Looking at Enkei Wheels - Any Experience With Them?
I have decided to ditch the runflats for non-runflats and also change to darker wheels at the same time. I really like these 16" Enkei WDM wheels I found at Tire Rack that I would be paring with Yokohama AVID ENVigors 195/55R16 or possibly a little wider. Does anyone have any negative/positive experience with Enkei? This is my first time buying non-oem wheels and was going to see if there is anything I need to look out for.
Thanks,
Kevin

I have owned Enkei rims in the past and have been highly satisfied with them . I am actually having a winter set put on my new 2011 JCW . I had thought about getting the rims that you posted but went with the Black Painted Enkei Performance EDR9 instead just because I like the black on black look .

Thanks, I really liked the "saw" like look that makes them more unique.
That makes me feel much better about them!
Great to hear, I can't wait to drop the run flats. The ones I have are just about to the wear markers so they feel like Fred Flintstone's rock tires right now!

Good to hear about all of those positive experiences!
That is one reason I posted this, I thought those seemed very cheap for wheels. But I haven't seen any with a similar style that were more expensive or brands I have heard of (not that I know many! ). I did see some in the $400+ range but that was out of what I am willing or able to do right now! It's just time for new tires and thought I would do it all at once!

I spent a good bit of time researching aftermarket wheels for my R55 S. I ended up finding out that one of my relatives is in the automotive wheel business. Who knew? He told me that he considered Enkie to be one of the better wheel manufacturers.
I ended up with a set of Enkie Imola 17 x 7.5's from Tire Rack. My tires are 215/45 17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+'s . I'm very happy with both.
Good Luck.
