Enkei Raijin Gunmetal installed - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

drfrink24 · 04-06-2012, 05:53 PM

18x8 et32 - Matte Gunmetal 335xi They are approx 19lbs each.

Haven't ordered BMW centercaps

Yes, its 'hollerin for a drop, Eibach Pro-kit on order, haven't decided on shocks.

UPDATE: Dropped on Eibach Pro-kits for 335i, 15mm BMS spacers on rear, and Plasti-dip'd trim. Bonus: Carseats visible.

Wow, I actually really like these considering im not a huge fan on enkei.

fusion01 · 04-29-2012, 05:54 AM

Sexy. Looks good and lightweight. And based on price if one goes pop I'd not be too gutted. Considering for my 135i - staggered 8" front and 8.5" rear.

BTW, matte gunmetal by far the best choice. Also seems the perfect shade: often gunmetal finishes can be too dark. This looks somewhere inbetween silver and dark gunmetal. Silver is boring and done to death. Black can work but only on certain cars and colours. Gunmetal fits in easier for sure.

Nice pics. This wheel looks great on the E90.

I have installed Eibach pros and BMW centercaps.. I'll update with pics later.

In the process.. I let one wheel fall on the face, which ended up marring all the spokes on one rim

Or, as another poster in another thread called them "reverse concave" They aren't dished, that's for sure, but the ET32s aren't as bad as the ET38. Their 10" wide is concave, but I didn't want to go staggered.

Same here...they definitely look 100x better now given the drop and OEM centers too

Umm.. yeah, that was my point, thought it was funny someone called them "reverse concave" instead of convex.

That looks good.

The gunmetal looks super sick against the black paint...I'm thinking of getting a set for my e92...any idea if you can get them in 19's?

Sweet!...looks like it's time to spend a little more cash!!!

mapleridge · 09-26-2012, 09:48 PM

guys. I was considering these and I pm'd pat at sonictuning. His price is amazing on these. Try him before anyone.

Also, OP says about 19lbs. Tire rack said they are around 21.5lbs in 18x8.5 et 35.

Just swapped back to my winter setup. 17" OEM + non-RFT winter tires = 53lbs, Enkei + non-RFT Advan S4 = 46.5
