Default Down to 2 wheel options...

I am down to deciding on 2 options for wheels... Concept One's CSL5.5's (19x9 +15f 19x10.5 +20r ) or Enkei RPF1's in bronze (18x9.5 +15f 18x10.5 +15r). My Z is PPW and will have the Nismo V2 front and sides with the TS carbon rear diffuser.

Tire options will be 255/35 front and 285 or 295/35 rear.

Here is the CSL's on a BMW for reference.



Bronze staggerd RPF1's

As for the bronze staggerd RPF1's I cannot find a photo for reference... though I know bronze on white is always appealing.

Opinions?

If I could find pic's of bronze in staggered fitment I could make the final call but bronze seems to be rare on Z's. I've already tore the Enkei thread apart looking.

Gotcha... yeah they are much different than anything you see and I like that. Those are more than likely what I will end up getting. I don't track my Z or autocross so I don't need a light weight track wheel but the Enkei's are a classic.

Get the concept ones and then post pics! I was considering them, but I ended up finding different wheels locally. They look good on the beamer, but I have yet to see them on a Z, so I am reserving my final judgement for now.

Never liked black wheels on white. The disappear too much into the tires and wheel well. Pictures never do justice for that color combo because they are hard to photo due to such contrasting colors. Powder or paint them bronze like hte RPF-1's...bronze is the best color for PPW.

Not sure how all bronze would look on the CSL's with that big rear lip...

The concept ones are basically replica volk gt-f or something.. already been done, nothing original or new about that look. enkeis are classic for a reason... can't go wrong. Probably why theys been in production for close to a decade now....

Going with the bronze rpf1's would be different since very few people if any have them on a Z yet.

Does weight matter to you?

In a way yes. I do enjoy the occasional spirited mountain drive.

Can't beat the weight of RPF1s for the price. IIRC CSLs are a bit heavy.

A bit of both worlds... I really like both wheels since they are different (bronze being def different).

I had bronze on my 05 STI and it was a perfect fit. Wheels are the hardest thing to purchase...
