would have definitely got a set of these for my track wheels if I was still going to the track.

 

[GEE50FX]

Decisions, decisions

I am so seriously thinking of ordering these wheels and a set of Yokohoma Paradas this week.

I did another photoshop, although not a very good one.

[ATL_FX35]

They look nice with the drop and BBK setup.

I always wondered what the 09s would look with factory 20s that came with the 08 FX45.
