I like them, it seems that most people on this forum have the same taste in wheels. Here is a pic of the Enkei l-sr which are very similar. Plus many people on this forum are wheels snobs. Unless you are actually racing, volks and the equivalent are not really necessary.

Would you disagree? It's fine if you want only the finest of something, but also realize that only the finest isn't necessary. Many people can be perfectly happy with average. And with wheels, as long as they look good, and will not fall apart, go for it. Unless you really need the super light and super strong attributes that 3pc forged wheels have (like if you are racing). Please let me know how your opinion differs, or if you just responded with a gut reaction because I said "wheel snobs".

The Enkei l-sr does have a staggered lip setup. The offset is kinda week, so I would run 25mm spacers with them. With the spacers, I think they would look good, and be unique on the G.

I'm running these Enkei's with RE960s. I payed 1800 rims and tires with a little shopping around. They look good with the Brembos and no spacers are nessesary with the right offsets.

if you put spacers in such as a 25mm one.. i heard that spacers could cause vibration, as well as it will wear out your bearings much quicker..

are these facts true? i mean will spacers ruin anything about the car .. i mean as long as i get high quality spacers is there virtually no problems that i will run into or what?

I've been running the Eibach Pro Spacers in 25mm on my OEM 19's for a while now with no problems at all.

when you stated that unless you are racing then volks/works are not necessary and added that people are wheel snobs for having volks/works that do not race it just shows how little you know about a subjective topic. If the people have the money they will do what they want. It is ok to have different opinions but to call people wheel snobs just because they have the luxury and the will to put expensive wheels on their car is going over the line. Just because you can't afford them does not mean you have to put down others who can

First of all, you do not know what I can and cannot afford, so it shows your ignorance making such a statment. I called many of the forum members wheels snobs in a half joking way. I was mainly responding to the negativity that is often hurled at lower priced wheels. I have NO PROBLEM with anyone doing whatever they want with their wheels. If you want to buy expensive wheels have a great time and enjoy them to the fullest!

However, from a technical point of view, it is not necessary to purchase super high quality forged wheels. You can drive daily just fine on cast wheels. In that case people should not be discouraged to purchase less expensive wheels unless they are going to be using them in high-performance situations. Would you disagree with that?

I have made no comment saying that people shouldn't buy expensive wheels. I just think that it's also OK to buy less expensive one's too.

I am FI, but I do not throw negative comments to people who install a CAI. It's all about what your goals are. It just seems that on this forum many people get negativity when asking about wheels like the Enkei's or Konigs.
