Hey guys.

I'm looking into getting a new set of rims, and curious of your all's opinion on Enkei in general, and the EKM3 rims in particular. This is my first foray into the aftermarket wheels world, so I'm a bit lost when it comes to reputable brands, etc.

Here are the wheels in question.

Thanks all.

Enkei makes good wheels. They are the OEM for many car manufacturers...

As far as that wheel, it is fine, should look good on your car, etc. You might do some more research into staggered fitments (rear wheels wider than fronts), and more aggressive fitments, before you jump into wheels... Also, its my opinion that a car with aftermarket wheels almost always needs to be lowered somewhat to make the wheels look right, even if the tires are sized right...

they look ok but i just love wheels with a deep dish.

Glad to hear they're a solid brand.

I was planning on lowering the car an inch or so. As for staggered fitments, the widest I can get that wheel is 8in, which isn't all that wider than stock. I think I'll just go 8 on front and back.

Yes, stock is 7" wide these are 8". If you want a stagger you could do 225/45R18 Front and 245/40R18 Rear or you could just use that 245 size front and rear. Their Hyper-Silver finish is the same as our Bright Satin finish and we do offer those wheels for a lower price. These wheels are tested to Enkei's Spec-E classification:

"All Enkei wheels are engineered to pass rigorous testing. In fact, Enkei established its own test standard called “Spec-E,” which is tougher than JWL requirements. Enkei’s Spec-E test setting requires a higher drop point in the impact test and 20% more cycles for the rotary bending fatigue and dynamic radial fatigue tests than JWL standards.The Spec-E represents Enkei’s confidence in its technology and quality of Enkei wheels."
