I really liked the gtv01 and was ready to order a set of 18x10.5s. Just as I was about to pull the trigger I checked on the weight and it was a boat anchor deal breaker. Very disappointed at SSR as I've owned many sets of their wheels, including Schumachers back in the late 90s.

Both wheels designs are JWL complaint but I am sure SSR's level of impact resistance is much greater than Enkei
Danh, feel free to add or correct me

it's not a matter of the casting. The processes between the two are basically the same. Enkei's MAT Technology is what is more commonly called flow forming. Weds has something called AMF (Advanced Metal Forming) which is also what they call Flow Forming.
What I'm referring to is the wheel itself. The wheel is designed to be lightweight, not to be a "strong" wheel. I'm not knocking the RPF1, I think it's a great wheel and have many friends that run them. And if you happen to break one, is cheap enough to replace.
Same thing with the SSR Competition that Tire Rack used to offer. It was one of the lightest wheels on the market but not known for being a super strong wheel.
Strong, Light, Cheap, You can have two...
A wheel that is strong and light isn't cheap. A wheel that is light and cheap isn't strong. A wheel that is strong and cheap isn't light.
When you get into the strong and light realm, you're going into forged territory and we all know that forged wheels aren't cheap.
The GTV series wheels will pass all of the same strength tests as SSR's GT-F01 Forged wheel, it does so but is heavier and about half the price.

What offsets are you running for your Z?
What offsets are you running?
What are you running for wheels and tire size for the front and rear? I really like this look
