Pics Request FC with RPF1's

I've seen a few picture with FC's and RPF1's but can't seem to find any Silver FC's with the SBC or Silver finish. I've seen a few pictures and will post them up shortly for others looking into these rims for this summer.

If the FC's and rims are in different colors I still wouldn't mind seeing the pics.

Thanks Guys!

Me? I got the wheels from Rishie (ARDT2). They were on his GTUs. I have no spacers, and the FC sits on HKS D-Spec coilovers. ..actually HAD no spacers, and USED to sit on HKSs...I sold the FC, and miss the **** out of it.


slowgxl guy wins this thread so far, IMO. That car looks clean as a whistle, and the rear tuck...yum.

I remember seeing that car a few times up at the Krispy Kreme meets in Milpitas years ago, it was very clean. You stepped up to an FD at least though.

I think I'm in love. These rims match the car so well in my opinion. Beautiful. thank you for the nice pictures! I'm going to be going with these sizes when I get them:

Front: 17x9 +22 Offset Tire: 235/45/17
Rear: 17x 10 +18 Offset Tire: 255/45/17

Fender roll and pull.

Won't be getting them for awhile till I scrap up some cash because I just ordered my Apexi Gt Spec.

Any idea of a website that I can get the rim's cheaper and in the sizes I want rather than Enkei?

The white 10th Ann is def the best in this thread , what are u other guys thinking with those other offsets those front wheels are terrible with the turned in spokes. The 17 by 9 with the 22 offset requires the tire to be stretched in the front unless u have a good pull n roll up front .I had to run 225/40/17 with some negative camper upfront on stock fenders to get a somewhat square sidewalk.235 will flat out not work without a serious pull n roll job. 17 by 10 in the rear +18 fits nice.I'm outta the country but I'm sure someone can pull up piks of my set up and post em for me.

I was actually thinking about flying down the Rainey Curve, and wanting a bit more traction in the rear, hence the stagger. I didn't bother with 10 inch wide wheels because they weigh more, tires cost more, and they aren't really needed for the kind of driving I do in the RX-7.
To each his own.

The turned in spokes make more clearance so the big brake kit will fit behind them.


...Now they're on my new car.

How much Roll and pull did you have to do to fit the 17x9's up front? I'm going with the same rim but with stock suspension at the moment. Knowledge appreciated

The pull was not more than a quarter inch. But the roll was more important the 215/ 45 that I ran bridgestone re540s was pulling the lip upon turning . U must roll the lip completely flat on the inside.then do a small pull.I was also running a little neg camper like 2 degrees. Once I switched to the 225/40 I was able to zero out the camber a little.only thing is that size is hard to find in 17 inch.

Hmmm so I am making this out as to fit this rim and tire with Stock Suspension up front that I am going to have to run a 225/40/17 tire with a generous roll and slight pull? It wont have any issues? What's your opinion on my rear tire sizes? Thanks man, I'd like to see pics of your car if you get them some how

I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. When I first saw this thread, your car immediately popped in my head...

I think they are in the winning silver fc thread , I don't know if the stock spring will clear the rim n tire. Never tried on stock suspension .

That's some nice fitment, fitting that tire upfront must've been a bitch. Your front right fender looks a little gray. What happened there? I really appreciate the pics finishline btw

Finishline thanks for posting those piks for me, finding WiFi and using my evo to jump on the forum has been driving me crazy . Yes that white car has the right stuff, we share the same offsets. Im assuming the 245 tires upfront have been showing love to those fenders .

Yo, what are your exact sizes for everything in that picture? I pretty much want my fitment to look exactly like that. They are perfect!
