whealy

Thought I would post some pics of my new wheels and tires. These are Enkei NT03-M Hyper Black 18 x 7.5. I know a lot of us have gone with 8 inch wheels or better. I really liked these wheels although I would have liked them darker, but 7.5 inch was the largest they make. I also went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires in a 225x45x18. Again, not the most aggressive tire to put on but the all season rubber should match the non-lowered height. Anyway I struggled to find some pics of the Hyper Black so I thought I would post these on my RG.

First – Thanks!

Ya know I looked at every wheel I could find and waffled on which to choose constantly (I used to think I was indecisive but now I’m not so sure …). I wanted something a step off black in color, but really couldn’t find a wheel that I liked. So as I stated to narrow it down, I decided to stick with the 225 tire. That’s what really lead me to the 7.5 wheel. However, in the chart from the Enkei I found (attached) I shouldn’t have been able to get the Hyper Black in anything but 17 inch. Tire Rack had listed the 18 x 7.5. When I looked around for anything bigger (wheelfire.com, etc) the larger sizes were all F1 Silver. So you may be right that the Hyper Black may come in larger sizes and I shouldn’t have posted my info in a way that might confuse somebody else whos looking without knowing for sure. For me when I settled on the 225, I stopped looking.

BTW – While I found the wheels at Tire Rack, I went with Discount Tire to do the install. They broke down my previous wheels for me and used the rebuild kit to reuse my TPMS sensors. Those guys paid incredible attention to detail and matched Tire Rack’s prices. They did an awesome job for me.

7.5 sounds right for 225.. not saying its bad, i used to run 225 on 7.5 on my old car
the side wall looked much better compared to 225 on 8.5 =P
