Enkei Raijin or has anyone heard of Verde?

Mike · 03-30-2013, 06:48 PM

those verde's are only 4 lbs heavier than the enkeis. I would go for it if you like them. In my experience, Tire Rack doesn't sell crap. However, they only have 1 front wheel in stock right now, not expecting more until 5/3. They only have two rears in stock also.

yea I saw that. I might as well get the Raijin because I would have to pay to get the Verde's powder coated anyway. Silver isn't happening either haha, but I was interested in the 19's. The raijin come in 19 as you can see from the chart, but I'm no wheel fitment guru so I don't know if they would work

I like the Raijin but unless you go 18x9.5 (+15) or 19x9.5 (+15) they will be too conservative for a 370z

This is a sizing chart directly from Enkei for reference:

I would instead go with a set of Enkei RPF1's in 19x9.5 (+22) and 19x10.5 (+15)

A good bit of people are running 20mm and 25mm spacers on the oem base and sport rims. I have not heard of anytihng negative on here.

I really want you to snag these so I can see if I like them haha! What color you thinking?

i'm running the raijins on mine. 18x9.5 with 35 offsets all the way around. no spacer up front and 30mm in the rear. i'm also dropped on eibachs. i'll post a pic in a bit

MY car so far

I'm gonna get the black ones probably. I definately don't want to be taking the turns at 75 (speed limit in the area now

) and feel tire rub and blow out... I'm not dropped or anything, so I did not suspect our stock suspension was that soft under full load. so perhaps I should change it to "as flush as can be with minimal fender rub." The stock 18 are just much too sunk in, particularly in the rear.

I'm liking 18x9.5 + 15 on all 4 corners.
