Hey guys, I've just ordered some 17x7.5 +37 wheels with 235/40/17 dunlop direzza tires mounted. Am i going to need spacers and if so, how big? I used the offset calculator and know i'll have 2mm more clearance on the inside with these wheels. Will that be enough? Thanks in advance for any helpful knowledge.

BTW nice gallery everytimeidie027!

I'm pretty sure they're Enkeis... I believe that's midnitecoop's R53. Can't remember the model name. He sold them a while back I think...

Still happy with the superleggeras, BUT!

Last summer!



Since the winter is finaly leting go, i decided to change back to my summer wheels again today.

Sadly, after all four rims were washed i found this crack on the inside of one the rims!



Is this possible to fix? by welding?

Sorry for offtopic, but please help me, so i still can enjoy my superleggeras, and post new pics with them on my mini!

If you check out the tire, you can see the ripple effect just above the crack, it agrees with your guess!

I agree with Puma, I'm pretty sure they are Enkei's........but they don't make them anymore. Too Bad, they were a nice looking wheel.

These are the 17x7 ASA AR1's in black. Cheap BBS knockoffs, but I like them. These replaced some 20" Motegi DP1's which are for sale in the marketplace: LINK

I applied a little quick and dirty fake tilt shift lens effect in Photoshop.

Actually, I wouldn't go as far as to call them knockoffs, they're just another style mesh wheel. And they're pretty quality wheels too, not cheapa$$ reps.

I can finally add mine - Enkei SC03 rims (17x7) and Falken Ziex 912 tires (215/45/17)
