Identify worse Enkei 18's?

[Dallen]

Guy is selling these on the local craigslist for $400 obo. They look brand new, but I can't find the model online anywhere...anyone got an idea?

If they are Enkei's, they're not a current production wheel. They don't match anything on Enkei's website. Also, I didn't know Enkei would dual drill their wheels.

Enkei center caps on something else

@Dallen

Those are Enkei Evo 6 wheels

Not wheels from an evo 6, just the name haha

Enkei use to dual drill wheels. I remember these. Pretty old.

Perfect thanks.

Not sure if they're worth picking up, he was asking $400/set but I haggled him down to $250 for all 4.

That's really cheap. I wonder what the offset is.

[deucethemoose]

I'm guessing in the +42 range.

250 for 4 is pretty good. I dont know what they used to retail for, but any wheels for under 75 a wheel(used) is pretty good, IMO.

Just to have wheels to thrash on/track/snow whatever is nice, if you have the room/budget for an extra set of wheels

I have stock right now so anything is better. 18's run okay with sportline drop springs right?

Not bad for $250, they look good. Maybe get them painted

[Roadcone]

for 250 they would make a nice end table or two even.

It's not the size of the wheel, it's the overall diameter of the tire. Sort of. For instance, the OEM tire is 24.6" OD. You can go to whatever tire width you want to, but you want to keep your OD somewhere around that 24.6 in order to not upset the traction control, speedo, etc... So you could get 225/40-18's at 25" even, or 245/35-18's at 24.7", or whatever.

The only caveat is that the sidewall of the tire helps absorb shocks. The sidewall of the OEM tire is 3.8" tall. A 245/35-18 has a sidewall height of 3.3". That's a half inch less on each side, for an inch less overall. That's less rubber absorbing shock before it gets transmitted to the suspension. This is why you'll see people saying that 18" wheels will ride a little rougher, just because they're 18's.
