Difference between NT03 and NT03+M

Hi Guys,

I did my due diligence and searched s2ki.com, nasioc.com, evolutionM and googled it as well. I came up with nothing that satisfied the question.
I've been interested in this wheel since I had my S2000, then WRX, and now Evo.

So, what is the difference between the NT03 and the NT03+M.

I know they come from the RCT1 wheels. The NT03 is a discontinued model and the +M is the current one.

Don't buy discontinued tires. If you have a blow out your ****ed and can't find the tire anymore.

I agree 100% with you on that. However, these are wheels that we are talking about.

Anyone?

Been searching around some more and found that one is more concave than the other? Can't quite find exact pictures because the names are so similar that it's hard to even google for decent pictures.

lmao nt03's are rims by enkei, nt05's and nt01's are tires by nitto.


call enkei. +m is indicative of their MAT flow forming process. Some call it 'Semi forged'. Its really just a step between cast and forged, though much closer to cast in terms of strength. Call enkei and ask them if their origional nt03's are flow formed as well.

the difference in concave is due to offset and width combination.

i couldn't tell you the difference in wheels, though.
