New for 2008 AME TM-02 Wheels! Engineered by Enkei Japan w/ MAT Technology

New for 2008 AME TM-02 Wheels! Engineered by Enkei Japan w/ MAT Technology!!



ENKEI's Original and latest rim process technology!
Enkei developed a new manufacturing process to produce the next aluminum wheel generation. The Most Advanced Technology (M.A.T) combines one-piece cast wheel technology with a rim forming technology called spinning process. Using this new technology of casting and rim forming by M.A.T process, is critical to improve drastically the material property and strength of the wheels.


Well balanced thinning rim thickness, weight reduction and anti-flex structure in high dimension by M.A.T process
Following the high performance trend every year, tires and wheels are getting larger year after year. In order to reduce weight under a vehicle's suspension, it is important to reduce the wheel weight. The M.A.T process improves the mechanical property of the rim section by shaving the rim's thickness and therefore reducing wheel weight. This latest manufacturing technology and wheel engineering is a direct feedback.



The second generation of MAT
There is evolution type of MAT by pursuit some of points at MAT process which the best rim profile, detail of manufacturing process and build up the through motor sports activities.
It “MAT-DURA FLOW FORMING”
It has more strong strength and good metal flow than previous MAT
And, it is also strength to exceed much forging wheels.



New generation of light weight wheels!
The process to manufacture forged wheels and the material necessary to produce it have a very high cost. Many end users understand the benefits of the forged wheels but they cannot afford it. ENKEI's new generation of light weight wheels, made with the M.A.T Process, achieves light weight, strong and anti-flex properties while keeping the cost accesible to the end user. The high performance properties and the reasonable cost is definetely catching the attention of sport wheel users.

Similar performance as forged wheels while keeping freedom of design using ENKEI's original new manufacturing technology!
The weakest point of wheels Is the fact that It limits the freedom of design. ENKEI has year of experience developing light weight casted wheels using Its high-tech casting technology. Combining Enkei's high-tech casting technology with the new M.A.T Process, Enkei will develop new products with better performance than forged wheels without the limitation of design.

What size are you running on your car Cal? You think the 18x9.5's will clear stock fenders with a bunch of rolling?

Do the 18x9.5 +22s require a spacer up front to clear the calipers? Please PM a price on a set of those shipped to 22066. Thanks!

I am using 18x10 +15 offset on the red evo w/ 275/35/18 Toyo R888s r-compounds.

No spacers were used in this setup. Are you running wide fenders rear?

You might be able to go with reverse stagger or just go with 18x9.5 +22 all the way around.
