Finally got my wheels...Pics...

I have been searching for these and I finally got my friend to sell it to me..Paid $700.00 for the wheels with S02's and a greddy strut tower bar, I dont need the bar though cause I already have one.

Wheels are Enkei RP01 18/8.5 +45 front and 18/9.5 +45 rear..Talk about perfect fitment

The RP0-2s are actually heavier than the RP0-1s, but not by much, ~ a few tenths of a pound in the same sizes.

Hey Mike,

How's it going, thank you for the compliment, yes I will keep it clean, it's very rare that my car is dirty. I am very happy with my wheels.

Nice wheels....hehe.

I don't know why Enkei discontinued them. The RP-02J is not available in good width/offset combinations for the FD.

Thanks Rynberg, you right about the offsets +45 is perfect fitment for the FD no rubbing whatsoever.

I went with 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear, I might go wider to 245 and 275 in the next purchase of tires though.

Those are the exact sames rims I have and I'm running michelin pilots on them. I've had them for 2 years and I've been very happy with them.
