CTSubiefan Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a set of 18x7.5 +48's to replace my stockers. I'll finish them with Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas (225/40) for my summer setup. Does anybody have 1st hand experience on these? These would be daily drivers, not track wheels - so I don't want to drop $700+ p/wheel, but I am going to push them a little and will have to deal with New England potholes, so I'm a little scared by some of the Rota horror stories on here (though the new Gravels, look nice). I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.sane Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I havent seen anybody with them, but I'd rock them if I were you. A lot of people have the O.Z. Ultraleggera, but the spokes are too thin IMO for our car. The GTC01 looks similar, but with beefier spokes so it matches the Legacy better, and the hyper black is so sexy. And as far as I know, I've never heard of Enkei horror stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choppedair Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hmm... http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee317/rae129/Pic3.jpg They look okay to me! What price are you finding them for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTSubiefan Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 $289x4 at Tire Rack. Nobody else seems to have them for less than $350 p/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexnebula Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've got a set of 18x8 Enkei GTC-01's on my RBP 05 Legacy GT. If I wash the car and wheels this weekend I'll get a picture for you. They've held up to the New England potholes so far (drive 70 miles round trip to Watertown each day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nx2000 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 ^^Definitely post up some pics!!! I'd love to see how they compare to the pics of the WRX above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are in my short list and I'm looking to place an order this week. Are they +37 offset? What size tyres are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they +37 offset? What size tyres are you running? If you don't mind a dirty car and dirty wheels I'll get pictures after work today and post them up. They are +48 offset, and I'm running 225/40 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric's on them. No rubbing when I had stock suspension, and no rubbing now that I'm lowered on RCE Tarmac 1's.

NZGT Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks very much, it's a super nice looking rim. I think I'm going to go for the 37+ (38+?) offset to push them further out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
