You can't go wrong with either one of the Enkei's Mike, nice and light.

On a site note just got my new tires and TPMS sensors. I still hate the fact we can only have one set paired at a time.

Are the stock TPMS not transferrable on these wheels? You bought some aftermarket TMPS? Did you go with the V12's?

I purchased a second set of OEM sensors. I did not think it was worth it to pull off mine from my winter setup to use on my summers even though I know it would have saved some $$.

I did decide to go with the V12's for tires. They just seem very hard to beat when it comes to price and performance. Now only waiting on the Project Kics lugs/locks and mounting here I come.

You went with 245/35/19's around? How much did you pay for the V12's? Best I've been quoted so far is 175 per tire with mounting and balancing from a local shop.

I am going with 245/35/19's for extra clearance. I don't wanna go with 245/40 and have rubbing issues. I've talked to few of the fitment guru's around the forum and they all advised me to go with 245/35 with these offsets. For the TPMS, I am just going to transfer my stock to these Prodrives.

I went with the 245/35 for the tires as well. I wanted to be sure that there was plenty of clearance especially since the really aggressive setup of my old Z wheels. I picked up the tires for $179 each with a mail-in rebate of $50 from tire rack. I will still need to have them mounted and balanced from my local shop.

Mike, I thought about going the AM route with the sensors but I just decided to go OEM. However those are a pretty cheap pickup for some added information over stock.

I just put the new wheels on today. I did not get a chance to snap any pictures because I was going right to work... in fact I had to skip my revised alignment as well because I was getting down on time.

Once I get her all cleaned up I will snap some pictures. I have to say I love the fitment of the wheels and they look very nice with the PG color.

Perfect fitment just by looking at that angle, and it looks great! The lack of a lip makes it look like 20's.

I am fairly sure that they do not fit on the X.

I think it falls into the same reason why the same coilovers do not work on the RWD and AWD models.
