Enkei PF01's - Saved 43lbs!
Got my Enkei PF01's mounted with Hankook V12 K110's, and did a before and after weight. Saved almost 18lbs on the pair of fronts and just over 25lbs on the pair of rears. No pics as it's dark and I just got them put on but maybe in a couple of days. And that is rotating and unsprung weight, so a double whammy. Will have to g-tech the car to see if there is any difference. A few calc's show that I should be able to shave 0.25s or so off the 0-60.
Thx to TireRack - way quick delivery, great price and good quality. That company delivers! |

Going to have to wait for pics. Just put them on last night in the dark and it is cloudy/rainy out today. Sorrrrryyyy. I started this thread more for the weight aspect than the look aspect but I can understand!
Like mentioned, they are et42 with an 8" width, so that puts the fronts out a bit more (maybe 1/2" or 13-14mm) and the rears are out maybe a bit less than a 1/4" or 6mm from stock. The BMW centers don't fit but Enkei provides a reasonable looking cap. I figure with the reduced offsets and the common 8" width, this should go in the right direction to minimizing understeer, and I just went up to the 225's on the front and left the rear width stock with the same intention. I'm more interested in balance than outright grip. A bit at a time. Will report out more as I get some miles on them. |

Very, very Nice! I was looking superlight then I found my setup. You've got me beat by a lb or two per corner I guess, especially in the rear.
Not that you want to go this way but you'd drop a few more lbs per corner if you went with Generals. I was shocked when I researched tires how much lighter they were than the rest. I think the Hankooks were close to the top of the lightweight list also though. I'd keep the Hankooks, probably a much better tire.

Took the original wheels/tires off and weighed them one unit at a time. Then I took the new wheel/tire assembly and weighed it before putting them on. There's about 4000km of wear on the original tires so maybe a few tenths of a pound of weight gone there - but they were slightly dirty too, so call it a tie. Note that the front tire size is a 225 vs a 215 stock, and the new rims are 8" so, that is 1/2" bigger than stock on the fronts, and 1/2" smaller than stock on the rears. A rough calculation also shows this is about the same as taking ~240lbs of static weight off the car. As for pics - those are the only ones I have but I couldn't upload them in their original size, about 4Megs, without the site saying no can do. Too bad because the pic's look better than what I was able to upload. edit - original rims were the 264's(?) I believe. What comes stock with the M Sport pkg on a 2009 NA 135. |

OK, so it's a comparison between the Enkei's with Hankooks and the 264's with stock Bridgestone RFT's?
NP on the bathroom scale, that should be plenty accurate all things considered. I know the 264\RFT combo is heavy as lead. Pretty though... ianc |

Yep, you got it right. The 264's do look nice, but heavy. That's what my wife says about me!

Sorry to be a PITA, but what are the actual weights of the new Tires/Wheels according to your scale?? I see differences, but no weights. and I'm to lazy to calc.

Stock 264 w/ Bridgestone should be F:48.2lbs R:52.2lbs each.
So new should be F: 39.2lbs R: 40lbs?? back calculating the difference. Or adding the weights online I get.... F: 18.2+23=41.2 and R: 18.2+22=40.2 ..... Close enough. |
