Has anyone put the Evo 6's on their car? I'm looking at the hyper blacks and they look really good, just don't have a pic of them on an 8. I'm 99% decided on buying them. The only thing is that they come as 18x7.5 instead of the 18x8 that comes on our stocks, anyone think that half in less would really cost much in terms of gripping the road?

Rp-f1

I added a red lip and some red lugs for my track set. The 285 V710's fit nicely>

Actually I was wondering what the RPF1s would look like with a polished lip, black spokes, on a black car. Probably pretty damn nice, maybe I will photoshop something tomorrow.

Take your Mrs's additional card back for a few weeks and you will have the Enkei.

it is called GTC racing 01. So it will be featured in the JDM GT championship .

Come on, you know you want it.

I have black rp-f1s for daily driving and love them. The only problem with them is that it is virtually impossible to keep a car clean with a 9.5 wheel shooting up debris from taking turns at high rates of speed all day. As long as you willing to have your car for driving purposes and not constantly worrying about dirt, go for it.
