Enkei PF01SS wheels for FD

Looks like these fit the FD perfectly. They're relatively lightweight, too.

Enkei Wheels - Racing Series Wheels - PF01SS

Is anybody running a set of these yet?

Most guys are running the regular PF01s in 18s. But if you want 17s, yea they offer pretty conservative sizing.

Limited sizes, only 17" diameter, widest being 9". I like the lip on the SS, and would have preferred to run 17s all around, but went with PF01 (non-SS) in 17x8.5 +40 front, 18x9.5 +45 rears to be able to run 275 rear street tires (not much in the way of good street tires in 275/40-17 these days).

Thanks, guys. Yes, I'm planning to run 17s... didn't really know the difference between PF01 and the SS (I think it's just the finish and fewer sizes).

SS has a more pronounced lip.

I'm planning to run 235/45-17 all around so 8" width should be ok.

Silver or black would look nice on my Montego Blue FD. Not really sure about the lip... would that make it more fragile against curbing?
