I couldn't find a set in the EU when I ordered mine.

Enkeis can be found here in Sweden but I havent seen Enkeis Racing Line (RPF1,RPF3 etc..) I know one company tries to get retailer status for them but its hard.

If I can find RPF1 black 17"x9" for a decent price I will get them, otherwise im going for Rota P45 GTR (I know they are cheap knockoffs but actually I have really good experinces with them and you won't cry a river if you brake one rim at track)

Don't buy rotas! Get a set of Oz wheels instead! It is not just about weight reduction.. the wheel qualities are very important too! Try the speedline turini, i like them!

Where did you ordered yours? tirerack?

Can you give me an adress to a good OZ dealer? I dont mind getting OZ if they are good priced.

And about Rota I have Rotas on my DD and had them erlier on my CTR, I have gived those rims hell and they dont break so actually I find them quite good for their price.

All rumors about bad quality at Rota is exaggerated.

I was not talking about their supposed weakness but there was a test posted here between different wheels (real vs knockoffs) and the gap was measured in seconds!

You can find good oz wheels on ebay.de , usually less than 900€\set for 18". I can ask you for some good magnesium Oz wheels that my mechanic uses for his race cars. 17x9 but they are a bit expensive!

Finding them is not a problem, the price is :)

I find that hard to belive, its mostly Volk etc owners that tries to convince them selfs that they haven't thrown their money in the sea ;)

If you don't mind asking I would be happy to get a price for some nice OZ wheels.

There's always a limit! Volk, Advan, BBS etc are good wheels but overpriced. Getting some Oz or Enkei wheels is a wonderful choice.
Are you sure that you want me to ask the price for the magnesium wheels? they should be well over 2000€\set!

ooh, thats too mutch. Im not a raceteam with factory backup you know ;)

Im looking for decent wheels with decent prices, if I buy too expensive wheels I would be freaked out about taking them out to trackdays.

Do you have adress to more human priced OZ? im not a fan of buying on ebay.

Well there's an italian ebay seller on ebay.it that has got good prices, 900\1000€ per set of 18x8 wheels or so. He is fine.
The magnesium wheels are awesome but are really expensive and not worth the cost if you don't have to win :)

Yeah I got mine at tirerack, they did not have black in 17x9 so I'm just going to paint mine.

Do you mind saying what you payed for them inc. shipping cost? I find it hard to see prices for rims at that site somehow.

The wheels are $250 a piece and I paid $1128.60 total with shipping. They should be here this coming week so I post pics when they come.

Have you looked into this thing?:

they make carbon fiber and frp versions, the second one is 340 euro shipped
I wonder if that panel/diffuser can give you any real gains in downforce/colling...

I'm actually making a front diffuser for bring air out of the engine bay in a vacuum effect.

I think that will be minimal gains from that one above.

Both setups will provide minimal gains, a vented hood with some useless engine ancillaries removal will probably the best solution, especially if in combo with an open front grille ;)

I'll post my setup tomorrow night after I get my car adjusted for the track this coming weekend

My current track set up for this weekend at the Nurburgring and tomorrow at Hockenheimring.

18x8 with 245/40-18 at 30psi to start off with
Bilstein PSS9's lowered 20mm front and 30mm back
Front Setting 2
Rear Setting 3

Alignment
Front Camber -1.4 degrees
Toe -1/8"
Rear Camber - 1.8 degrees
toe - 0

Im looking forward to an analyse of your thoughts about your setup after your super cool track weekend.

Have you tracked with PSS9 Before?

As it's friday I share some short clips of my car, in the first clip you see a corner that sets my car into understeer. It does look perfect on the clip but its strongly understeers...

Next trackday is next saturday, I will test different tire pressure bse50. =)

The Hockenheimring day was ok, I really don't like the track very much and there was way too many idiots driving on it.

The car was solid in the turns and I think the Bilsteins were just right for that track but a little too stiff for Nurburgring.


I changed the settings on the front to 5 and rear to 4. I was able to run the car 3 times on saturday morning and it did very well. I wasn't able to run anymore because my cat finally gave out.


This was the first time I tracked the Bilsteins. I liked them everything I heard about them was correct I even like them more than the HKS on the Skyline.
