Hey everyone! I just passed two years of enjoying this great car and felt like getting some new wheels for a new look. I went with the new Enkei GTC-01 which is not as popular as a lot of Enkei wheels but felt with the right offset they would look great. Thanks for looking, Enjoy!

Wheel Sizes:
Front: 18x8.5 +40 (was +35 but milled 5mm off the backpad)
Rear: 19x10 +25 (was +22 but milled 3mm off the backpad)

I simply love how you kept your car so simple, specially with the little touches of blacking out the sidemarkers and turn signals.

I would have to agree that the wheels can look ugly, but I think you pulled it off perfectly. I like your style bud, even with your old Enkeis too. Great job!

Looking good! What size tires are those in the rear?
 
The GTC01 is a beautiful wheel in person, lots of detail. I would get a set too if I was REALLY crazy.
 
damn! you've got some real good taste in wheels. i like how you kept it Enkei when you could've gotten volks, advans, works, or any other wheels. such rare wheels on a car that i have not seen before. good job and keep up the good work. how's your front lip holding up?
 
I have always liked Enkei wheels and this one in particular always caught my eye but for a black car I would have liked a darker finish.

Are these Hyper Black or Silver ?

Thanks, yes I was very nervous about ordering these due to what they look like on other cars. I am very happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks, for the front I went with a 225/35/18 and the rear is a 275/30/19

I love Enkei's Racing wheels, some of the best wheels for the money imo. Though I have owned all the brands you have listed and are amazing brands I think Enkei offers just as much for a lower price. Thanks for the kind words! The front lip is cracked in about 5 places, but thats something I plan on fixing very soon. Im sure it will get damaged the first time I pull into my drive way.

I do agree with you, I really wanted to powder coat these black but changed my mind once I saw the color in person. They look great in person on the black. Yes, the color of this wheel is Hyper Black.

Simply awesome !! :smile: Jay

Thanks Jay!!!

get ready for having a shitload of stonechips on the sides of your car with these wheels sticking so far out of the wheelwells.
 
Nice lookin' wheels! I was thinking about buying a set of those too and "upgrading" from my Enkei Evo6's as they are very similar.

I love the finish of "Hyper Black". Here's some pics of my wheels so people can get an idea of what the beautiful finish looks like close up....
