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{thumbup}

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 :D

What did you use for spacers?

G-4ce_Banger Jun 28, 2011 09:33 PM

Looks nice! What's the offset?

T_REX02 Jun 28, 2011 09:59 PM

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.

Wheels look nice... but must be such a pain to clean! can't stand mesh looking wheels just cuz of that lol.

Dstretch33 Jun 29, 2011 09:30 AM

classic wheels, you can't go wrong.

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.

Yes, they suck cleaning....I'm starting to get tired of washing my own car too....It's time to start hiring those mobile guys to come clean it...lol

car looks good so does the drop. :thumbup: 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.

looks great {thumbup}

Toxin Jun 29, 2011 04:11 PM

Not much better in terms of popularity with the nt03+m but who cares anyway. Looks good.

Black&Boostin Jun 29, 2011 06:51 PM

Even before owning my X i knew i wanted to go with NTO-3's. Looks great!

T_REX02 Jun 30, 2011 03:04 AM

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.

Looks very nice. :beer:
