OMFG!!!
I was just surfing Discounttiredirect.com and looking at the RP01's, considering a purchase... last night they had 18x8.5's, today - only 17x7's!!!!!!



I'm gonna cry... anyone know if this is really true??

I know most RP01 fans are 3rd gen-ers, so I figured better here than in the sus. forum.

 

if anyone cares - I got so upset that I called Enkei and they confirmed that the RP0-1 is discontinued. They will be introducing the RP02 in the states as the RP02-J in a bit. It looks the same as the RP01. Wanna see it - goto [url http://www.enkei.com]www.enkei.com[/url] and click on the Japan site.

 

Yes believe it or not the rp01 has been out of production for quite a while.

 

as far as the rp02's are concerned, what are the wieghts and durability of the construction? The size I want is about $315 which beats just about anything else out there as far as price. Anyone have word on these, possibly when they will be out?

 

I now Rishie(ARD T2) knows more about them but I didn't catch if he said when they'd be out...

 

I suppose I could call them (Enkei) back and ask when they're out... Anybody interested?

 

Why would you the RP02 be so expensive when rp01's could be had for $190? Or was that a closeout price?? I was hoping the RP02's would be cheap like their predecessor, otherwise they may be out of the running for a wheel option for me.

 

I just bought 4 Rpo1,s in 18 x 9.5 all the way around getting them next week, yey.

Enkei corporate sold their last 18x 9.5,s in the last 36 hours, I know because they should have been mine!

I do know a vendor that has two left, that you may be able to get hold of and cobble something together.

So what are the least expensive 18 x 9-10" wheels out there, that are worth buying for the FD???

 

Enkei for sure. THe RP02J in the staggered fitment will be here in about 90 days. I just spoke with Enkei and we will begin special ordering these.

The RPF1's are coming in this month however.

The RP-F1's are nice, ARDT2 pm me about approximate prices.

Yes, the rpo1s have been discontinued for some time now. I'll be selling my 17" (F17x8 and R17x9)RP01s soon because I just purchased some gunmetal volk GTNS. PM me if you're interested in them.
