Nice wheels but, I like the old wheels better.

18x8 Enkei GTC-01 with Dunlop 225/40/18 Z1*

I have to ask, why does it have 2 valves?

Two valve stems on wheels are for when nitrogen is used. The nitrogen is pumped in one valve stem like normal. The second valve stem is used to bleed/purge the "air" out.

still have em. I liked them a little better too style wise too but in their current condition (bent and peeling clearcoat) I was not happy with them (may send them out for a make over). In fact if they didn't all peel like crazy and werent bent I would not have gotten new rims. The new wheels are also just 23lbs (fairly light for 19x8.5"), 5lbs lighter than the old rims (same specs size and offset) and I can feel the difference. Its like riding on classix's again.

that system is used in racing wheels too.
You fill air or nitrogen on one of the stems, and and the pressure gauge in the other so it's faster and more acurate than having to switch between the compressor hose and the gauge.

Really, never seen that on any of the race cars I've worked on across europe nor any of the IRL wheels I've seen.

What race series are they used in?

P.S. I'm disbeleiving you, just interested.

NASCAR Mexico (I'm not making that up, there's such thing here :bellyroll: and it sucks)
I've seen a couple drag cars too with that kind of wheels.
I asked one of the mechanics and he told me that... probably was just fucking with me but it somehow made sense back then :iono:

VMR 710's 18 x 8.5 et45

What are your tire specs? Those look pretty low-pro for 18". I've got a set of Forgestars that are in production now :thumbup:
