Hater.

18x10.5 + 15 woot. Damn I wish they had 17x10.5+15.

I mean there cool wheels. But i'd much rather have the RPF1, NT03+M, and the RP03, before these..

Hmmm, big letdown they dont have any wider 17's than 8.5". They should have AT LEAST a 17x9 or 17x10

I like these over the RPF1's. i like the more spread out spokes, the thinner barrel, and they should be around the same weight as the RPF1's.

wow, looks like it's heavier than the rpf1. also looks like they're still producing the rpf1.

Damn i wish it was more concave. not what i was expecting.

This wheel will be anywhere from 1-2 lbs heavier size for size over the RPF1.

This however might be a stronger wheel as a result and they've implemented a tire anti slip feature onto the barrel.

i am sure we're going to work on wider 17" Wheels.

This wheel is also a little MORE EXPENSIVE than the RPF1, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THE CENTERCAP IS INCLUDED. So that should balance it out.

Somehow I don't anticipate tire slip on the wheel to be an RX-8 issue

the 18 x 10.5 +38 would be perfect. Roll the rear fender lip and you're there. Going with +15 would be as showboat tardish of a move as they come. Suspension geometry and modification effort be damned, man I'm cool should always rule over being both smart and practical at the same time ....

Too bad an NA 8 doesnt need a 10.5 wheel to be smart and practicle. Anything over a 285 on our car is pointless. So, getting a 10.5 over the 9.5 would just be as showboat tardish of a move as they come.

Do you mind pointing that out to me? I read:

The PF01 is engineered to exceed the RPF1’s
weight benefit, taking Enkei’s light-weight racing
wheel line to the next level

Anyway, here's another shot of the 370. Definitely not as concave as I'd hoped for but w/e.

^+1. 285 on a NA is pointless, autocross is pointless.
