man that really sux... Im honestly gonna roll with the scratch in mine (not really visible unless close) until I figure out what I wanna do cuz I've been waiting way too long for 'em

 

Dam that sucks.
Did it bend your rim Jasper?

I'm also nervous about where to take my tires to get mounted. Im afraid that they might get scratched too.

 

that sucks man.. there's a bit of mishandling that could happen on the way, ups dropped my motor and broked the crankcase but still denied the claim lol.. thats why i was a lil anxious opening the box, luckily everything was flawless.

 

I know how you feel. It's really hard for me to just sit here waiting for a new wheel. I want to mount them now, but I honestly don't think it's a good idea. Now I have to wait 45 days for another wheel. Plus the time I've already waited for these wheels. And Dezod/Enkei already has my money. I understand that it's not their fault, but the fault of UPS. I'm extremely upset and disappointed at this point. I don't know what do to.

It just has a little bend in the lip.

 

a bend I wouldnt trust... in my case its just a scratch which to be honest Im probably gonna do in the near future either from curb or fender anyway. And at least ur getting urs replaced!!! thats a good thing. Hang in there.

 

^ It's not a huge bend, it's like 1/4" bend or dent. It'll hold air and do just fine. But Dezod has been very helpful. Thank god for that.

 

if your worried about tire shops messing up the wheels during mounting take them somewhere that does reverse mounting.

 

Nice looking wheel!

 

Unfortunately, once the wheel(s) leave our doorstep or Enkei, it is beyond our control for how the boxes are handled. That duty is entirely UPS's fault Jasper and I apologize for the delay, but you will get your replacement per our conversation. It's just a matter of time.

 

^ Thanks for taking care of things. I'm happy with our agreement.

 

just to let u guys with the 18's know, with a bbk you WILL need spacers. I picked up a set of 8mm's and now I have the problem shown below. The nto1's are a raod race tire which equals stiff as hell side wall so they dont strech well at all...

 

^ what kind of bbk you have? mine fits with the wilwoods fine, though im using a 5mm spacer right now theres plenty of clearance from the calipers even without the spacer. Oh yeah my dunlop starspecs barely stretch due to stiff sidewall!

 

i have the rotora bbk...

 

i guess rotora has a thicker caliper or maybe have a different offset compared to the wilwood, i swear i could still stick my lil finger between the brake and wheel

 

even with my 8mm spacers I cant stick my finger through there. there is like 1/8 inch room btwn there now!

 

Heres a pik I jus took to show the clearance

 

wow thats tight lol.. i have more clearance on my wilwood even without the spacer, im taking out the spacer like next week.. ill get some pics

 

yeah, thats crazy

 

The only way expensive wheels whould be mounted IMO.

 

uh oh, we might not see these wheels for a while longer because Enkei is obviously in Japan.
