Nice setup, similar to the look I'm going for.
I got V12s in the mail, what do you think about them so far? They are rated high in reviews and they are really cheap. I spent $560 out the door for 4. I was also seriously considering the PF01's in 18 but I ended up getting TSW Nurburgrings in gun metal. |

Just curious, are you using the stock lug nuts for your Enkeis? I thought the stock lugs have a ball/radius seat while the Enkeis require conical seat lugs.

No, he isn't using his stock lugnuts because his stocks are in a bag in my garage.

Indeed Darren does. I'm using am lugs that are really cheap... Buying some rays lug nuts or something soon. With this set up I wanted to stay close to stock weight with slightly more width in the tire. With our cars unless you slap a turbo on it wider tires don't improve the performance of the car. So this is my simple wheel fix!! Also there is only a extra 2.2 pounds and 1 inch more rubber in width in total on the power wheels... Car still burns em off... Chirps 2nd.... Just hugs the road better now! And yea these tres are cheap but feel more expensive then what they actually are.
P.s 18in wheels look better on our cars but simply kill performance I believe. |

Even the Road and Track wheel and tires comparison highlights this. I do agree that a comparable 17 will be better for performance. I also noticed Moto-P is running very light 18s and doing well on the track. For me, I have a light 18 with sticky tires. I kept the new size near oem sizing too. I'll add a review after install and some miles Last edited by BRZranger; 08-16-2012 at 03:47 PM. |

Indeed it all depends how much contact point and weight you are adding. In my case it's not much. But with most 18in set up people are running its killing their cars performance.
