sk_leb Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I am looking for some options. I am looking at these: http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rims/17_inch-enkei-ekm3-gunmetal%20gloss.html Do you think they would look good with QSM? Are they high quality rims? This would be my first wheel purchase so I definitely am not familiar with the brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk6933 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have these wheels. They look great, but a pain to wash them. Enkei has been around for a while, and they make rims for infiniti, mitsubishi, lexus, etc. They are good rims in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowNaza86 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I think they're cheaper on Tirerack.com. Check them out. Enkei wheels have a great history/reputation and make great wheels. EKM3's are a tad heavy for a 17x7.5, but still look great and function very well. I was going to get these until I found my Prodrive GT1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Talk to the guys at Fred Beans Parts... they sell Enkei at awesome prices. I just got a set of PF01s from them. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farberio Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have these for my winter wheels, my only complaint is that I wish the gunmetal was a lighter shade. As far as the rim goes they work like rims and keep my tires inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have these for my winter wheels, my only complaint is that I wish the gunmetal was a lighter shade. As far as the rim goes they work like rims and keep my tires inflated. Me too. I got a 17" for my spec b. They actually pretty much match the paint color when clean. Decent wheel for the price. I believe they were around $140ea at tirerack a few months ago. Definitely a bitch to clean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even try to keep them clean so I can't say anything about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a run of bronze colored ones I have been searching my butt off looking for 17" bronze wheels all I can find are the silver or gunmetal paint.

sk_leb Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks everyone - good to know that they're a good brand. I am just debating that color with the color of my car (QSM). I will have to photoshop them on and see how they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy360 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I've been running these for the last year now. Definitely a good quality wheel for the price. As jason mentioned though they are a pain to get clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk6933 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 What tires did you decide to run with them? I run these with 225/40-18. If I can go wider, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
