pretty much everyone is out of them at the moment. When I was trying to find a set I must have called 20+ places and I got the same story. The thing most people don't realize is vendors don't typically keep these on hand. Every single one of them just gets them drop shipped from Enkei so when you call 10 places and they say they have 1 set in stock the 10 places are talking about the same exact set so as soon as one sells that set everyone is out of stock. Some vendors will actually have a couple sets on hand but for the most part everyone is having them sent directly from Enkei.

I had talked to someone who had looked at Enkei's inventory and at the time I was trying to find some they told me Enkei was already -150 wheels for the 17x9s

Anyone know of a good set of red valve stems, after about 5 days they look like this, right know they almost look brass.



Also I'd rather not pay 80$ for rays stems. How are the Enkei ones that the wheels came with holding up? The ones I used are Ebay stems.

I have run the 949Racing stems and nuts before and they're really nice. The anodizing on my stuff never faded after a ton of abuse.

Yea i pretty much figured that was what is going on and sadly i want 17x9's all around haha, but i guess its worth the wait for some nice wheels unless there is some place that has them in stock but i kind of doubt it...

^Here you go! That is 17x9.5 +38 all around. 255 Star Specs all around. -2.5 up front and -3.3 out back. My fenders are also rolled and slightly flared. As you can see it's still going to take some work to fit.



My goal is to have them fit like this when done
