Who likes stock wheels?

Who all likes the stock wheels on the X? I love them, a slightly lowered X with stock rims looks great imo

I like both the Enkeis and BBS but they are tucked in a little to far when you lower your car.

But that's a quick fix with spacers so...

Looks good lowered and spacers IMO. Ran that for a good 2 years before the new wheels.

The look of the car completely changes with 20-25mm spacers. I like the BBS' better, but my Enkeis look great ever since I did spacers. 20mm hubcentric with ARP studs, trouble free operation and looks really good and tasteful in my opinion.


Here is a comparison of my car with/without spacers. Nothing else changed besides that and the wing.

Looks great. I will most likely get spacers as well and just call it a day.

Not sure if that was for me or the OP but I have 20mm Sparco spacers all around with the extended ARP studs. Fitment is great and the quality is good too.

This is the current problem I keep running into with mine. I'm torn on trying to pick out the right aftermarket wheel, or sticking with my stock Enkeis because I just love them. Currently lowered on some Eibach prokits, so they are tucked in a bit. But like others have mentioned I might just go with some wheel spacers instead.

The stock enkei's do look good on the X. Especially when they are nice and clean. They look better with spacers though. I'm in the process of taking mine off and cleaning the inside and outside of the entire rim. I was running 25mm spacers on mine, but it was rubbing along the fender liner when fully turned so I think I'm going to go with 20mm spacers.

They definitely look good with spacers and a mild drop. For an even more custom look you could take them and have them powdercoated. Not bad at all.

I really just want the BBS'. I have always liked them a lot more over the Enkeis.

I love the Enkeis on GSR. Rally style looking. Not a big fan of the BBS.
