Got them off eBay. They feel good. We're cheap, but yes they had to be drilled.

Yep, they do not make them any more for our market,so I had to scour the forums to find someone that could get an order placed in Japan then shipped over. I think it will be worth the wait.

I'd like to see them once installed. Hopefully we can connect regionally and I can do so in person. Keep us posted on other track mods.

Rad. Mount those bad boys and post-up some pics.
What are their specs? Any idea why they're so difficult to get in the US? Good choice. I think these are going to look great.

18x9 Rear 255/35 Will be Using Toyo R888s They are no longer sold in the US, so I had to find a distributor that could order them in Japan and get them shipped over here to the US. They literally arrived today. They are confirming the TPMS sensor type, mounting the tires then shipping to me.

We need an update Ketema!
Had a chance to put those sweeet RS05RRs on yet? Thanks for your patience with the special order, but the wait is definitely worth it for those wheels |

Awesome thread, I don't know how I missed it before!! Congrats on the car, return to the track, and the now endless list of mods. Great to see someone having fun with such an awesome car!
I may have missed it but did you get a differential yet? I am currently waiting for the M2 and plan to use it as my DD and track car, will be following in your footsteps here (Stoptech, Pagid RS-29, KW fan). Keep at it and keep sharing!

Pics of Enkei RS05RR
OK here is the update everyone has been asking for. After waiting 2-3 months my Enkei RS05RR wheels finally came in. It happened to coincide with a repair of my broken right front strut so it was perfect timing as I had been without my car for a couple weeks which seemed like an eternity. I am thinking I will need a professional shoot, cause my meager photography skills do not do this car justice.
Someone asked if I had gotten a LSD. I have the M Performance LSD option, but I have been following a thread by Liquidpaper here:http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1116492 And he got a custom diff built. I am thinking about it, but I would like to know the difference between the two before pulling the trigger. Based on his comments I think the lower gear ratio may be worth it. The stats on my wheels: Enkei RS05RR 18 inches in diameter. Front: 8.5 inches wide 235/40 with +35 offset Rear: 9 inches wide 255/35 with +50 offset Toyo R888 tires 100 tread wear So far just driving on the street (which I will not do a lot with these wheels and tires) the extra grip is very noticeable. The car is harder to make break loose, it just squats and goes. I prefer the track but I plan on getting out to the drag strip to test my quarter mile. My budget for the year has be impacted negatively with the suspension problems. I did not factor in 2 camber plate repairs or the snapped strut. It all comes with the territory but I will not be able to make a track day every month which was my goal. I will however get at least 2 more this year I at Roebling Road and 1 more at the FIRM. If the shop I worked with this time got the KW coilovers and GC camber plates working right together and I have no more failures then I will stick with the set up. If I have another failure though I am going full KW clubsport kit and ditching the GC plates. Engine wise I ordered the DINAN stage two as I have stage 1 and am hoping to get that installed soon (whenever it shows up). At that point I will be done for a while and plan on just tracking and getting better with the car, perhaps will try different brake compounds form different manufacturers. The Pagids are incredible, but at the FIRM at least I have gotten them so hot that I have discolored the paint on my calipers. Plus they are really noisy. Thinking about trying CL pads. Oh also the Toyo tires are shitty for road noise, luckily I won't be driving on the street much. Comments welcome!
