  • My new wheel / tire setup

    I just completed my aspire brake swap and was waiting on my tire shipment and got them on the rims and installed.. (still master cylinder issues, so its not on the road yet)..

    Got these Enkei 14's at a JY last year off of a 92 Jetta GLI wolfsburg edition.. but they are aftermarket.. Toyo 195/45/14's.

    I was going to strip the gold paint...but I kind of like the red / gold combo, at least for now....

    If interested in my stock festiva pattern 13's, Look in the FS section

            Those look so good that I think you are going to have a tough time selling your old ones

            Maybe it's just the photo, but it looks like you have too much positive camber on your rear wheels. Is there a camber adjustment at the trailing arm?

                There's no camber adjustment on these drag axles (aside from a staggered shim setup). Probably the picture. The tread pattern looks like it picked up evenly across. If it were that noticeably out then the "garage floor film" wouldn't get picked up as evenly across the tread. That's a good way to see how your tire is fitting, sitting and wearing.

                Great tires, by the way!

                  I had just lowered the car off the jacks...maybe my springs haven't seated yet....

                        I searched and searched and only found 1 other picture on the web... i pulled them off of a 92 Jetta GLI wolfsburg edition, but they did not come factory.. they are enkei and i google searched "enkei gold polished lip" and something came up.. and that was Honda related, they do remind me of 90's honda civics / crx's.... so, i don't know the name of these wheels specifically.
