Cossie was selling his set awhile back. Not sure if they're still available? Solo II is about skill more than it is about hardware. I routinely get my butt whooped by weaker cars driven by much better drivers in SM-2 (I suck @ autocross LOL )

I am also interested in some RPF1's. I am having trouble finding these rims in a bronze color, I have only found them in silver and in the wrong sizes. Anybody else know where to find these rims?

5x114.3 is only in Silver and 5x100 can come in Gold. I have a connection for you guys. Let me know. They can have them powder coated for you guys to acheive the desired color.

Another insanely lighter wheel is the AME Tracer. which we displayed at IAS this last weekend. I'll post pics if you guys are interested.

Any prices on sizes? Silver would be fine, But I have a picture of an RX7 with Gold RPF1's, so they have to come 5x114?

The tracer's look very similar to the rpf1's, but the lip is not as noticeable, but aren't they quite a bit more $$$? Or am I thinking of the wrong rim?

Cossie got those from sales@autornd.com. They are pretty tight with Enkei. I think he does them around $1150.00 shipped with muteki nuts and hubrings for club guys, but not sure if he is still doing club discounts. Always worth a shot.

Offsets for those widths is +40 front and +38 rear.

Peace.

There is another wheel that is also very very lightweight made by Enkei for another Japanese company. Called the AME tracer. This wheel is super light. I'll see if I can get a picture of it for you guys.
