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.

What about these:

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

Edit: Nevermind, just noticed bolt pattern, oops.

I don't know what you're smoking, but those are definitely NOT the Enkei RPF1s! They look more like Work Emotion CR wheels. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Ugh, how about the fact that the ******* 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.

the internets is so fun!!
