*My SW tC w/18" Enkei RS7s/Falken Azenis/Tein Coilovers
I was planning on saving up for a set of Gram Lights for my tC, but found a really good deal on a set of 18" Enkei RS7s. Since I was planning on upgrading my tires anyways, I decided to give the Enkeis a try.
Wheels:18x7.5 Enkei RS7s, Anthracite, offset 35
Tires: 225/40R18 Falken Azenis ST-115
I have Tein basic coilovers, and this wheel/combo does a rather nice job of filling up the wheel wells with NO rubbing.
I also weighed the stock wheel/tire combo at 42 lbs, and my new Enkei/Azenis combo weighs in at 43 lbs.
So far the Azenis ST-115s seem nice and STICKY, and surprisingly quiet! They are also supposed to handle rather well in the rain, and cut down on hydroplaning. (Very important here in WA!) Overall I expect them to be a big improvement over the stock Yokos

In fact, seeing them on that particular tC is what sold me on these rims. -Nikki

From one girl tc owner to another- looks GREAT. I really like the blacked out emblem up front with your wheels... gives it a mean stance and adds a lot to the look of the car... i wanted to black out my front emblem, but then i went with gold wheels and it wouldn't work now...looks really good! nice pics too!

How much did the set cost? Did you get them online or a local place?
