Pic Request: RPF1

want pics of the Enkei RPF1s that good-win-racing sells, 18x9.5, 45 offset.

please include tire specs as well!

it would also be nice if your car is titanium grey

and if you're lowered, can you post what suspension you got?

thanks!!

Spin, what lug nuts do you have on those? I just picked up the RPF1s myself and was thinking I couldn't get away with using the standard lugs.

I got these, because of the 2-piece rotating nature, so as not to mess up the wheels. Actually fairly inexpensive @$67 all 4 wheels. As a bonus they act as locking nuts. 5 locks per wheel should discourage thieves.

Sorry, no idea. Wouldn't put those TPMS lead weights in anyway. The idea is to cut weight w/these 17lb wheels, not add it w/TPMS and the equiv. offset balance weights.

I didn't use TPMS. You might ask Brian Goodwin.

My answer would be to just check your pressure regularly and not bother with TPMS. Even if you have TPMS the range before the "idiot light" activates is somthing like 26 to 50psi. Just not worth it imo.

tevaburns, how is your ride with this suspension set up? I'm thinking of that exact one myself.

I agree, TPMS is not all it can be.

I had a flat and noticed it when the handling was loose getting into traffic about 3/4 of a mile from home. TPMS beeped about 30 seconds later. Would have been nice it had alarmed about 30 seconds after startup.

I got it repaired and put about 4,000 miles more on that tire.
