TorqueyPig 09-16-2009 07:03 PM

THat would be my pick for wheels on your ride. Im actually scoping them out myself ;)

hoss -05 09-16-2009 07:17 PM

I would pick up the last said rims in Gunmetal for sure! I know when I get my set it they will be chrome with a red stripe!

All bs aside When I pick up my set it will be SBC finish 17x9 rpf1's 17" performance tires are so so much less expensive.

WhiteSnowflake8 09-16-2009 08:15 PM

my 17x10 RPF1s SBC would look better.

3DZukini 09-16-2009 09:09 PM

What about these:

I know they're Rotas, but they're only $500 for a set!

Edit: Nevermind, just noticed bolt pattern, oops.

Gr8Bullet 09-16-2009 09:28 PM

Rfp1's gunmetal ftw!!!! Ohhh I want those!

nikkdizzle 09-16-2009 09:33 PM

i like the 5zigens...i dont know i kinda think rpf1s are overused..

but form over function.

Ever Hernandez 09-16-2009 09:50 PM

If it was my money, it'd be the 5zigens.

3DZukini 09-16-2009 09:59 PM

Any love for these?

I don't know what you're smoking, but those are definitely NOT the Enkei RPF1s!:Wconfused They look more like Work Emotion CR wheels.:scratchhe The Work Emotion CRs, btw, are much better looking than the Enkei RPF1s.

Look at the center caps, lips, spacing between the spokes, and how the spokes extend toward the outer edge.

This, here, is an Enkei RPF1:

I like Enkei wheels and I used to have a set myself. But the RPF1s are probably some of the ugliest ones Enkei makes. But then, some people only care about function and not aesthetics.:ugh2:

chrizknot 09-16-2009 10:15 PM

get Enkei RPF1's 18x 9.5 in black. will fit perfect and look great!

hoss -05 09-16-2009 10:20 PM

You are correct sir the fit will be Great~! thing that holds me back from this rim is the price of the tires.... I truly dont think many people take this into account.

3DZukini 09-16-2009 10:27 PM

Bassy: Yeah, I know those aren't RPF1's, they're 5Zigen ZR+520, mentioned somewhere on 1st page. I couldn't add more choices to the poll after I made the thread. They're also 11 lbs heavier than the RPF1, lol.

Hoss: I found 265/35ZR-18 Hankook Ventus R-S2 XL $99 on TireRack.com, not bad.

HAHA fail.
you don't know what you are talking about

vbrad26 09-16-2009 10:36 PM

both the rpf1's and fn01r-c's wheels are played out...
if you like the 5zigen ZR's or whatever just get the work emotion cr kai

3DZukini 09-16-2009 10:43 PM

I like the Work emotion's a lot, but they'll cost me twice as much as the 5Zigen won't they?

:uhh:

I do know what I'm talking about. Maybe YOU don't know what I'm talking about. The OP knows exactly what I'm talking about.

You = Fail

:balls:

05rex8 09-16-2009 11:12 PM

except for the fact that your post was completely wrong about the type of wheel, but whatever

:rolleyes:

05rex8 09-16-2009 11:19 PM

yeah no shit
you didn't bother reading the whole thread so you thought Erich thought the 5zigens were enkei's
Oh and you thought the 5zigen's were works
:jerkit:

3DZukini 09-16-2009 11:26 PM

Easy... easy.... don't make me separate you two!:squint:

Ugh, how about the fact that the fucking poll only got two choices and a bunch of different pics from THREE different types of rims? And no, Captain Obivious, I didn't feel like going through every single post in the thread before I cast my vote in the poll. The poll is and can be misleading to some people.
:jerkit::piss:

05rex8 09-16-2009 11:26 PM

LOL we are just having fun Erich

well i guess if you just read the thread you wouldn't have had to waste your time by trying to "educate" the OP :)

the internets is so fun!!

gh8st 09-16-2009 11:36 PM
