Default ENKEI RPF1 hub centering rings

Anybody running these wheels? Did you install the hub centering rings? Could not get ring on front wheels with alignment pin.

I put mine on without. Not sure was good idea.

'03 Touring, 6 spd, ENKEI RPF 1 - 18X8.5 / 18X9.5 with FALKEN 245/40 - 275/40

Just pull out the alignment pin. It's just there for the the factory install.
Yes- you need the hubcentric rings installed. Don't drive around to much or to hard without them.

And if you got the Enkei Plastic rings, and would rather have a set of Metal ones, let me know I've got a shitload. I might even hook you up 4 free if you can take some pics of those 18's on the car.

Where are people buying this wheel? I'm looking for something cheap for AutoX, and this and the RPO2-J are in my list of things to look at.

Just my pride--few scratches and a stiff neck. God takes care of babies and idiots!

Nice curvy country road-too fast. Setting up line-went in too high-right rear into the soft stuff (think I was off by 1/2 tire width). Almost saved it--guess I'm not as good as I thought.
