Ya, Im a retard LOL....the offset is 114.3 x 5 on both sets (fits S14's) and I am asking $1100 obo for the Verdicts and $2000 for the Enkeis...the Enkeis sold for $750 per rim when I bought them and you cant buy them new anymore so $2000 with tires is deffinately reasonable.

Thanxz, sorry for the screwup

And shipping depends on what part of the country they go to but probably around $150

Umm, just to clarify, 5x114.3 isnt an offset...it's a bolt pattern.

Good call, told ya I was retarded. One of those days I guess. Anyways, the bolt pattern is 114.3 x 5 and the offset will for sure fit the S14 as they came off of my TT 300zx.

Damn, I wonder if I screwed anything else up with this thread.
Good lookin out though, thanx

yeah, you still screwed up....some people would like to know the OFFSET....the info you provided that it came off a TT 300zx is not enough....

seems like you dont know what offsets/bolt pattern, etc. are...

Damn man...no need to be so harsh. Anyways..Offset. Sometimes its stamped on the back of the wheel. If you can't find it there, you'll have to go searching online to find it....WHICH ANYONE OF US CAN DO SINCE WE'RE ALL INTERNET CAPABLE! Like I said, there's no need to give the guy a hard time for something that he may have misunderstood or not known.

uhhh...ur kidding right?...i dunno maybe i am way off but i have NEVER seen an Enkie wheel which sold for $750.00 per wheel..the most i have EVER seen them sell for, in 18x8 inch form, is like $300.00 per wheel...i mean when you get to $750.00 you are talking Volk Magneszium prices...or 3-Piece O.Z. Racing Wheels...not Enkie's...or not what a sane person would pay for Enkies...in, most likely, a front wheel drive offset of 38 or higher...

some evidence to back my claims..lol..at this personal website a set of the Enkie Enzos is being sold in 20 inch Chrome form for $1400.00 used.. http://www.cardomain.com/id/bkgolden

the Konigs, while a bit pricey for used wheels are not terribly far off, as they retail for $250-$300 new in that size...so that is acceptable as then come with tires...:)

anyway, i'm not trying to be a d!ck...it's just that i think $750 for an Enkie Wheel, in Chrome (which is just ghey anyway), in a Front Wheel Drive Offset is obsurd...you could have just about ANY wheel in existance for that price...so i'm just baffeled...

wait..hold up a sec...did you mean yen!?!?!?...

actually, there were a few Enkei rims that were pretty damn expensive....
http://www.enkei.co.jp/pro-mat/p-f.html
the Aegis in Japan retails for 550$ in 17x7.5....
they have other high end Enkei rims that are $$$ too...
not many people know or talk about getting them, cause for that much money you spend on the high end Enkei, people will assum "i can just get Volks for that much"

enkei has some excellent wheels that are worth more than your car. They are very very very popular in japan, right up there with volk and any other rim manufacturer you think highly of. Their US market stuff hasn't been quite as good, as a whole, but they still have some pimp ass rims.. I want a staggered set of those 18" hollow 5 spoke RS5's or whatever... mmm
anyway I'm just saying there are enkeis that retailed for lots.
This set is used, so retail doesn't matter. If its worth it to you than buy them, if its not make a cheaper offer and pray for acceptance, or move on...

The Enkei Phalenx wheels (which are IDENTICAL) to these wheels did retail around $750 a piece, but they were the 3-piece version. From what I can tell these are the 1-piece ones. Correct me if I'm wrong but they look 1-piece to me.

that's why it's called an opinion...

these wheels are NOT from Japan...these are wheels available here in the USA..

japan always gets better stuff then us so i'm not surprised...

anyway, i would never in my life put those hideous wheels on my car...but like i stated...that was MY opinion...yours and his may be different..if so more power to you...it's not my car looking like $hit...

and on a side note...how would you know what the value of my car is?..do you know me?

Ok, this is getting rediculous. Let me clarify some things.

