Exclamation Should I buy these RPF1's???

Alright so I found these RPF1's locally and got him down to $650 for all four.

They are 19x8 with a 42mm offset. He said they will fit 235's without an issue. The only thing that makes me nervous is that the tire wear is not even because of the "camber on a scion xb is tilted a lot in the back." Should I be worried about this?

They need new tires as well.

19" tyres will just make you slower.

The wheels shouldn't have an effect on tire wear, that's more alignment. Unless the wheel is not straight, but you'd probably notice other damage if that was the case...

Get the 18x9 or 18x9.5 with tires 245/40/18, 265/35/18, 275/35/18. I personally went with black rpf1's 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35/18 hanook ventus v12s. Not sayin u should do that too, but I think it'd look a lot better. Good luck!

As an update, I found some Enkei Bortex RPM2's. I definitely dig the styling and they are 18x8 which not only will be lighter, but the tires will be cheaper.

On top of that, they are only $300 for the whole set. On top of that, they come with tires that still have tread on them :D

I'll be driving like 2.5 hours to go get them Friday
