Enkei Kojin

[Nero Tenebre]

Anybody know the weights? Are they as light as rpf1?

 

[Moses]

Definitely not as light. Probably around 19 lbs for 17x8.

two weeks and they should be in stock

 

[BATMANs]

I just spoke with Enkei rep (Randy) and they said that the "Tuner" line of wheels are made in Thailand where the "Racing" line of wheels are made in Japan.

Kojin is from the Tuner line

RP03 is from the Racing line.

No info on the Kojin weights since they haven't even received them in the states (according to the Enkei rep)

I just tried to order mine and they told me that the 18x9.5 wont be in the States from Enkei Japan until mid to end April. Can anyone confirm this?

[Speedy93]

so does anyone know if these will clear a bbk

 

[Nero Tenebre]

Highly likely they will due to spoke design and lack of lip. BBK may actually be better for the concave wheels like the rear as it places the caliper further out where there is more room.

I hope this rim marks the beginning of a new era of wheels. I do not see how there are not more 5,6, or 7 spoke rims that have the kind of concavity that this wheel invokes.

 

[NYCNSX]

^ Agreed! I found a another brand of wheels called Miro that make a TE-37 knock off. They have rear sizes that fit the NSX perfectly, but nothing for up front unfortunately. I sent them an email asking if they would come out with a 17" for up front and was told no http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIRO-398-18...Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f22e4de16&vxp=mtr

[NYCNSX]

Anyone get these Enkei's mounted up yet?

 

[06_typeS]

What are you guys running for lug nuts?

 

[R13]

In for legit weights. I'd consider these to run 17" all around for track duty. 18" rear tires are a retarded premium vs. the same width 17".

 

[Spooler]

Here's a look from the side.

I'm personally not that crazy about them preferring a more sculpted spoke but they could look cool.

note: ceramic discs :biggrin:

 

[thatcarguy]

Nevermind.. There was a misunderstanding. $865 is group buy price. Anyone down?

+1 for me

He got his wheels and they are mounted. He just dropped his car too. Let me see if he minds me posting the pics he texted me...

And so it begins...

No $hit, was checking out the XXRs last night. So cheap, they are practically disposable. And they look great.