1) For Heartwork: Thanx for your concern about my wheel knowledge but I know more about wheels/tires than 90% of the people out there. Yes, I do know what offset, bolt pattern, etc. are and how to determine what works on what vehicle and what doesn't.
I stated that they fit a 300zxTT because most people DO NOT know what offset their car takes and what bolt pattern they have, sadly enough. So, in stating that they fit a 300zx it makes it easier for those people to see that they will fit an S14 (S14's use the TTZ's brake rotors and calipers as an upgrade, so if it fits the Z it fits the S14 with the upgrade and DEFFINATELY without the upgrade)

If you want further proof that the Enkei's will fit the S14 here you go.

http://www.mwtc.com.au/gallery/jap15.jpg
You can find the page I got this from at this site: http://www.mwtc.com.au/japgall2.shtml

2) For Nokeone: No, I am not kidding....The Enkei's retailed from Enkei's old website for $700-$750 for the 18x8" chrome Enzo's (Milano Edition) I would post a link for you but like I said the site is no longer available since they switched to a new format. And the new site doesnt have the Enzo's on it because they are discontinued from Enkei. I actually saw the ones that were for sale by the guy on cardomain for $1400 for 20". He must really want to sell them bad because they retailed for around $1,000 per rim. Again, I wish I had the old site to prove it but take it for what it's worth.

Im not in the business of ripping people off. In fact I just bought some Volk GT-N's (like you suggested in your post) for my Z and no longer need either of these sets of wheels. Im just putting prices out there that I think are fair and if someone wants to offer me otherwise thats fine but I certainly dont deserve to be flamed by people about what they "think" my wheels cost.

3) thanx to the people that backed me up on the price of Enkei's. I know some are cheap but their Milano line and some others deffinately are anything but cheap.

4) For rcviper: Yes they are one piece rims but not "identicle" to the Phalenx wheels. The Phalenx have rivets and some dish to them if I'm not mistaken and also come in a gunmetal type finish or polished I believe.

Oh ya, and if you need to know the offset of the Konigs you can go here: http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/660
and look toward the bottom at the 5x114.3 opel Verdicts to get the offset.
Neither of the sets of wheels have the offset stickers on the inside that most wheels do.

I think that about covers it....Sometimes people forget to post every detail....oh well, thanx to the people that understand that lol.

telling us that these wheels fit on a Z32 TT still isnt enough information....one thing we know is that it clears the Z32 calipers, but we dont know if that S14 you posted was on coilovers or shocks/spring combo.....a wheel with a high offset i.e. 40+ or more would have a hard time clearing most coilovers, and possibly the Z32 calipers, but the inner spoke design of those Enkei's may have been lucky to clear the Z32 calipers...

with a super low offset it can hit the fenders....
there are lots of people, especially on this board, who are picky about knowing the offset, so that is why it is crucial for you to state what offset it exactly is instead of saying "it was on a Z32TT, so it will fit S14".... Z32 and S14 are different cars, hence different fitment on wheels vs. fenders, coilover spring/shock issue...

but i higly doubt its an offset that people would be interested in, let alone the rim design on this board....but who knows there are people out there that would want these rims, provided with the info of the actual offset

I see your point and thank you for a straight forward (nice) answer.
Unfortunately I dont know the offset as the rims dont have the stickers on the inside. I will have to contact Enkei about that.

Thanx again. It's weird being the noob on a forum after being on another forum for so long lol.

well, while i would like some actual proof, i will appologize for the harshness of my post...and you're right...i couldn't find proof either for the new retail price of those wheels so my post was purely speculation...

and while i do agree with what i wrote, as it is my personal opinion, i was wrong to use the "For Sale Forum" as a place to state it...

YouloZe

No appologies needed man =) I was just trying to defend myself a little because things seemed to be getting a little out of hand toward me.
Im not a disshonest person by any means so when people started to jump on me about things it was rather surprising.

And I know the rims arent everyones cup o' tea (they actually looked great on my old Z) and thats ok by me. No hard feelings at all

Sorry for all the crap my post has caused, not a great way to start with a new forum lol.
I just bought my 240 and hope I can learn a lot from this place as I plan to do the usual moding.

I look forward to learning from all of you and Im excited about the future of my S13!

Thanxz
