Most beautiful color ever!
I have rad somewhere that those rims were 18 inchers. The beauty of those wheels is that they are light, readily available and fairly inexpensive.

sorry for using your thread but im thinking about buying these wheels and i was wondering if 17x8.5 in the front offset 40 and 17x9.5 in the rear offset 38 work on fd?

patfat; yeah i've emailed him about them .. just waiting for a reply from him now 
thx though!
mistaxko: these wheels are the new hotness eh? and as for your question, i would imagine that would fit fine for the most part. my current setup is 18x8.5,9.5 +40mm for both.. the fronts you may want to roll the fenders though. i've hit the fender lip a couple times now with 225/40 .. that was because of a rolled curb onto my steep driveway though. HTH.

www.good-win-racing.com can also get them in 18x9.5 in 45 offset for those that want that size.

btw, i know with 18x10 you need coilovers / trailing arms, but for 9.5" fitment, anyone running that all around w/ spring/coilovers?

FWIW, here are more pix of the RPF1 on FD's. Have you seen the RPF1-RC? It's a 2-piece wheel IIRC. I'll try to find more pix of it, but they were posted a ton on here. Search RPF1 RC.
The RPF1-RC looks something like this, but there are rivets along the disk of the rim.

RedR1, thanks for the pics! the blue RE looks great w/ those wheels! However, for some reason I cant stand how the front doesnt go inwards like the rears, thus the want for a 9" or 9.5" all around (and also just a general want for a symmetrical setup).
As for the RPF1-RC, i saw a pic of them on AutoRNDs white FC and they look great, but they're also much heavier, and pricier than what I was loking for. Thanks for the suggestion though

A different offset would also give it a little more lip. Contact Rishie from AutoRnD, he'll definately take care of you on rims, and every aspect of them, especially for the Enkei.
