New Race Wheels esta aqui Enkei NT03+M
My new race wheels for this season just came in. They were fairly inexpensive. Got them from Discount Tire.
They are not as light (about 20 pounds/wheel) as the RPF1's, but it seems everyone these days is running those.
They are 17x9 1/2, with a 32mm offset (no spacers needed!). I will probably run
A048s' or the new Yokohama slick if it is out in time.
I really like the hyper silver on these wheels, although the center caps are just straight silver which doesn't match at all, but who runs center caps on the track, right?
They also have two valve stem holes, which will allow for a normal valve stem, then a pressure regulating stem that will bleed excess pressure when the tires warm up. No more checking pressures after run groups (although i probably will anyway, lol).

How do they help with nitrogen? Haven't used it yet.
They were about $230 a wheel. Got them from Discount Tire, they just ordered them up.
This specific offset isn't carried by Enkei North America so they were ordered direct from Japan.

I am curious if you have tried them on the car yet? I am looking to ditch my 18's that I use for street duty and have watched these wheels for sometime. They do in fact clear the calipers without spacers? How close is the spoke, and do these suffer from spoke deformation like the RPF1 were reputed to? Thanks. Sexy wheels though for sure.

Yeah, i wish they would have an inverted dish like the 18's seem to have. I wanted to run 17's on the track though, for a little more tire selection.
I know a guy that runs the 18's with the inverted dish and they look hot, but he has to run spacers also, which i didnt want to have to deal with. There's enough crap to do to setup the car at the track already.
I will put them on in the next day or so, and i will take some pics and check clearances.
