Default Enkei RPF1 vs. NTO3+M

These are going on my PPW car. What do you guys think. I'm really leaning towards the SBC RPF1s...but i am thinking gold would be cool too. But then i like the NTO3+Ms b/c hardly anyone has those...plus the two valve stems will mess with people.

RPF1 18x10.5 +15 all around (~19lbs)





NTO3+M 18x10.5 +30 all around (21 lbs)

since everyone is picking the RPF01s, you should def. go with the NT03s. it makes sense. the less popular, the more unique and rare and cool they are.

Just get the NT03's already, I have a set and they are badass.



As a side note, I wanted SBC but they didn't offer it in my sizes.

Gold RPF1. I'd go with the 9.5 +15 for the front though.

IMO, the NTO3's suite a smaller car. and RPF1's look great on a Z.. So I voted for silver RPF1's. None of that chrome deal though.

Though I've been wondering what 18 inch NTO3's look like...

Thats a tough choice since I like both wheels so much. I'd have to say the RPF1 though just b/c it'll be easier to clean

Sure!





I almost bought the RPF1's myself but decided on the NT03's since they aren't as common. They are a PITA to clean though.

I kinda want NTO3's b/c not many people have them...on anything. But the RPF1's are a couple lbs lighter. We will see, it will probably come down to a coin toss...i wanted SBC RPF1's a while ago and now i want gold NTO3's...but then there is the gold thing, my dad would make fun of me, hahahahaha.

That almost makes me want to sell my TEs and get a set of this. I was looking at some old mags at home last night and I saw a G35 with this on. same specs as yours but running 275/35-18 Fr and 315/30-18 Re. It looked awesome!!!

They do not make any other color but silver in the NT03's for correct sizes to fit the Z. I have a brand new set of NT03's in my office right now, I bought them because they are less agressive offsets than my 19" Volks, I am going to run a 275/315 combo for when I wanna play around on the streets but not use my slicks.
