Lightweight Wheel Alternatives to RPF1s??
 

Are there any alternatives to RPF1s that can offer the same functionality (weight and structural integrity) while staying in that relative price range? Honesty, I just don't like them all that much and everyone has them. I want to spend about $12-1500, new or used, and do not want to go over 19.0 pounds.

The problem I'm finding is weight. My first alternative is the Enkei PF01 but for the size I want (18x9.5 square), the difference is about 2.5 pounds per wheel between that and the RPF1!! :suicide:

Everything else just seems to be too heavy...weds, works, and other enkeis. I'm really not a fan of the TSW wheels that are made in 18x9.5.

Is there anything out there that I'm missing?

Thanks for the help.

Enkei NT03

I appreciate it man. If it comes down to the Enkei line, I'll just go through with the RPF1s. I'm just looking for something a bit apart from the norm.

I really like the style of few, thin spokes with a lot of space in the wheel, like the PF01's...the less going on in the wheel, the better. But I'm more concerned about weight and strength.

Thanks though. :thumbup:

Gram Lights, similar specs, similar price.

5zigen or the mb battles/weapons maybe? i dont remember exactly what sizes they offer but they are relatively inexpensive and light weight

TC105-N 18x10.5 +12?

There's also FN01RC 17x10? Can't remember the offsets.

The stock 19 inch RAYS that come on the G35?! You can find those cheap and they're 18-19 pounds...

MB wheels are always popular.

TSW forged are an AMAZING bargain and still pretty uncommon in the racing world for now.

If you don't mind used, Advan and CCW are fantastic track worthy wheels.

Enkei RP03.

Thanks bro. Chris and I have already been talking.

Chris, man I was really close to pulling the trigger on yours, but the more thinking I did, I need to get the wheels down to at least 10" wide, but preferably 9/9.5. Sorry man. Duncan is a very good guy to deal with though. Has he offered anything yet?


Thanks man. I completely forgot about the battles, but I just looked them up and the 18x9.5s are 21.6 lbs. I'm really trying to keep this around 18.5-19 pounds.

Yeah, I was looking at weds, but these weigh in over at 20 too. Sucks trying to have my cake and eat it too. :suicide:

I appreciate it, but I have to stay in the 18s. These are for the track.

Yeah, TSW are the other options right now. Its between those and Enkeis. I have a staggered Advan set up right now, but I want to move to a square set up and don't want so much money tied up in wheels as my car is now pretty much a dedicated track car. Thanks though. :thumbup:


I really appreciate all the help guys. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks a lot. :thumbup:

you can use 17" wheel for track. 17x10 FN01RC + 275/40/17 hoosier R6. But I understand, 18 > 17 when it comes to tire selection/tire size. :)

My bad man. I forgot to mention I have Stoptechs. I'd never get a 17 around those things. And I'm never getting rid of them...I'm so used to them now. I'll just take the points hit. :bowrofl:

Ssr type f in 18x9.5 is your jam.

Peep zilv for a great deal.

Chris' wheels are the best deal you're gonna get on
Local rpf's, and they're basically flawless.

NISMO LMGT-4's in 18" can be had for pretty cheap nowadays if you do some digging

Lightweight and forged at the same damn time :datass:

Definitely my favorite among the numerous suggestions.

I knew you would ;)

My favorite wheels. :thumbup:

18" forgestars are pretty affordable and light

or you could try and find some used SSR type f's
