*Special thanks to my wife for unpacking them since I'm just out of the hospital.
I heard a big thud at the front door and Enkei came!
I don't think the center caps fit in the front, but we can try, I like the look without the caps on. They gave me jelly decals to go over the Enkei logos if I want. They are really nice, great to touch!

I like. They're kind of like Minilites with more open webs.

They are similar, they are like Watanabes with a bit more point on the spokes. I guess Minilites are a lot like Watanabes, I have to see.

I was about to ask what car they were going on until I read your username and looked at the jelly stickers.
Should look pretty good!

Those are great! Going to look killer on your Z. What size are they?

They are 15x7 because if I went to 8 there are some rubbing issues in the front. I suppose I could have gone 8 in the rear but then rotation becomes more wasteful with the tires. The 14s will come off with the bigger tires and the bigger rims with the smaller side wall tires should keep the ride height the same-ish the said. My car is a bit lower than stock.

I want these for my miata but they are super heavy!

They are spec E rated, 20% over standard, I'm not going to race, just classic rallies that can get onto dirt so I feel a bit better with super high safety and strength rating. They are 3lbs more than the Rotas I looked at but they look so much better :P

Yeah should be exactly like the Speedhunters pic, I have the same car. I am looking at some Toyo tires, can't wait to get them on.

my car came stock with enkei wheels and they are no lightweights at 14.5lbs each the sport compe 15x7 would be 16.3 lbs. On a light miata that is a ton of unsprung weight to throw on each corner. especially when there are wheels in 15x8 that can be had for the same price but weigh 11 lbs. It pains me those are heavy because they are amazing looking wheels.

I can't drive for a little bit, I had surgery so I'm drugged up and the clutch is an issue. Might be able to drive an auto in a week.

ouch, get well! It'll make it all the more special when you do get to drive it again.

Yeah, my right front original rim is out of round so the first trip will be to the wheel shop for rubber and mounting these babies.
