**updated pics on page 2**

They just got here.

Enkei ES-Tarmacs, 17 x 8", and just under 17lbs.

But I don't have tires for them yet.

Has anybody else managed to keep white wheels clean?

cburwell · 02-22-2006, 11:11 AM

I have sucessfully managed to keep my "gunmetal" wheels dirty!

They look like nice wheels. I can tell your cat is impressed!

BlackBulletTSi · 02-22-2006, 11:20 AM

LoL the cats extremely excited you can just tell. But I know ur more excited. I love white wheels

BradC · 02-22-2006, 11:24 AM

Looks nice, put some sealer on them bitches before install and it will be sooo much easier to clean later!

What do you care about clean thats not how a hard core auto-xer would talk

xEJ20x · 02-22-2006, 11:37 AM

I'm almost certain that Michelin has a wheel cleaner made for white wheels.

And wind resistance.

I was thinking I would just wax them, so I could just wipe the brake dust off.

S4toSTI · 02-22-2006, 11:50 AM

Yeah i know alot of audi people who wax them and they repel the brake dust for a while then they just hose them down and they are good to go.

Check that out for sealer...supposed to be really good

cravej · 02-22-2006, 01:25 PM

Thanks, I'll check out that sealer.

And Marvin (the cat) was definately more stoked about the cardboard boxes than the wheels.

sesolcSTI · 02-22-2006, 02:19 PM

I dig your wheels, despite how pissed off your cat is about them, heh.

Isn't that wierd? My cat loves boxes too...they are damn strange animals!

US_R33 · 02-23-2006, 01:07 AM

not really a fan of white on white but they do look like nice wheels Jeff....gonna hold my final thoughts until i see them on the car

<--still thinks you should have kept your TE37s :drool:

cravej · 02-23-2006, 09:00 AM

The TE37's were the best looking wheel, that I've ever had, but they just weren't wide enough.

I'm thinking about red and blue decals, but I'm a little too indecisive at this point.

Twin_Cam · 02-23-2006, 09:19 AM

Hey, who took that blurry picture, anyway?

Nice wheels. White on white. I waxed my nice alloy wheels I had on the Saturn and the brake dust just kinda wiped off. I'd try that.

TehWagon · 02-23-2006, 10:01 AM

nice wheels! definitely post up pix when you do get them on

MuddyREX · 02-23-2006, 10:35 AM

Wow, you got a really hairy puss.

Nice wheels by the way.

05Accent · 02-23-2006, 10:48 AM
