Item for sale: 16" Enkei ES-Tarmac Competition wheels 16x7 5x114.3 ET45
Reputation: Zen
Price: £SOLD
Paypal?: Yes
Location: Walsall
Condition: 9.5/10
Description:
I purchased these wheels recently with the intention to fit bigger brakes but have changed my mind and keeping my Rega's.
These wheels have been chemically stripped and refurbed (powdercoated) in championship white. All are in excellent condition, no kerbing, scuffs or stonechips.
They are fitted to Yokohama AD08 205/50/16 tyres that have pretty much full tread left. These will be removed once sold unless the buyer wishes to negotiate a price with tyres.
These are very rare JDM wheels and I have never seen another set come up for sale anywhere.
Technical blurb ripped from another site
From Enkei:
Enkei Sport wheels are designed specifically for race and rally competition by Enkei, Japan's leading wheel manufacturer. All Enkei Sport wheels feature:
Heat treated cast alloy
Robust center hub construction to resist high loads and impacts
Knurled tire bead contact surface to resist tire slippage
Steel tire valves to resist high temperature
White surface finish designed to reveal cracks easily
In addition, ES-Tarmac wheels are manufactured using Enkei's special "MAT" technology which forms the outer rim through a spinning process that forces the material to flow into the correct shape. This results in a highly dense grain structure that dramatically improves the mechanical properties of the wheel. The use of MAT allows Enkei to produce lightweight wheels that rival the strength and rigidity of a forged wheel without the high cost and design limitations associated with a forged wheel.
The 16" rims are lighter than 15lbs per corner! Lighter than TE37's!
