What do you guys think? 18x9.5 +44 5x120 Face-3 for the FK8

OMG these will go well with CBP!

I have those same wheels - just curious, why did you end up with these wheels? Really like the look?

How much was the powder coating? Looks slick.

Also, no center caps on purpose? Thawk makes ring adaptors so you can use your stock Honda caps, if you're so inclined.

I ended up with these because I got a crazy deal on them. I had NT03 +Ms on my Dc5 and loved them. I'm a huge fan of Enkei overall.

The powder coating cost me 360 for the set.

The center caps got lost in shipping so I haven't gotten around to replacing them. ($171 from what I've seen) I'd be open to running the stock caps though. The company is called thawk?

Haha, I picked mine up because they were a screaming deal too. Lightweight, quality, good rep and some sort of racing heritage. I tell myself that they're extra strong because of the reinforcing inner ring.

It's not a company, it's a user on this forum named "Thawk" - if you PM him, he'll 3D print a set of adaptors that will work with your Enkei's for a minimal fee.

Those look great, might I ask where you purchased them?

Avid.1 wheels are excellent winter rims! Hell I've ran them now for summer rims also. Michigan has some horrendous roads and I can't justify high end rims on daily drivers here. Thankfully the Avid.1 lineup has some beautiful rip off designs and they have lasted for everything I've throw at it or driven through. Their AV-06 rim is a rip off of the Volk TE37 and they have them in 18x8.5 ET 35/45 which is most likely the rim I will run. Plus a spare set for winters.

Did the wheels end up working out and if so, where didi you purchase them?

Tire rack, just checked their site, looks like they're not available now. Got them back in june.

from Rays IG
TE37SL 18x9.5 +38 in Flat Black on 265/35 tires

Found this on their IG page


Is this the same car? What suspension/tire brand setup do they have? Might want to pick these up or the TE37 saga time-attack next year. The saga time-attack with the TE37 red spoke decal would be PERFECT!

yes that is the same car.
It should be 18 x 9.5 +38 TE37SL with 265/35 RE71R on swift springs.

Had a customer do the same setup but tires are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (I think lol)

Want to keep stock height for now but have that option to lower in the future. Will 255-35 on TE37 saga timeattacks be the safe bit cause I dont see how 265-35 not rub once lowered/car under load.

Time Attack would be 18x9.5 +44, we've sold +45 a lot and most 265/35 tires work without any rubbing. Of course if you go with a track compound tire then that will probably rub, but most tires in that offset that the Time Attack is offered it should work no problems
