Many of the BBS are also not forged. And they are really heavy.

The Enkei Racing rims are supposed to be pretty strong.

Alex, do the PF01's come with center caps?

Yes they come with center caps at no charge. Look them up on tire rack and read the notes section. Why cant people use Google and answer there own questions? Here try this link: http://tinyurl.com/ygf3tjq

Oh I also ordered a set Saturday.

don't hit any potholes with those junk cast wheels .

PF01's aren't cast.

Mat -

Enkei Racing Series wheels are manufactured using the MAT (Most Advanced Technology) process. MAT is a new technology for producing an aluminum wheel by combining Enkei's MAP (Most Advanced Production) and flow-forming forging technology. MAP is a highly automated system.

Each process is connected in a single-piece flow system that transports wheels from the melting process, through heat treatment and on to machining. The process of spinning the rim vs. casting it to both shape and elongate it produces a finer, more even aluminum structure and ensures the wheel will remain lightweight yet strong.

The complete MAT process has a drastic impact on the microstructure of aluminum and results in outstanding improvement of the mechanical property of the material.

Does this fit the large bbks?
Looking at the Brembo, you'd have to be really carefull with wheel weights the radial cleanances are very tight!

Et 38 is would be better.

Thanks, Alex. I guess I could always file a little bit off the weights if it came down to that. Just to doublecheck, are you sure the Ultra OZ's have a little more breathing room than these Enkeis?

Just get the weights mounted on the inside of the rim instead.

I just got the enkei edr9's and they are also made using the MAT technology. They're priced pretty reasonable, but aren't very light.

Alex,

Tire Rack has posted the weight for the 17" PF01 at 19.6 lbs. Is this correct or a typo?

Alex from tire rack on post # 33 said "17x7 et38 15.8 lbs - The Et45's should be lighter, but I don't have them in stock yet."

BTW... I can confirm that the 17x7 45mm offset wheels clear the stock calipers on a 2009 JCW. Not by a ton, but they do clear.
