I'm trying to see how much a set of a wheels that could run 265-275 tires on them would cost. I like the Enkei RPF1s but I think they're like $320/wheel in this size, I'd like to find something a little bit cheaper if possible.

 

cheaper and 18 inch 265-275 tires don't belong in the same sentence.

 

most cheaper wheels arent forged and will crack/bend very easy with out thin sidewalled tires... trying to save a little now, will cost you a lot down the road when you're replacing rims every month

 

You can get get RPF1's for less than than you think. I got mine for a great price. Look for group buys

 

yeah, that's more what i was looking for. a place with good prices on rpf1s. or if there were similar rims that went for $250ish

I'm just looking to see how much it'll cost. i'd like to be able to get a set of wheels with 275/35 Azenis on them for under $2k, eventually. I just want to know if it's something even close to being able to be achieved or if it's even worth an extra inch of tire...

 

Right now you can pick up 4 SSR SP1 from tirerack in a 19x9.5 with a 55mm offset and run a 5mm spacer all for 1100 shipped. All forged construction with a spun rim and they are black. Personally you cant beat that buy they are a tad heavy at 24.7 lbs.

 

I don't know of any manufacturer that makes 9" 10" wide cheap wheels. But if you want cheaper look at Rota P1, and Motegi SP10. But they only come in 8" wide.
Those are the only decent wheels I can think off.

 

The Enkei's are probably what I'll end up buying, but I just want to see what the other options are out there. I like the Tenzo DC5s a lot, but they don't come in the right size. I don't want a 19" wheel either, I don't deal crack.

 

Enkei RPM2's, I do believe, come in 18x9.5 and are cheaper than the RPF1's. They are heavier than RPF1's, but even in that width should be lighter than OEM.

 

The Enkei RPF1 18 x 9.5 is the only thing that really fits your need relative to cost, weight, and offset

They look pretty decent too

 

This is where I bought my RPF1s:

You can fit some nice meaty 275s on these

 

That is all correct. PM endlessrotaries or look in autornd in the vendor forum for a killer price on these wheels. You can get them in 9.5" wide, lighter then stock on all 4 corners for less then $300/wheel.
They split the difference weight-wise with RPF1's and stockers...

 

Edge Racing has 18x9.5 5Zigen Fn01r-cs in several offsets and colors for less than $300 per wheel.

 

word, those some dank *** wheels. They say 22lbs. per wheel at $282, and the Enkei RPF1s can be had for $299 and weigh 17.2lbs.
