Woot! Finally get to join! I got some Enkei GTC01s a couple weeks ago. 19x8.5 +42 all around
I still have yet to take real photo of them on the 8 yet, but I will soon. For now here are the pics I do have.

Those look mean, what are they and how much? I'm looking to buy some rims myself, I'm very indecisive though. Would love to see them on your 8.

Thanks. They're GTC01s. I got them for about 480 each from vividracing.com.

And sorry guys, it might be a couple weeks before I can get any pictures up with them on the 8 because I'm in Vietnam right visiting my grandma. But as soon as I get back I'll be sure to post up some pics.

I like my old Enkei GF-1's. It has multiples of 5 spokes to match lug nuts. You know like 5, 10, and these are 15. Yeah, they turned out to be 18 x 7.5, but 225/45r18 still fits perfect, and the wheel is less than 19#.

Thanks! Yeah, I think they suit the car quite well. I kinda had to get those wheels on short notice. They turned out looking a lot better than I expected haha

I thought the NT03 were too heavy? They look pretty good though!

Need wheel offset and tire size to tell you. If the offset is 45 you can go really low with just about any tire
