what is "satin"? flat black?
concave looks nice, but im fine with convex all around if it's easier on the fenders/alignment...
details hardly show in black anyway.

i dont see the difference in those wheels.. haha
Here is an angled pic, now look at the fronts and rears. The rears look FLAT while the front spokes kind of come out. They look a lot different in person. You can also tell if you look at the lug nut area. The fronts are really deep by the lugs, my 45mm luigs barely stick out but then on the rears its not as deep and my 45mm lugs stick out a lot more. (you cant tell in these pics cuz the new lugs weren't on yet but you can terll in the other pics I posted)

it makes it so the rears have a lil bit of a lip on them and the fronts do no. Plus with the spoke design up front you can fit bigger brakes then you can with the flat (sunk face) rears.

The TR ones will make it so ALL of your wheels will look my fronts. All four of your wheels will look the same

Where is the best place to get the concave wheels (17x9 +45) if you wont have enough money to get them before the group buy ends.

what color?

Silver you can buy from most of theS@KI vendors.

Gold is really hard to find right now (been on back order) but I bought mine from Gruppe-S, I highly reccomend them as a vendor. Great customer service, awesome prices and fast shipping.

Black if you want sunkface rears you MUST go through the group buy through Gruppe-S as they are doing a special order and thats the only way to get them

like he said above. The black on has them on his car. You should be able to get the silver in 17x9 +45 from most of our vendors that deal with enkeis

Thanks, man.. you help out a lot in this thread.
I think I get it now. I see the difference and like it... But since I plan on going with black, I don't think it will show up as much and I want more conservative fitment... Otherwise I'd go with the concave as well.
