Default RPF1 installed pics!

Here are some pics of the night the wheels went on. I am going to adjust the height when the camber and toe kit is put on I think I'm going to go about half an inch lower but over all I am loving these. I don't know if it's just me but it seems like the reduction in weight even made the steering wheel easier to turn, like the power steering doesn't work nearly as hard. Great set of wheels. Now I have to decide on if I should re-stripe them. ENJOY!!!

Needs more carbon fiber! With I little imagination I think you can get it up to 3,600 pounds.

It looks great. I love the whole "blacked-out" look.

I'm thinking no red stripe either..... but yeh I'm VERY glad I purchased these instead of saving only $300 and getting the Rotas (which i still much like the look of). The tires are 255/35/18 275/35/18 bf goodrich gforce kdw ta2 and DAMN the traction is amazing versus the cheap potenzas I'm used to running. Thanks for the compliments! More carbon fiber indeed.... next comes CF TS hood, Basani exhaust, Turbo XS ECU, and Z1 headers.... can't wait!

Looks good… definitely a “head-turner.” There’s a lot going on with the body panels, but it looks more like a formula car, and your scheme ends up being very aggressive but still tasteful/quality.

You posted the wheel sizes, but what are the tire sizes? They looked stretched (and very attractive).

Great job…

EDIT: Never mind about the tire sizes. You posted the sizes while I was composing my message/question.

Nice setup!
