With how long g35driver has been around, I'm surprised by the lack of love for Enkei wheels. I love Volk and Work wheels, but unfortunately they are out of my price range. We have threads for XXR and Varrstoen, but personally I rather pay a little more for Enkeis than buy replica wheels. But that's just me

I've broken it down to 2 options, but I am open to suggestions for any wheels that are under about $1,000-$1,100 a set. I know in the end that it is my decision, but just would like to see what everyone else's opinions are. Maybe there is a set of wheels that are good quality that I haven't come across in my price range that I might like better. But, the wheels I am looking at are Enkei NT03-M and Enkei Tenjin in gunmetal.

NT03-M



Tenjin




edit...
Car is Lakeshore Coupe btw

 

Just look for desperate sellers, man. Just picked these up for $900+ OEM trade.

 

Traded the OEM 19 Rays? I've been trying to stay patient and keep an eye out on craigslist, but my patience is definitely running short haha. Where'd you come across the seller for the trade?

 

Nope, traded stock 7-spokes. Haha

This was in Fullerton, CA. This is actually a good tactic: look for parts on CL in the rural and poorer areas around your house (you gotta be willing to drive and you gotta be hood enough to feel safe sometimes).

Anyhow, the idea being that some people in these neighborhoods own these things, but when they go up for sale, the rest of their community is in no position to rush and buy these parts. End result is that you pay attention to the parts that are for sale, you keep tabs, then when you see they are listed for awhile you offer a stupid low, cash price and at that point they just wanna get rid of the ****. I've gotten so many great parts (06 headlights, freshly painted sport bumper, lmgt4s) for hella cheap by just finding buyers who simply have no interest in storing parts any longer.

 

I have lakeshore slate as well
Trust me
Gunmetal on this color car is awful
Go with the brighter silver every time

 

Of those 2, the second one.
