Opinions please...Enkei PF01

18 x 9.5 (+15)
Hankook 245/40/18







No rolled fenders. So far no rubbing in back. Front barely rubs inner fender wells at full lock.
Wanted to get pretty flush but holy cr!*p.

Thx in advance for your input.

ps. - It's a daily driver - 80 miles a day and i'm in LA so......

Wheels look good, it's a nice design. The chrome finish is OK.

Bad choice to stretch the tires that much. You should have, at the very least, a 265 tire on there.

You should of used a wider tire for a 9.5 rim, I was using 275/35/18 on my 9.5 and didnt rub much in the back. I have Swift springs and only rubbed if someone was in the back.

Im not a fan of chrome, but the rims are nice.

U guys sure there chrome? They look silver to me...

Wheels look ok, not sure that I'm a huge fan of the PF01, maybe a little to simple of a design. I do agree you could use a 255 tire to help cover that wheel some.

Enjoy them.

Wheels look good. I like them and they are relatively light for the cost. Also, the wheels are not chrome, but silver.

Not Chrome

They are bright silver. I agree about the 255 tires but I am already rubbing inside the fender wells at full lock. Now i'm kicking myself in the *ss hoping I didn't waste all that money. My problem was that I love the stock BBS wheels. They are super light and look good imo but they are sunk too far into the wheel wells and I heard bad things about the Ichiba Spacers (motion ration changes) or I would have just gotten some 15mm spacers. Ugh.

I'm sooooo upset!

The more I look at this the more I like the stock BBS better. I still have them - could save these tires for when the stock tires wear out but then I'm still out the $ for these wheels.
I just wanna go to bed for a week.

Going back to stock BBS. Putting these on Craigslist. Damn what an idiot! Didn't want the mexi-flush look. Can't stand that it sticks out past the fenders. Even if it is only about a 1/4".

I totally agree with you, your OEM BBS looks way better

It's not even because of the so called "mexi-flush," the design of PF01 is just...well, really bland in my opinion.

I, too, have 18x9.5 +15, wrapped with 275/35, but I dont think it sticks out like your wheels.
