Enkei Center Caps

I'm probably going to be picking up a set of Enkei RP03's from TireRack.com but it doesn't appear they come with the center caps. It says they include "center rings" but that doesn't sound like the same thing and I emailed them to ask but haven't gotten a response yet (its been a week).

Does anyone know where to get them from? I tried ebay, but the selection is quite limited and somewhat shady-looking.

On a similar note, I've seen a lot of talk about wheel spacers but I have no idea where to get them. Can someone point me in the right direction? I did search this on here but only found mention of them.

They are cheaper from Autornd I bet. He is also really fast to answer questions. Mine came with centercaps fwiw. What size/offset are you getting?

TireRack only seems to have 18x8 +40 (which is why I'm also looking into spacers, I wouldn't mind bringing it to +30). Maybe I'll send an email off to AutoRND. One of the reasons I was ordering from TireRack was because I could get tires there too + free mount and balance.

Pretty sure he can do all that too. 18x8+40 is super weak.

That's what I hope.

Just curious, what size/offset do you have?

18x9.5 +38 I have 5mm spacers in the rear though. Plan on putting a 10mm in the rear and moving the 5mm to the front as soon as I get my coilovers finished up.

RP03 wheel does come with caps. If Tire Rack says no, buy them from Goodwin Racing (and maybe even pay less). You don't need spacers.

By the sounds of it I'll be getting my rims from Rishie @ AutoRnD (just waiting to hear back), mostly because I can get a difference width and offset than what TireRack offers.

Going for a 18x8.5 or 9 +38. I don't want to have to roll my fenders and according to Rishie I would need to with a 9.5, so yeah...

Thanks for the tip on the caps. As for the spacers, I guess I'll see how it goes. I keep looking at the stock rims on there and they just seem to sit really far in to me now--and I don't even have my 8 lowered!

9.5 +38 won't need spacers when stock height. The 9.5 actually has some concavity to it, while the others are probably flat faced if that is important to you.
