I'm sort of halfway in the market for wheels since some lovely thieves decided that they didn't like the ones I had and drove them into the curb.

I'm looking at several of the Enkeis -- mainly RPF1.

My questions are thus:

1) Why don't they make anything bigger than 8.5 width? Are they wide enough to be pleasant looking?

2) What offsets are available and what should I look for if I'm going to be running 18 x 8.5 front and rear?

3) Are the faces "concave" or do they stay flat regardless of offset?

Contact drivesolo. He has a set of those for sale. He knows plenty about those wheels.

 

They do have wider wheels. I have a set of 18x9.5 fronts, and 18x10.5 rears arriving on Thursday. Those are both +15 offset. I'll let you know how they fit when they arrive and I get the tires mounted.

 

Not sure where you're getting your information, but according to http://www.tirerack.com website, Enkei RPF1 are available in 18x8, 18x8.5 for the front, and 18x9.5, 18x10.5 for the rear. In 19" size, they are available in 19x8.5 for the front, and 19x9.5, 19x10 for the rear.

They do come in several diffrent sizes, the best place I have found for price is touge factory. www.tougefactory.com

 

Huh, I wonder why I haven't seen larger sizes.

 

this my car with Enkei 18x9.5+15 fnt and 18x10.5+15 rr.
look in the vendors section for rishie at AutoRnD. thats where i got mine. still love em too.

 

+1 - drivesolo is a good guy and someone you could buy from; I liked his enkei wheels on the Z

 

Gosh that setup is beautiful..... I want them sooo much.

 

More pics woof*

 

okee dokee! heres a few more..

 

that looks really good

 

The big question, what size tires are you running? Did you need to roll the fenders in back or adjust the camber up front?

Great setup. I've been looking for pics of a setup like this before I purchase. Glad I found this.

 

thanks for the compliments
the tires are Toyo proxies T1R's 265/35/18 and 285/35/18. i had a tiny rub occasionally in the rear on dips, so i had the rears rolled a little. been driving hard a couple months now and no rubbin. the car really digs in!

 

yea, I love those rims. I shouldve held out till I found my pair, but I got a good deal on my current wheels, so I bought these. I still want a pair of RPF1's though. Your car looks gorgeous.

 

I've been looking into getting a set of RPF1s. How much did get the set for? and what are you lowered on btw Woof*?

your set up looks awesome.

 

thanks again guys,
i think i paid somewhere in the area of 1200 shipped to my door for the wheels,800 for the rubber. im lowered with eibach prokit 1", with cusco frnt and rr sways, spc rear cam arms and toe bolt kit and cusco camber arms up front

 

Looking DAMN good. I really love the rpf1's. I would love to see them in SBC on a black Z too.

 

i thought the price would be steeper then 1200 for a set like that. good deal.

 

rpf1's have little concavity no matter what offset. if you want, look into ame's- enkie's higher end line.

here are my ame tracers:




more concavity, same style.

they may/will be for sale soon if your interested
