Hey all, this is kinda a technical thing, but not realy. I am going to be buying some new rims soon, and I have been looking between the Enkei RPM2 RPF1, I am probably going to use a 17x7.5 or 17x8. I also have a ? about performance, how much will the larger size and weight affect the handling (I will be coming from phone dials w/ 235/60's) Here are a couple of links-
RPM2's #1 #2
RPF1's #1 #2

 

Which ones are lightest?

 

I believe the RPF1's are lightest. thoes are what I want to get, but in 17x8/17x9.

 

I like the look of the rpm2's a little better, but would go with lightest. I do like the rpf1's a lot too, though
would go with 7.5 wide on NA
unless doing some autoxing

 

I like the look of the RPM2 better, but if u want a lighter rim go with the RPF1.

 

Yeah I was thinking 17x8's cuz I want to do some autoX and some road racing at my local track.

 

rpm2!! all the way those are awsome looking! as far as 7.5 or 8 i would not know but those rims are sweet!

if you want look go with the RPM2's if you want a light rim go with the others

 

Enkei SPEED is the best rim for this car. Too bad they are discontinued and I have the last set!

 

i like the rpm2s #1 and the rpf1s #1

 

Anyone know how much a couple of pounds per wheel will effect power delivery?

 

WEll you should either go 8's all around. Or go with 9's in the rear. This can be done with either rim. I've had both wheels. The RPF1 are lighter and that's why I have them for track purposes. The RPM2 however is a tad heavier but has that finished look to it.

Either of the two are high quality cast like that of Advan. But I'd expand your poll a little to add these sizes.

You can run a 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. If that's to big for you there's always smaller. BUt those wheels will support it on the FC.

We have really good club pricing on the Enkei line for the club guys. Let me know what kind of pricing you got with tires and I'll see what our turns out too. Worst comes to worst I'm sure the wheels are cheaper from us.

someone i know have test fitted a FC with stock suspension setup (eibach springs + blisten shocks)

with Enkei RPF1

17x9 in front with 235 tire
17x10 in rear with 275 tire and no rub

damn!

 

this is awesome, this was the info i was lookin for since i got a 90 gxl, i want to replace the aftermarket wheels that are on it now with the enkei rpm2's. hey does anyone know the weight of them? im goin with either of these:

17X8 5-114.3 35HB $227.00
17X8 5-114.3 45HB $227.00
17X9 5-114.3 40HB $232.00

i want the 17x9 in the back and the 17x8 in front. but which offset should i choose? the 35, or 45?

ARD T2, what is your askin price per wheel?

hah sorry for kinda hijackin your thread j200pruf

 

We have awesome pricing and balancing services for our lines to the club. Please PM me and I'll detail it out.

The wheels are very light. about 17-18lbs.

go there under highperformance. weights might be listed.

 

Rishie, is there really a need to use 9 inch rims on my N/A? Kinda seems like that would be overkill, but I really don't know that much about it. And also how much would kit cost to get 4 falken ze-326's in a 235/40R17?

 

RPM2 get my vote/
