I saw these for sale on Pistonheads.

I already have a set but was wondering if anyone else has the same wheels?
I was thinking it would be nice to have a full size spare, but not £200 nice.
So if anyone has the same wheels and fancies sharing a set, let me know :wink:

Failing that, they'd make a nice change for someone.

Great price for a set of these Enkeis and they really suit the FTO.
If anyone is presently considering buying alloys for their FTO you probably won't do better than this for the money.

This is what they're like on if anyone's interested.

Do I have to lower my car to fit them? Don't want to to be honest but I assume they are 17" and my current are standard... I wouldn't have to alter anything else would I, if it's too much hassle don't think I'd be holed...

I'd imagine they're a direct replacement but I'm open to correction.

The ones in the first link have 235 45 17 tyres on them, I have 40s, which I'd say might be more suitable.

If you decide to go for them, have a think about going halves on the second set...

Got those on mine too, very happy with them. You wouldn't need to lower to put these on, once you keep your rolling radius the same size (i.e. total diameter of metal + tyre) it shouldn't be a problem.

205/50/16s on standard alloys and 235/40/17s on the Enkei's give you the same rolling radius.

Right well, first link has been emailed. I'm not too worried about they tyres as I'd just get new ones instead.

Go halves on the ebay ones? Why? Why would I want 8 alloys?

@ Laura, 4 on the car and two full size spares, better than the skinny standard spare.

@ Kevinod, if you're interested we could split it three ways?

by **optical illusion** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:49 pm

2 spares!!!

Maybe we could go foursies??

Sure, he hasn't even replied to my email yet...

Feck, one's on PH sold...

by **Bernard** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 12:56 am

Ah well.

Is there anyone around that breaks evos?
It's just a thought I had since my skinny won't fit over the Brembos.

And yes, I have a can of tyre weld.

Normally I would have been tempted to take one of them but with my other project its a no go.
