Hey guys, just wondering what you guys think the best offset for some Enkei RPF 1's would be for some 18 x 9.5 all around.

Or possibly 19 x 8.5

 

There's a member here from SoCal who was selling some 19x8.5 rpf1's w/tires, I'm sure he'll let them go for a fair price...

i'm looking for some black ones

 

18X9.5 +45 fit great

It used to be Auto R&D IIRC, but I think Fluid has the best prices on them, and the only one to sell new black RPF1s

 

I can't find the black rf1's in the size i need anywhere not even on enkei's site. this sucks

 

What size do you need?

 

Nemesis 8 posted the link to the black 18x9.5 in post #5. That is the only place you will find them for sale at this time. They are special order in sets of 40 from Enkei. Vendors only buy 40 at a time and it takes 4-6 months for them to come in. Fluid Motorsports, a vendor on this site is the only one with a group buy for them at this time.

 

^ yup yup; those black ones really make me want to snag a set

 

What are you aiming for exactly?

were you aiming for flush or tucked? are you running standard rear fenders or are you flared out? (guessing you might have some modifications by your avatar) -

The most popular specs is 18x9.5 +45

were you looking for a more aggressive offset or wider size?

 

+30

mmhmm

 

I think most of all of us are running +45 offset. Looks clean with that offset. No need for fender rolling. Whoring my car...

 

the black rpf1's come in that offset?

I thought they only come in +15, +38, +45 for 18x9.5??

If he goes 19x8.5, +22 will push it out pretty far to the fender - he'll probably need a roll but it'll look closer to flush.

 

no. you have the only offsets they come in.

i'd go with +38.

i was simply stating that a +30 is where its at.

 

oh

Random thought steming from this: I don't have any extensive knowledge of this is true or not - but would a +38 offset on 18x9.5's have issues fitting a BBK??? This may belong in the will it fit thread...

 

well nevermind cuz I don't have the money for it anymore, damnit!

And Enkei over here said that they will only make them in the offsets we need if someone orders 40 or more wheels, and I know about the group buy but dont have the down payment, maybe before they produce them I will.

I wanted to go for something slightly more aggro than +45

 

they did have +38

 

IN black?

 

There's actually a manufacturing plant a couple miles from my house, sucks I cant just walk in ask for them and watch them make them at the plant and get a good price. That would be the shiz!

 

I've been looking at these for my Galaxy Gray and wondering how they would look. You cause me great pain because i am too broke to buy them and they look as awesome as I thought they would!

Is your car lowered?

 

yes we were the ones to pop the cherry on the Black RPF1's. I did my part and got them on the market, now we're just wholesaling them.

Please contact Brice at Fluid for your Black RPf1's. He's taking care of them for the community.

soo, i've changed my mind and since i don't have the money right now and can't get the rpf1's until later, i'm going for my top pick, Work meister 3 pc!!!

I love'em but gotta get one at a time, sux but that's life.

 

Well I can get you those for sure. I'm the Meister master.

Shoot me a PM with color and fitment, along with the best price you've found. i'll make it happen.

The Meisters take 2 months to get also, so at that rate you're looking at 8-10 mos to collect all four wheels.
