Enkei NT03+M Wheels

Inspiration:

Kurtis (k67p67)



My car





standard G35 offset, 18x9.5+27 18x10.5+30.

still waiting for the fourth wheel since it got damaged by UPS. I'm fortunate the box got mangled so I inspected it prior to the UPS guy leaving. I refused shipment and Josh at ImportImageRacing got his contact at Enkei to ship one out that same day.





next up...how am I gonna fit 4 huge tires and 4 wheels in my car to get them mount and balanced?

to be continued....

nice Vinh! Can't wait to mount em up for you. You can fit em in the car easy, Omar brought his 20" T1S's and tires for me to mount in his coupe, you can definitely do 18's.

Based on the offsets, I'm assuming this is a track set? What type/size tires do you plan to run?

There's nothing more amazing than that first pic of Kurtis's car. i can see how you were inspired. Are these for track?

it's daily use.

i was planning on getting some 19's or 20's, but with a house payment, I couldn't afford two sets of wheels. needed something I could take from the street and on to the track. i've been itching to get back to SOW.

planning on running the tires I had from my previous wheels, Michelin PS2, 265/35/18 and 295/35/18.

Can't beat Enkei's reputation and wheels that costs half as much and only weigh in around 1.5 lbs more than my RE30s.

Enkei's racing line is badass. Just a shame the NT03 doesn't come in better offsets, like the RPF1 and some of the others...

without any trunk space, I had to remove the passenger seat. Also removed the bottom of the rear seats so I don't scratch anything.





Have an appt with Grant on Friday. Should have pictures of the car later that day. To be continued...

wheels are mounted on the car. had to clean the air filter on the APS and replace a bulb and some other stuff as well. Car is 80% washed and waxed. Should have a picture later today.

thanks again to Grant for the great job and price on the mount/balance. very much appreciated.
