Help! Wheels not clearing caliper
Slightly better photos below. This is after applying sealant (Zaino AIO) to the wheels and the rest of the car before moving north. Notes:
1. Yes, the car would look better dropped; and
2. No, I wouldn't want wider wheels for winter tires. These are 18x8. Stock for the staggered fitment is 18x7.5 front, and 18x8.5 rear. TR apparently split the different when they were figuring out sizing for these. Tires are 225/50/18, same as stock fronts.

glad you did not get spacers, and insisted on proper fitting wheels. Smaller spacers are non-hub centric. Impossible to balance the wheels. Good change for wobbly ride.
Looks good but DROP EM

Why are these Enkei "Racing" line wheels so much more expensive than lets say the "Performance" line? Tire Rack seems to list they are produced with the same gravity cast technology and several of the performance line wheels of the same or similar size are actually lighter and much cheaper.

**UPDATE**
I've decided to sell these wheels with the tires on them. They've been great, but are much too nice for winter driving. They are 18x8.5 Enkei Racing PF01 Bright Silver Paint with 225/50R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires. The tires are amazing in the rain.
They have less than 1,500 miles on them, and appear new. They were cleaned twice/week, including the barrels. There is ZERO corrosion on any of them, and the manufacturer's stickers are even still on the barrels. Two have minor curb rash on the lip due to DBW (driving by wife). I received an estimate for the minor repair ($120 for both), which is reflected in the price.
I bought this package in December of 2010 for more than $2,000. My loss is your gain: Price: $1,350 FIRM, plus shipping, including the tires, lugs, etc - you get it all.
