i just discovered this wheeel not long ago....and i love it. as a matter of fact i think it's my favorite wheel at the moment. it will come in 5X100, which is good news for all that are interested. it's like the Grame Lights version of the TE37, for poor people .

lol...they're still pretty pricey but i know what you mean.

I like em alot too, but i'm into a little more intricate spoke design . I'm a sucker for split 5 spokers (work emotions/advan rz) split 6 spokers (Enkei GTC01/Gram lights 57 extremes) and i ALWAYS love a good mesh. Work VS-xx, BBS LM...i have expensive taste

i caught an MKVI R32 rolling into work today on Enkei 18" GTC01's. I spoke with the driver who said he's spent about $80 repairing the wheels after bending two of them. he said Enkei is a great wheel, and i believe it is, but i'd rather get something that's pretty strong that i'm not going to have to pay extra money to maintain. get whatcha' pay for, you know?

Lol yea, i know you gotta pay to play

I'm honestly pretty surprised he bent an enkei, especially a model from their highest tier Racing line. Did u ask how he Bent them?..did u drive off a cliff or set off a land mine?..lol

Enkei's arent the end all and be all of strength, but i have to say, if theres an incident on the road bad enough to bend an enkei, you have to figure alot of other rims would've bent in the same situation.

Dying for white wheels on a SWP BRZ... Looks so damn good. Problem is I know nothing about wheels/tires, etc... I know, I suck.

Team Dynamics or BRAID. Both have great price/strength/weight balances on their rims.

I love the white on white for sporty japanese cars. The problem is the SWP has some strong color shifting to it and its very reactive to light. certain times of day youll have pure white wheels on a "beige" car.

I think white wheels have to go on a non metallic white. But thats just my opinion
