My NT03's should be in this week. Then off to powder coat... I'll take plenty of pics...

 

old wheels

 

That's a sick ride man..... I cnt wait to be able to afford wheels lol. GG FTW!!!!

 

Any of you guys have issues rubbing fender liners in the front with the 18x9.5 +27's?

 

Where is everyone getting them from? I want to get a set also, are you guys sending them to get painted black or buying them like that?

 

yeah mine rubbed terribly, but i think that happens with any wheel around a 20 offset 18x9.5 (keep in mind a 10mm spacer is required to clear brembos, so technically its a +17 offset in the front)


i personally bought mine black, you have to find them black at a dealer. apparently if you want to order a special color from enkei, you have to order 40 of them... so when i bought mine black the guy i bought them from bought 40 and had them painted black.

 

^^^^Do you think if i buy a set and have them powder coated it will ruin the rim?

 

lol no. just about ever company powdercoats their wheels. the whole "it weakens the wheel" thing i dont really understand.. but anyways, enkeis are very very strong, they use that MAT technology which i hear is about as strong as forged, just much cheaper to produce which is why enkeis are so used in racing, their strong, light, and CHEAP!

 

absolutely not, its harmless to the wheel. after all, im pretty sure the factory powdercoats them

 

I am located near Austin, do you know any good shops that can paint a set for me. I have been to KevinD's shop so even someone in your area would be ok with me.

 

but to get them to fit over the brembos you need a 12mm-15mm spacer making them a +12 then yes... you will. Haha, they take minor work to fit, not a direct bolt on.

 

nt-03s are nice

 

Did you guys remove the liners? or just heat them up and bend them? Any tips would be helpful!

 

Anyone running 20mm spacers with the 18X9.5 +40's? I'm running 25mm spacers but want to get them to tuck more up front.

 

Makes me want to save my money to get the performance of these tires for my next set
