Default Enkei 18" RPF-1 or 18" Privat Profil

The enkei's are definitely lighter and more performance oriented:
18 x 8.5 (30 offset)
18 x 9.5 (15 offset)

around $300 each

OR

Privat Profils:

18 x 8.5 (25 offset)
18 x 9.5 (30 offset)

around $220 each, but will be avialable soon with the diamond black face and polished lip.

These wheels will go on a Chrome Silver Z

what do you guys think or any other suggestions.

thanks

sorry don't even have the car yet, its coming in February, just wanted some feedback on these two wheels. My other choice is the Nismo 18", but they are a bit pricey.

I cannot do tires and shipping (not cost effective for you or us), but I'll PM you pricing tomorrow

Z1 do you guys still carry the Privat Profils? I saw in the classifieds a while back you were running specials. I like the black color in 19x8.5/19x9.5. What are the lip sizes on those wheels? Do you have any pictures of the wheels themselves not just the ones everyone sees online?

I have that RPF-1 combo on an '04 Track with Falken GR Beta 245/40ZR-18 front and 275/40ZR-18 rear. The noise level is significantly higher. Put about 11,000 miles on car, then put OEM wheels/tires back on-was hearing squeaking/squeeling noise from rear suspension. Noise eliminated with return to stock. Also low-speed noise from front suspension eliminated. Note: the OEM's only had about 2,000 miles on them.

PS

The wheel/tire combo I mentioned in the last post looks REAL NICE and handle much better. Also, be sure to get the wheel center caps-I assumed they came with the wheels-ended up having to go through a bit of a hassle getting them after wheels shipped.

Anyone have idea on why so much more noise?
