The Enkei GTC02 in Hypersilver is a high-performance 18x8 alloy wheel designed for enthusiasts seeking a competitive edge on both the street and the track. Developed through rigorous research and development by Enkei Racing, this wheel embodies the precision and innovation derived from motorsport, specifically inspired by the RA series wheels used in the Super GT racing series.
Ideal for weekend racers and performance-minded drivers, the GTC02 offers a perfect balance of lightweight construction and structural strength. Its design helps reduce unsprung weight, improving handling responsiveness and overall vehicle dynamics without compromising durability.
Key Features:
The Enkei GTC02 wheel incorporates advanced engineering and design elements to deliver superior performance and style:
- Constructed from high-quality alloy for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
- 6 split-spoke design efficiently disperses stresses, enhancing durability while allowing for thinner spokes.
- Strategic cuts on the fronts and sides of the spokes reduce weight further, contributing to improved acceleration and braking.
- Finished in a sleek Hypersilver color that complements a wide range of vehicle styles.
- 18-inch diameter with an 8-inch width provides a balanced stance and accommodates a variety of tire sizes.
- +45mm offset ensures proper fitment and clearance for many vehicles with a 5x100 bolt pattern.
- Hub bore diameter of 75mm for precise centering and fitment on compatible vehicles.
- Backspacing of 6.27 inches and frontspacing of 2.73 inches optimize wheel positioning for handling and aesthetics.
Construction & Design:
The GTC02 wheel benefits from Enkei’s extensive motorsport experience, leveraging technologies developed for the Super GT series. Its alloy construction is engineered to provide exceptional strength while minimizing weight, which is critical for reducing rotational mass and improving vehicle performance.
The 6 split-spoke layout is not only visually striking but also functional, as it evenly distributes load stresses across the wheel. This design allows Enkei to maintain thin spokes without sacrificing rigidity, and the additional cuts on the spokes further reduce weight, enhancing agility and responsiveness.
Installation & Fitment:
This wheel is designed for vehicles with a 5x100 bolt pattern and a hub bore of 75mm. The +45mm offset and 18x8 sizing make it suitable for a wide range of applications, but it is important to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase.
The Enkei GTC02 is a direct bolt-on replacement wheel that uses factory mounting points. No modifications such as cutting, drilling, or special tuning are required for proper installation when matched to compatible vehicles.
