Opinions on these Enkei wheels please.

Does anyone have any opinions or feedback on these wheels?

Found these and I really like the look. Would these by good for street use? The offset seems acceptable but I'd like someone with more experience to chime in.

I tried Tirerack but they don't have any matching 18" wheels for the 135 at this time (at least not under $200/wheel). I have an email into them but they haven't answered.

Personally not a fan of them, but at the end of the day it is really what you like. As long as the offsets work for you go with them.

They are not for me. There is a lot going on there, I like something with a more simple design.

Is there something specific why I wouldn't want these offsets?

45 in the front, OEM = 49
42 in the rear, OEM = 52

Although I'm not a fan of the look of these wheels (too over the top for me), I'm a huge fan of Enkei wheels in general as the build quality and light weight properties are impressive.

As far as the offsets, you are likely to have better luck with the 42, and 45 offsets than a lot of other 18" wheels, which come with a generic 35 offset. The clearance on the 1 series is tight, when compared to the 3 series.

Cheers.

Not a fan of black wheels. And the additional red trim makes it too boy racer for my tastes.

Everyone is bashing on the taste of the wheel and not the actual question. You can't make everyone happy with your wheel choice but as long as you like them that's really all that matters.

The offset should be okay but yeah, it is a tight fit like everyone says (for the rear). I'm running et45 front and rear staggered at 18x8.5 / 18x9.5.

Hope this helps.
