Enkei OR52... will be delivered to my house 9/23



that is all

 

congrats on the new wheels, they should look really nice. plus since you already have a nice drop theres no need to worry about the dreded 4x4 look. also props to you for being original and not going with the standard evos. so what made you get these Enkei's over any other wheel?

 

Can't just tease us like that. Make sure you post some pics on 9/24?

 

Thanks... my first choice were 18" ADR Fuel's.. but they only came in bronze... this was my 2nd choice... and pics will definitely be up either on 9/24 or 9/25

 

are you selling your stocks?

 

haven't decided yet

 

Oh yeah, I ordered some rims and tires off eBay. I only have gotten 2 of them, the other pair is lost. Screw UPS, but for only messing up my item order, otherwise, they're a good parcel service I guess.

What size did you get them in? Those wheels look great.

 

congrats man...what kinda tires?

 

17x7"... with 225/45R17 Kumho ECSTA Supra 712

 

Congrats on the wheels. Must post pics though. Im sure they will look really nice. I say keep the stock wheels and use them for the winter cause the clear coat and the winter/salt do not like each other.

 

Cool wheels, dude.
I can't wait to see them on your Sterling Mist Beauty!

 

So when you get rid of the car, I want the rims

 

how much u pay for wheels/tires?

 

isint 225/45/17 a smaller diameter than spec? I believe 235/45/17 is a near exact match to stock size, theres just the issue of running a 235 tire on a 7in. wide wheel, which some people say will cause problems, but Ive been running it for a long time with no problems along with many others on this board.

 

Ricer.............

 

Congrats...Time for a new mod now

 

The Ricer without is Rice now.


Nice looking wheels Justin. You might want to go with the wider tire though. Im waiting for pics or when I come out to WG Ill see it.

 

Thanks everyone for the comments...well, except bijan.. heh.. the total price was 951.00 shipped from whalen tire to my door.. I saw the wheels in person at Nopi at the kauffman tire vendor display, and they look great... I may change tires at some point, but for now I will stick with what I got seeing as my roommate has the exact same tires on his ADR 17"s and they have no problems... My car is almost always out here at UWG, I rarely go back home to Newnan... pics will be up as soon as I get the wheels installed.. or I may just wait until I get all my new toys installed.... fiber images CF hood, enkei wheels, and McCullough 6000K HIDs

 

damn you people with JOBS!

 

I don't think you can run a 235 tire on a skinnyass rim like that.

 

isnt 215 stock tire width? Mine are.

how much were those rims?

 

my car came with 245s on sawblades???? wtf are there any bad repurcussions? should I swap them out soon?

niiiice wheels man i myself have always wondered how the shoguns would look on a maxima. too bad they're no more

 

Stock size on the OEM 5th gen 17x7 wheels is 225/50/17, and there are many guys that run 235/45/17 so you should be fine at 225/45/17.
Wheels look great. Good choice

 

umm... ive found them in silver before they used to be my wheel of choice...

 

the spokes are a bit too thin for my liking, but indeed very nice though

 

I'm running 235/45/ on my 17x7's with no problem. Many people have done it. Its the correct size to match up to OEM.

That is the biggest size you can go and its actually better if your somewhere with alot of potholes. The extra width helps to protect your rim from jumping the tire and getting bent... didnt save me hitting a pothole at 60mph but other than that its the only real benefit. Wider doesnt always mean stickier.
