I leave mine on my car. Granted I don't drive mine every day or in the rain etc, but they are doing just fine.

New Enkei owner here, and I need help. Can I put my RPF1s on now and then put the caps that are on the way on later without taking the wheels back off?

Does it even matter? How hard is it to take a wheel off?

Mine with its ricer-tastic rear wing! Mmmmmmm, Enkeis... I should have held out for the Hyper Black ones though... special order from Japan only in a 19" size. Grrrrrrr! We can't ALL have silver RPF-1s can we?

regrettably it's going up 1/2", seems that running the rear suspension too low results in it binding up and voila, instant oversteer ...

So you found the cause of your oversteer? Is it something which happens when the weight shifts to the rear under acceleration, or does it happen any time the suspension is compressed that far?

I took one rear strut off to work my suspension through its full range of motion to find a noise (eventually identified as coil-binding) and I didn't see any binding or twist in the bushings or control arms.

You're running a coil-over system?

true, but you can buy them for less here, under $300 each shipped for 9.5"

OT note, they have 18 x 8 SSR Comp wheels available on closeout sale
