My Enkei RS05RR are here!

mugen_kid · 4 November 2013

I ordered these about two months ago and have been patiently waiting. Today they came in at work and decided to get some pictures ASAP. I'm excited to see them on the car. The fronts are getting the PCD drilled to a 5x114, offset changing from a +35 to a +40, and then change the center bore. Specs bellow!

Wheel specs:

I'm curious on how an 18 all around is going to look. Nice wheels though. How come you aren't going with the 17/18 combo?

mugen_kid · 4 November 2013

Enkei only has these available in 18" at the moment. They will be releasing 19" soon so this is the reason for going 18/18 for now. Just really testing it out. I love the wheels so much I couldn't pass it up. Something different.

Do you know if they're making a 17"? This would be good for a 17" front option for the NSX IMO with that spoke design.
Anyway, can't wait to see them on your car!

Oh, BTW, what's the weight of them??

racer9x · 4 November 2013

Awesome wheels:smile:

Color combo on your silver is going to look so sick! Great size too.

I sure hope they release a 17" at some point, that would be my direction. Im heading to SEMA tomorrow for the week and will ask Enkei when I see them about more fitment. As for the weight they are 19 pounds front and 20 pounds in the rear.

Thanks, I agree I think the color combo should look real good!

18s all around is the way to go IMO. Or at least 17/18. I think 19 is too large for the rear. With the right tire size and drop the 18 all around looks great. People just don't know how to do it here.

Can't wait to see pics !

RedWings · 5 November 2013

Saw these in person today... REAL nice and real light too

Nice choice MK

What is the current PCD on these? Are you going to be essentially turning them into a dual lug pattern wheel? I'd be interested to know if they shipped them without any holes drilled, or maybe they're cast that way so it isn't an option?

Either way, I think they'll look amazing on the car. I'm excited to see it! I think if they offered a 17" for the front, it would be dialed perfectly. 18/18 can look good too, but IMO the staggered diameter is part of the NSX "look".

The normal PCD was 5x112, I just opened it up a tad to a 5x114. I was at SEMA and Enkei said there will not be offering any 17". I really wish that they offered a 17". I like the look of the wheels now but feel the 18" up front can look a little big compared to the rear. I plan on getting it lowered a little more. A front lip, side skirts, and rear valance will help offset the 18/18 look a little better I think. They look amazing in person! I haven't had time to get out with the camera yet but heres a couple from my phone.

The rear wheel hit the caliper and went with a 5mm spacer, making it a 18x10.5 +30 in the rear.

Tire size: Love this tire!!
Front: Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 215/35/18

Not bad at all!

Nice looking wheels. I like it!

Niiiice!

JoseJA1979 · 11 November 2013

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta are a great tire for the price. They look great, handle well and are quiet. They also just came out with a new line called the ultrac vorti that's suppose to be even better:

Looks great! Love em on the car!

dablackgoku1234 · 11 November 2013

Hard to tell from the angle, but are the fronts hella flush?

This tire is very good for the price point you mentioned. I really would go with the new Vorti since we stock them at work but there is no size for the fronts unfortunately.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes the fronts are hanging just about the same as the rear (maybe a little less) but with the stretched tire in the front its hard to tell. Once I get the car lowered more the front will be flush with the fender. I use to run this exact setup in the front and liked the look a lot.

4cruizn · 11 November 2013

Sooooo clean. Perfectly executed. Props for trying a new wheel design that nobody's ever done. Can't wait for our next round of pics.

myw · 11 November 2013

the rear concavity looks awesome. they didnt make the rears in 19s??

As of now there is only 18" offered in this wheel. 19" and 20" might be coming but not 100% guaranteed. I would love a 17" for the front.

Hawt! center caps looks great too.

My Enkei RS05RR are here!
