Enkei Triumph 18x9.5 et45

[CTRifecta]

Just some initial pictures after finally mounting these. Tires are 265/35/18 Michelin pilot all seasons. These will be my DD setup, OEM setup will be for the track.

Wheel/tire combo weighs 49.3lbs for anyone curious.

Will get some driving impressions and better pictures later this week.

Excited to hear how you like these! I've been looking at the bronze version for my CW as another affordable option vs the SuperSpeed RF03RR.

Hey OP, how do you like these Triumph wheels so far? How’s the ride?

They look nice on that Boost Blue!

Bravo!!! Stock suspension? Hubcentric rings?

I've been really enjoying them so far! Perfect fitment, very aggressive yet flush. Most importantly I'm loving the pilot all seasons as my DD, very little performance drop off, yet much quieter and slightly better over imperfections.

Yep, stock suspension and yes hub centric rings

This is excellent to hear. I got my eye on a very similar tire/wheel setup. Either these wheels (or the Apex EC-7 w/ +58 offset) and prob. Conti DSW06+’s.

@CTRifecta What lugs are you running? Can't make out from the pics if they are the OE - but that would seem odd since the OE are acorn seat and I thought the Enkeis are conical? Just curious, because I'm looking at a similar setup.

I run the same tires, pilot sport all seasons and they are pretty good. Very good in the rain.

Not the stock lugs, they are smaller and came with the rims from tire rack. I believe they're called mccgaurd spline? If you're going to order thru tire rack, just put in the comments that you want black lugs and they'll hook you up.

Agree. I'm very happy with them, the dry grip is also amazing, and the noise levels are much better than the OEM ps4

Hi OP. Same here running triumph. Curious how much were the lug nuts torqued when they were installed? Saw a service manual saying the OEM wheels are at 94 lbft and I'm a bit worried that Discount Tire over torqued mine.

Looking good, I have the same exact wheels except with DWS06+ tires on my CW and love the way it looks. How do you find the turn-in with the pilot sport all seasons? I found the turn-in to be slower/more sloppy with the DWS06+ and wondering now if I should have gotten the michelins or stayed with 19in wheels.

I don't recall exactly but I believe I stuck with OEM spec, around 90 ft-lbs

Honestly turn in is the same as what I recall the PS4s to be on the street.

Recent pic from after a wash, just because these wheels are so nice
