New wheels (Enkei GTC01)

So after months of research I finally bought a new set of wheels for my IS. They are Enkei GTC01 and sizes are 18x8 +48 front and 18x8.5 +35 rear.

Now I just need the tire pressure sensors. Anyone of you have a set laying around?

I really think that 18" is a perfect size for the IS and I'm not adding any extra weight by going larger. I'm saving 5 lbs per wheel with this setup so I'm pretty happy with that.

PS. Well, at least the rear offset is more aggresive

The 2 valve stems are for racing applications where you have the air connected to one and the pressure gauge connected to the 2nd...so you can inflate to the EXACT PSI more easily. Sweet rims...I am planning on those in 19s....

Nice!!

My friend has these on his 350z and it looks really sharp. Can't wait to see them on your IS!

ps. I totally agree with you on sticking with the 18s. I went aftermarket and stuck with 18s also. I don't need the extra weight and I saved a whole lotta $$$ on tires.
