Most beautiful color ever!
I have rad somewhere that those rims were 18 inchers. The beauty of those wheels is that they are light, readily available and fairly inexpensive.

No, he can order you a set if you like I spoke w/ him this past week about getting a set. I'm going to go another route though. Good luck

sorry for using your thread but im thinking about buying these wheels and i was wondering if 17x8.5 in the front offset 40 and 17x9.5 in the rear offset 38 work on fd?

patfat; yeah i've emailed him about them .. just waiting for a reply from him now thx though!

mistaxko: these wheels are the new hotness eh? and as for your question, i would imagine that would fit fine for the most part. my current setup is 18x8.5,9.5 +40mm for both.. the fronts you may want to roll the fenders though. i've hit the fender lip a couple times now with 225/40 .. that was because of a rolled curb onto my steep driveway though. HTH.

wow, thx for the link! i wonder if rishie can match this price.. hehe.

btw, i know with 18x10 you need coilovers / trailing arms, but for 9.5" fitment, anyone running that all around w/ spring/coilovers?

FWIW, here are more pix of the RPF1 on FD's. Have you seen the RPF1-RC? It's a 2-piece wheel IIRC. I'll try to find more pix of it, but they were posted a ton on here. Search RPF1 RC.





The RPF1-RC looks something like this, but there are rivets along the disk of the rim.

RedR1, thanks for the pics! the blue RE looks great w/ those wheels! However, for some reason I cant stand how the front doesnt go inwards like the rears, thus the want for a 9" or 9.5" all around (and also just a general want for a symmetrical setup).

As for the RPF1-RC, i saw a pic of them on AutoRNDs white FC and they look great, but they're also much heavier, and pricier than what I was loking for. Thanks for the suggestion though

Anytime A different offset would also give it a little more lip. Contact Rishie from AutoRnD, he'll definately take care of you on rims, and every aspect of them, especially for the Enkei.
