for an enthusiast 17" comparing weight and price which sets of wheels would be a good option?

 

I got Andrew James' old Enkei RP-F1s(i think that's the model?)

they are much better than the stock 17s, I think close to 10lbs less each wheel. Though I'm not sure where you can order them, you have to run a pretty large spacer up front to get the wheels back into BS spec.

 

yeah, RPF1s are the way to go. light weight and inexpensive.

 

What about RP03's?

 

you ought to give John a call down in Florida at CCW - Complete Custom Wheels has some very light and sweet 3 pc or 1 piece 17" wheels for the Z.

hey chris, I broke a lug bolt on the front and will have to replace them all, and was wondering what size and type would work best the the RPF-1's and the spacers?

thanks

What kind of prices are we looking at?

 

I haven't broken a stud on the car since I put the Nismo studs on, try PerformanceNissan, just be sure to get the right ones.

 

CCW's are rad they are about 1600ish for a set.

Before I bought the rpf1's I did alot of looking around. I was going to run blacks racing in from and 5zigen something or others in the rear. Not as light as the rpf1's but they are easy to get. I got discount tire to order the RPF1's for me they where 1200 I think.

CCW has prices on their website: http://www.ccwheel.com.

 

Enkei RPO2J's. They're 17x9" at all four corners, and weigh about 17.5lbs. I haven't had any problems with them over the last year, and I've driven them hard over curbing, etc. constantly. I picked mine up with A032R rubber for around $1000 if I remember correctly.

 

Ah yes, but not stock legal unfortunately.

My top choices would be:
Enkei RPF1, RP03, NT03+M
5Zigen FN01R-C
