Enkei RPF01 17"x9" ET45

 

satin rx8? Looks fantastic

 

Yes painted.

Thanks

 

fastlaneracing, what size tires do you have on the RPF1's? Nice car!

 

R888 235/40-17"

Works great at the track, stretch is your friend

Thanks for the kind words

 

fastlaneracing that is epic - well done. Have any more pics?

 

I'm Joining the RPF1 club now :D

Ordered some RPF1s in 18x9.5 ET38. Ordered them from LSD Motorsport in California as they gave me the best deal shipped to england

I've got new tyres on my OE wheels at the moment so i might swap them over till i need ne ones then go for some 265/40/18

 

265/40/18 is doing it wrong

 

Why would you think stretch is your friend? Why don't you run wider tires for the track? I can fit 275/40/17 tires with my 17x9 +45 RPF1's.

 

Enlighten me sensei

 

9.5" is doing it wrong too, on a NA track car.

 

how? wider tyres - more grip.

 

245s semis are more than you need already.

 

fair enough

 

Track means long straights where the added weight and friction can counteract the added grip from the corners when you can get adequate grip from a thinner tire. Autocross is a different beast though. 265/40 is too tall

 

yeah i see what your getting at. i wont be doing autocross or even competing. just big fast tracks, like Silverstone, most of the time your doing 100mph plus.

so would be be worth running smaller tyres to eliminate tyre flex?

 

Shorter and thinner

 

Just odered my late xmas present, RPF1'sClub member!

 

Got mine delivered yesterday. Now I have to wait till march lol

 

PF01 18x9 +35 245/40R18

 

 

I think you were sent mine. I didn't get them yet
Just wondering, you gonna use the factory TPMS sensors?

 

Arived and mounted yesterday. I think they forgot to include stickers? For that price I should have gotten stickers

 

:D

I'm going to sound silly but, what are TPMS sensors?
