Default Enkei NT03 +M

Just wanted share that there is another good wheel option for C5 corvettes. Tire Rack still carries these in 18x10.5 with +64mm offset, which works well on all 4 corners. They are around $12-1300 for a set.

I picked my set up from JRitt here on the forums...

Good info, is that a new wheel? Last year/earlier this year when I was trying to find an affordable upgrade Enkei didn't have anything that cheap; not that I could find at least

NT-03m's have been around for a while now, I'd say 4 years or maybe more. They're based off the RPF1 (very light and strong) with an additional reinforcing ring around the outer edge to minimize spoke flex.

I know a bunch of people running them on various cars with good results.

Hey Kirk,
I hope those wheels are working well for you.

They are really nice wheels. I had quite a few friends running them hard on various cars (particularly Evo's), and they always seem to hold up great. They also have a very nice finish, balance well, etc. I think they are one of the best kept secrets for good track wheels on the C5.

How do they hold up when run hard with full slicks? Not to be confused with Hoosier A6/R6 or other DOT slicks.

It has been around a while, but it is very difficult to find... The +64 offset is not even shown as an option on Enkei's website. I did however, confirm with Tire Rack that they are available a couple of months ago.

I don't have any direct experience with full slicks on any wheel. They are part of Enkei's "Racing" line. As JRitt said, they are a popular race wheel on other cars.

They are a great wheel. I have two sets powder coated a burnt orange that were on my 370 Z. One set has BFG R1's with a few sessions left and the other set has NT05's but the wheels have a few nicks from the crash. If anyone is interested, they could be for sale. Both sets are 18x10's PM me if interested.
