Enkei Raijin

[SykoraA4]

Doc, any info on pricing, weight, availability?

[Doc@tirerack]

Inventory is slowly trickling in, but still very little in 5x112. 18x8.5 is initially priced at $ 233 per wheel, 18x8 at $ 225 per wheel. Enkei was "non committal" about the weights, so we'll know more once we get a better sample size to check. I'm guessing the the 19 lb. range.

[SykoraA4]

Nice! Is tirerack just getting the black and bright silver? or will any other finishes be available?

[Doc@tirerack]

Black, Gunmetal and "Hyper"Silver are the only finshes we will stock (or can get)

[SykoraA4]

any idea if oem center caps will fit?

[Doc@tirerack]

any idea if oem center caps will fit?

never had any luck with Enkei making that an option.....

[Amsterdamned]

Do we have official weights on these?

[Doc@tirerack]

18x8 is averaging 21 lbs, 18x8.5 is 21.5 lbs.

[Amsterdamned]

Thanks,.

[SykoraA4]

will you guys have these running any wider?

[SykoraA4]

and any difference in concavity between the different widths?

[JRMSLINEA4]

Doc any fitment for a 2004 S4?

[Doc@tirerack]

will you guys have these running any wider?

Not in 2012, more options may available Spring 2013

[Doc@tirerack]

and any difference in concavity between the different widths?

Nothing that we have measured yet. I would not expect a noticable difference the 8" and 8.5" wheels

[Doc@tirerack]

Doc any fitment for a 2004 S4?

Just added 18x8 ET35 in black as guaranteed fitment for your application. Sorry we missed it !

[Mc Suly]

wow these wheels are sexy
not sure if reminds of bbs or vmr

needs moar light + wide!

*Most places have 18X9.5 ET35 !! which is a sweet stance set up

[SykoraA4]

yeah. I havent seen that width on tirerack at all. Doc, any chance the 18x8.5 will be added to the b7's? I've only seen it available for the new Jettas.

I've had that fitment added, sorry for the oversight.

[SykoraA4]

no problem! thanks Doc.

[Doc@tirerack]

no problem! thanks Doc.

No worries, be sure to reference Audizine if ordering online !

beautiful wheels, though i am not a fan of bigger wheels prone to damage with the rubber band tires needed for bigger diameters, pa roads can be pretty rough, i would go with a 17" setup if available, spacers can be used to push them out if necessary, although it adds cost but little weight compared to using wider wheels to get them out on my 01 TT that seems to swallow the wheels and tires like the old 60-70's cars did

[SykoraA4]

doc, will you be carrying these in 9.5s for any 5x112 applications?

[Doc@tirerack]

doc, will you be carrying these in 9.5s for any 5x112 applications?

18X9.5 in 5-112 will be ET35 in black or silver

[SykoraA4]

Centerbore of 66.6?

[Doc@tirerack]

Centerbore of 66.6?

Wheel is bored to 72.6mm, so we'll need a centering ring like normal

[s4youlikethis]

what is the backspacing for the e45? will these fit with a big brake kit?

We'd need the PDF template to know for sure if we can clear any BBK

[Q-Ball]

Is it me or is the 18x8.5 not an option for a 2008 Audi A4 Avant 2.0T quattro S-Line Titanium Package?

[Doc@tirerack]

I'll see if I can get that cleared up by Monday........

[akira112]

Same, is there 18x8.5 for 2003 A4 1.8t?

[Doc@tirerack]

Fitment added, sorry for the omission !

[Fade2Black]

Nice looking wheel

Is there a reason why the Enkei Raijin 18x8 ET 35 (5x112) is not shown as an option for the B8 S4 (2010+)? Other 18x8 ET35 wheels are offered.

Looks like the design of the wheel makes for a tight fit at ET35, so we recommend ET45 for a "safer" fit

Tight in what way? Isn't the rubber of the tire in the same absolute place in the wheel well with any ET35 wheel? Or is there some area of the metal of the wheel that's a problem?

The design of the wheel (thickness and shape of spokes, location of the "drop center" on the barrel, etc can dictate fitment, so not every ET35 wheel will fit exactly the same. I had our wheel techs look at the drawings on the Raijin again and they are willing to add that wheel to the list of approved wheels for B8 with the understanding that the lower offset may cause a little rub at the fenderlip if the car is lowered (by more than 2").....

[aaron1085]

how about these in a 19x8.5 with et 35??

[Stereodude]

So that's the tire rubbing on the front fender lining / screw?

By the way, I sent you an e-mail with a few other questions.

[Stereodude]

how about these in a 19x8.5 with et 35??

Unless I missed something Enkei doesn't make them in a 19"

[Doc@tirerack]

how about these in a 19x8.5 with et 35??

in 5x112, we will have ET42 coming late Summer for 19x8.5, but nothing else until next Spring....
