19x9's weighed about 21bls and the 19x10's were just a hair over 22lbs according to my scale.

specs are 19x9+15 and 19x10+25 (currently now running 25mm spacers in the rear as pictures below)

I'm not sure what you mean by "convatity" but I've read other people's comments on the rpf1's.

I think it's a matter of preference and taste. To me, the tracer's have the classic bling and Gaudy look that's now so chic and Fauve.

Conversely, I think the rpf1's have a classier and cleaner look. Like something you would expect to see on a race car as opposed to every other suv.

concave face is when the all the spokes draw to the center of the wheel. kinda hard to explain with words, so here:
the gold wheel is concave or taper as the silver is just a flat face

Tirerack is the most wack wheel retailer in the US. They don't know **** about wheels. I only use them for tires.

That's true, I called them yesterday and it was like talking to an elephant.

Nice wheels everyone that showed! Those RPF 1's are definitely nice looking.

But, I think I've made a decision that if I get new wheels it's going to be Wedssport SA70's in 18x9 and 18x10. Of course, I've thought I made a decision about 5 times now so we'll see.

Haha

Yes tirerack sells Enkei's but they do not market towards the people who want the larger wheels. Probably not worth it to stock up on them because they won't turn them over quickly enough.

On another note, Enkei = awesome! Don't let the prices fool you, Enkei is ISO certified and manufatures wheels for several companies in Japan Cough AME and others

If I drive really hard (for me at least -- I haven't been to the track yet, so it may not really be all that hard), I can get slight rubbing in the rear. I'm probably going to roll (or cut) the fenders, which should eliminate any potential issues.

I'm rtying to figure out why it "looks like" you have so much tire bulge with 255/275s??

Am thinking about running the same setup since I just bought those size tires.. but dunno..
