Those are Enkei Kapone wheels.
At thewheelconnection.com they're $332 a piece.

Default Not too big on stretch...

Looking at fitting an extra set of wheels that I'm working on polishing up. The wheels are 19x10 +32 and 19x11 +35. I've already got a brand new set of Hankook's ready for another set of wheels that are 245/35 and 275/30. What do you guys think? Will those tires work with the wheels I'm working on? I'm pretty sure the fronts will be fine, just wondering a about the backs? Fronts are already rolled flat and so are the rears. Previous owner of the car rolled the rears flat, rather than shaving. Car will be lowered right above the tire with just natural camber. Possible? If not, I have a spare set of 255/35's but I want to get as much meat back there as possible

You'll be fine. I'm running a 20x11 et30 with a 275/30 and it fits fine without rubbing... lowered on coilovers.

Im considering running 20's on mine as well. In your opinion, whats the biggest tires I could stuff in the front and back running 20's without any fender modification? Im running Tanabe DF210's which are abouit 1.9" drop all around.

Thanks!

hey im trying to get into the gs game im coming from the 240 scene and i need some help. i currently have wheels on my s14 and wondering if i could get the wheels to fit on a gs300. they're 18x11 -50 and 18x12 -81. i know it would take a crazy amount of body work and camber which i don't mind, i pretty sure the babybeargang has the same specs on theirs. just wondering if anyone else has done something close or should i just go a simpler set up. id like to go on air and all the arms..

I'm not saying you can't do it. There is nothing to elaborate if your mind is set to do it. Get some air, dial up 10 degrees of camber, run some 255/35's, make some 75mm overfenders/flares and let us know how it turns out. Not trying to be rude but I don't elaborate because most people with wild plans don't follow through with them.

Can't wait to see you go 3 inches further out then this dude. When is the car going to be ready?
