Hmmm... that would also be appropriate as i love to eat. But Lundh describes me a lot better. Hoosteen, are you desi? If so.. you need to sign in on the South Asian Sign in Sheet in the lounge.

While staying on topic. I'm not going to be able to afford a Big Brake Kit until next season, but i think with this much clearance i should be able to find something that fits. I'm just not too sure yet. Time to do some more research.

The Enkeis are in Hyperblack Finish, but like the Rayswheels they look a lot different between night and day. Heres some examples...

Day 1


Night 1


Day 2


Night 2

my .02,

From a looks stand point, i don't think the Enkeis are all that great. In motion they look great, but sitting still they look off. If all goes well, i'll have a clip of them on the track this sunday.

They do serve their purpose though... light, strong, and wide - exactly what I was looking for in a set of track wheels. Now lets just see if I can get the 255 wide Falkens to handle the turbo!!!

I was pleasantly suprised how well these tires grip with the extra power. I trust you'll find the same thing.

I couldn't make it out to the autocross... but while they were on i pushed them around some corners.

The 255 Falkens gripped much better than the 275 Dunlops. Also, returning back to a non-staggered setup felt amazing.
