there is a million people running this wheel... and rightfully so.. its light, looks great and its just a bit pricier than a set of Rotas but less than any other JDM Wheel. You can buy 2 sets of Enkeis for what you pay for Volks I have a set on my I just picked up for my Subie. The Evo is getting Volks.



18x9.5 +38. Same face as the +15, but with less pack spacing. You can do the +38 but you will need a nice size spacer. People will sometimes run them is this higher offset to make the rears more flush. SBC is the best color IMO. It looks different depending on the light conditions. They should be labeled, "the Official Baller on a Budget wheel"

yes... on an VIII and IX you have roll your fenders flat and maybe a slight pull on the rear. Depends how much tire you decide to run and how low and what kind of suspension you are running. Most people will run 255/35s but some prefer 265s.

here is a thread who ran em on a IX

I'm looking into 17x9.5's. Is there an offset that wouldn't require a spacer? I've only seem them in +18 and +38. Wouldn't a +38 with a 20mm spacer be the same thing as a +18?
