I am looking for the Enkei WTE (WRC Tarmac Evo). Does anyone know where I can find it?

Depending on where you live, Discount Tire Center can get you (almost) any wheel for an excelent price

Yes I just bought those in 8.5x18 for my evo.

In France they are distributed by lr diffusion, the price is aroun 400$ for one in 18, they are 9,6kg, the volk te 37 aluminium are 7,8kg and the te 37 in magnesium 5,8kg.

TE37 MAGs

Too bad you have to own a small country to afford them.

They could ship them to the USA, I suppose, but that would cost some money, my guess is around $300. Also check what the USA require in terms of duty and tax to be paid on goods imported from France.

I weighed a Tarmac Evo wheel in 18 inch at a shop in Tokyo and it was 10.2 kg. Not sure about the offset and width though. Did you check the weight or were you given a technical datasheet, Maxi?
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

Hell, the last I was able to even track down a price on the web....they priced much higher than $5k a set. I'm sure it varies quite a bit depending on where you find them considering the scarcity of the wheels outside of the racing arena.
