i think these are one of the better looking enkei wheels out right now. I'm no enkei fan but i wouldn't mind having a set of those.

 

They look great mounted and on the car. I saw these the other day and did not think much of them.

I know the OE wheel weighs 22lbs but what is it with tire? Is 50lbs total weight less than the OE setup per?

 

I believe it is less by a few pounds, i can't recall for certain. The wheels weigh the same as stock but much wider.

Ya i didn't think much of them either, but when put on the car i was like WOW these work super nice.

stock tire is 28lbs acording to tire rack. so this set up is the same

 

they're almost 5.5 lbs heavier each than the regular RP-F1 in the same size/offset

 

Bling is heavy

 

It's not only that. The RPF1-RC is much more beefy than the RPF1 is. Just compare the two.

 

I likes these wheels.

I think they look great on your car!

 

I'm not sure if they're beefier, but they're definitely more bling. I'd go with the standard RP-F1s, but I'm sure there are people out there that'll like this since it's more flashy and less business. Too bad Enkei doesn't make a width and offset combination for the RP-F1 that I want.

 

Ya well these are two piece wheels with centercaps installed, lol..... So I expected them to be heavier than it's one piece counterpart. That was a known fact.

This just gives you another style you can go for as an alternative to Volk GT series wheels or work wheels.

They do make the fitment of choice, Grip APPROVED 275/35's or 245/40's all around.

 

like the tires, but not the wheels- too many rivets for my taste. congrats nonetheless.

 

Oh these aren't for my car. just real time pics for the community. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I figured i'd take the time to show installed pics.

These exact wheels are for sale. I already have too many damn wheels.

thanks, Rishie
