Today I just ordered some Enkei Evo 5s 18" w/225/40/18 Toyo Proxes. I picked the bronze ones b/c I wanted my tC to be different. They should be comming by Friday. I've been waiting 13 months for rims. :love:

:clap: enjoy them!

bronze rims on silver tC!!....i was thinking of doing that but didn't have the balls. post some pix up and change my mind! i can still repaint mine, haha.

One of my favorite wheels. Great choice, I look forward to pictures!

Good rims...not my color style on a CSM tC. But as long as you like them that's all that matters. :P

those are sexy.. how much do they weigh? i looked at a bunch of sites but couldnt find it

NICE Choice i just Put them on my TC last week i also got 18s but i got hyper silver looks real good on FM, but only thing i don't like is the tire size i got 225/40/18 too and kinda wish i would of got 35 my TC don't look so low to the ground any more! ill get some pictures tonight!

As soon as I get em I'm putting them on, and will be taking pics. If anyones wondering they were $1200 through a scion dealer. That's shipped, mounted, and balanced.

some pics i promised not trying to tread jack! just though i let you see them before you get yours haha!

From angles like that the tread size (40) don't look to bad but from the side it looks kinda think!

Damn those look good! Now I really can't wait to get mine. Oh and the weight of the wheel is 20lbs.

35 instead of 40? & how wide is yr rim?


Im getting 18x8 with 225/40/18

im not threadjacking either! but ill post some pics of mines later on when i get the chance to take pics. i got the evo 5's in 18x7.5 5x100 45+
with 225/40/18 when those tires wear out i wanna try 225/35/18
and im lowered on eibach pro-kit

yea I am going to do the same thing after my 40 wear out I am going to try 35 as well I am lowered on TRD struts with Tein H-tech and and i use to be lower to ground on stock 17s with 45 tire so with 18s i think i need to take it down to 35 to get that look i want might make the ride little stiffer but should not be to bad.

So I call the dealer on Fri. and ask if my rims had come in yet. Well my luck being crappy as always he tells me there were only three(wheels) in the U.S. in that size and color,and it would be 6-8 days before they would get another. Then it would be another 3-4 days for them to ship. :doh: . So they should be here about one day after I fly out to K.C. for a week. See I told ya Crappy luck!

Sweet!
I just got mine on friday the 2nd. I like them but they made my car higher. So now im waiting for the jp lipkit. But so far alot of people like them. Just make sure that you buy new and thiner wheelnuts. cuz they dont use normal ones. post pics when you get em.

i'm gonna be ordering some enkei's soon as well. i'm thinking the rs7. what offset did you go with?

thanks

Looks great! one question... why didn't you go w/ 245s?

vvtiTc06 did your rims come with the Enkei valve stems and caps? Yes I'm going to get new lugs. The sales Mgr at the dealership is getting me locks for all the lugs.

well i believe i did but not for sure had local shop hook me up! and when i got there it had chrome stems and caps on it look good but never really payed attention. and i got lock nuts all the way around as well!

Looks great! one question... why didn't you go w/ 245s?

Don't think 245's will fit on a 7.5 wide rim. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you look on 1010tires.com it shows minimum of 8.0 for the 245's. If anyone has tried and been successful with 245's on 7.5 rim, please post for us.

245's are overkill.

look at most, if not all FWD road race cars, they are all running 235's for a reason.

Looks hawt, I was leaning toward Axis Hiro or TSW Thruxtons, but may have to re-consider the EVO5's. I just hate how they put the 10 lug holes, when we need just 5, maybe I'm nitpicking, but it drives me nuts. They do look great though, are those the gunmetal/anthracite color ones??

well all the websites call it Hyper Black, but enkei calls it Hyper Silver when you order straight from them. I like the color a lot it goes good on the FM Tc, in some light it looks like FM with out all the sparkle! other time just looks like a steel color

Mine are 225/40/18.

nice rims. i'm considering getting these for my rs3...

Well my trip was cancelled so it looks like I'll be here when my wheels come inafter all! :D

So here it is ol St. Pats day and I still don't have my damn rims. I'm getting slightly ____ed since I ordered them on Feb 26th. They said they will be in on Mon but I've already heard that before. :tap:

Well it's about damn time. Could someone help a brother out and tell me how the hell you can move pics from your profile to a post :pray: Please

Go to photobucket.com (http://photobucket.com/) and set up an account. Upload the pics from your computer to photobucket. Then 'cut/copy and paste' the "IMG Code" link into your 'Post a reply' box and you're all set.

I did. I kinda started a new topic Enkei's finally have come in. I posted pics under there.
