Thanks! 235 40 18. It's funny getting a compliment from you, your set up was my inspiration! So thanks for that too!

I have them in 18x9.5 +43 they perfect

Okay guys, I've got a problem. I love the wheels, they're ALMOST everything I thought they would be. My issue is the powder coat. About two months having them, and not a whole lot of miles put on, it's chipping. I'm really disappointed. We all paid a good amount of money for these wheels, and I've never had issues with powder coat chipping. I'm not sure what I should do about it. I suppose I should start by contacting Enkei but I'm worried they'll just say tough luck. Below are some pictures, the chipping isn't serious but I'm worried this is only the start. I saw the bit around the center cap while I was washing it and thought it was just a little crusty something stuck on the wheel and I tried scraping it off and it only chipped off more of the coat. That just doesn't seem right. Any feedback is helpful.

Yep, three different styles. Depending on the width and the offset, it can have three different levels of concavity. Enkei calls it a front, middle, or rear face. Rear being the most concave.

Here's Enkei's size chart detailing which size has what face.

Anyone having these issues? been thinking of getting these wheels but that scares me!

Got a couple on the rim edge due to install and alignment. Nothing significant but yeah seems like the coating peels quite easily. Getting the silver ones may not be a bad idea.

Really enjoy these wheels on the twins.

Pablitomarrero · 11-26-2014, 10:11 AM

yes, my left front has a few dings. Probably due to rocks

Mikeez · 12-09-2014, 01:44 AM

Any clearance issues with the front?

FRSTRM · 02-06-2015, 09:07 AM

I need these in my life. For free...

Love this wheel!

TilesMeague · 02-06-2015, 07:16 PM

I've still got the red stickers lying around, sometimes I think about throwing them on. I think they're kinda cool. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Bluetail · 02-07-2015, 04:10 AM
