Default New Enkei GP5 SBC wheels

I looked and looked for a set of wheels and had to decide between two different ones. Either the TSW chrome vortex or these Enkei GP5 with the special brilliant coating (SBC).

I was wanting chrome but I took a chance on these because they were over 400 dollars cheaper then the TSW rims.

The coating is almost mirror like. I was very impressed. It is a deaper clearer reflection then most chrome. They come with a one year warrenty on the finish. From the research I did I think they are lighter then the vortex wheels also. So I feel like I took a chance and it payed off.

These are just stock size replacement wheels 18" x 8". they make ones wider, i think up to like 9.5 wide but i don't remember the offsets. I thought about going wider but my tires are almost brand new.

I personally think they give it a classy look especially on black. But I am a little bias because they remind me off the 2003 cobra wheels for the mustangs and i have always liked how they looked, especially the chome ones on black.

it will be 5x120 since it fits GTO I think you were going to ask him about offset??

They look good. Did you get the same width front/rear or staggered? It would be nice if they offered 18x9.5 instead of 18x9.

Here is a link to the sizes/offsets for those interested: http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/GP5.pdf

Yea. That's what I meant. All GTOs are 5x120?

I'm assuming the offsets can be different though...

The Enkei GP5s are a nice alternative to the TSW Vortex. They look great.
