So who wants these? Is there actual interest?

I'll hook y'all up super phat on the initial order coming into the states.

18x9.5 +45 I assume?

If the price structure is close to the same as the RPF1's I would love to pre-order a set but I would need to know when they would be in stock. Do you think you can get them by March 10th?

With the RX-8 being moved down to the SCCA STX and it's narrower wheel width limit the popular size will be 9.0" wide now rather than 9.5"

Also 17" may be the preferred AutoX size. Anyone know if the inside diameter is the same or larger than the RPF1's? They are pretty tight on the stock front calipers.

Ok so the

18x9.5 +45 should be landing end of February at Enkei. So we would be able to ship around the same time as tirerack, March 10 because the pallets need to ship to us first from Enkei in Texas.

I have not checked on the other sizes so if you list those sizes I can check if they are even on the purchase order. If not then it will probably take 3-4 months from time of order.

Bummer, too wide for STX... What about ETA on the 18x9 +35 and +45's? From Enkei's site it seems like they're not producing a 17x9, which is a very big bummer and will lead to some upset S2000's I think.

Tire rack has an automated way of doing that for any wheel they sell.



They look a lot like the 6UL's from 949 racing, which is interesting because 949 is going to start selling those in 17x9 this year as well.

That system on tirerack is terrible.

It makes nice wheels like the Volk RE30's look plain.

Just stumbled upon this pic. For anybody who is interested in these I guess this is the closest thing you'll get at this point as to what these wheels look like on the 8

The rears are 10.5, though not sure of the offset. Imo the 9.5 rim looks better, at least from the angle the picture was taken from.

I think they look pretty good, but I don't think they should have replaced the rpf1's with them

Ya RPF1 is here to stay.

This is just another wheel design.

ALL THE PF01'S FOR OUR ORDER SHOULD BE LANDING IN END FEB OR MARCH.

18x10.5 +38
18x9.5 +45
18x9.0 +45

IT APPEARS TO ME THAT ALL THE FACES ARE THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WIDTH OR OFFSET on these wider than 8.5" wheels.

Buying a set today from Tire Rack..
18x8 Enkei Racing PF01 Bright Silver Paint

With in 245/45ZR18 XL Michelin Pilot Super Sport Blackwall

Looks like a year after this Thread was posted or so they got the sizes down..

Sticking with the Stock 18x8 but wider 245's My 8 is lowered by about 1 inch so a 40 would be to low to get out of the driveway....

See the Tire Rack here for a updated Pic and Stats.. But at 18 lbs ....
