They are not RPF1's or Rota Grids.....

Not that I hate those wheels i'm just tired of seeing them so I decided to pick up the Uber sweet 18x10.5 NT03's from my friends at Touge Factory

Car is dropped on Fortune Auto coilovers with 9K front 11K rear spring rates and it almost drives like stock. The Swift spring upgrade with rear helpers was really worth it.

Any questions feel free to ask or hate

spacers are 8mm el cheapo's for now and actually they have 0 vibrations at any speed. But really you only need a 5-7mm for safety....I ordered a good set of spacers from Motorsport-tech.com that are 7mm and hub/borecentric and should be here next week sometime.

Offset on the wheels are +30 with 275 Hankooks.

Nice wheels. I was going to get a set of either rpf1 or nt03. But I decided not too since everyone had them. But they do look nice.nice drop.

car looks good so does the drop. You think washing your car a lot is bad... if you had a black car you'd be washing twice as much...

As for wheels, I don't get why people complain bout RPFs being played out... I guess every other Volk and Advan set up is played out as well...

fact... reason why people run them all the time on their cars are simply for they are light, affordable, original design, and good quality. ... I speak for Enkeis that is...

I know people are entitled to opinions as to what a wheel looks good or not... if I had to choose between the 2 Enkeis I say NT03s. They look awesome... I don't care if they are played out.

Thanks for all the replies. Also, I keep getting comments on why I didnt go with black or some other color. I feel the silver goes perfect with white and doesn't hide the wheels look and makes it look a little bigger than black would. Plus IMHO black wheels on white is getting played out, it seems like for the past 5 years the black look is the standard.
