MD Sold: Matte Black Enkei RPF1's, 18x9.5 +45 with tires (275/35/18)

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $900
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Others, Series I, Series II
Location (US State/Canada/Int): MD
Item Condition: Used

These have been sold, but good luck with your search!

I sold the 8 about a month ago & these have been sitting in the garage ever since. I figure with spring on the way (albeit earlier than I would have expected), I should give someone else the chance to enjoy them.

As the title indicates, I have a set of four (4) rare Matte Black Enkei RPF1's that are 18x9.5 with a +45mm offset. Each has Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+ tires with (according to the last full circle report) well over 50% life, and each has an OEM RPF1 Centercap.

If my memory serves me...
Wheels originally purchased for 1500
Tires originally purchased for 1100
2600 Total

Price is 900 obo. (Keep in mind I am in no rush to sell and could use the wheels sans tires on my new ride for occasional track-day use).

The wheel/tire combo was used for daily street driving and there is a bit of minor road rash on each of the wheels and visible pothole bends on the outer rim of 2 (that I can see).

MORE PICS ADDED BELOW. Local pick-up preferred. (I am in the DC burbs in MD).

Thanks in advance for your interest.

Would you trade for infiniti g35 18in stocks with tires that have about 75% life left. 245/40/18. I have them on my 8 which I recently purchased. They are painted Matt black and tere aren't.any dents on them neither scratches. Ill pay for shipping.

I will wash them up and post pics before nightfall (EST).

Sorry, amaza, trade doesn't help me much as I already have 2 sets for both of my new cars; just clearing out some room for storage (and cash for mods).

Thanks for your interest. Pics on their way!

more pics (lots more)

Here are some detailed shots including those of the description mentioned in my original post.

A few items of note...
  • If you are seriously interested, I can send you hi-res versions of any of the pics you would like to see. I would much rather everyone get a good idea as to what they look like before deciding to purchase/meet with me.
  • I intentionally did not touch up the wheels prior to taking pics. They are easily touched up with Mazda's BB touch-up paint which is a near-perfect match.

I hope this helps everybody get an idea as to what we're looking at. Thanks for your interest!

I'd have to change the tires anyway. New ride won't handle anything more that a 30 ratio with the 275s in the rear and no larger than 245/35 in the front.

...but agreed :-)

Was thinking the same thing - but I'm curious - how did those feel at the track? I am currently running the same tire...

(not intended to be a thread jack - first time I can get some feedback from someone who has aggressively driven on them)

Sold to RL20zero1.

FWIW, I know he's new to the forum, so I will put it out there that he was a very good guy to deal with...Made the transaction easy & hassle-free. Looks like he'll be a good addition to the club.

Thanks for the good word. Bump for great seller! Fast and was willing to meet about 1/2 the distance drive for the transaction.
