weight might be a consideration here. i think those gt1'a are pretty heavy. not sure about the enkeis, but i know the rp01's were pretty light. also, check on offsets. i find that it's tough in certain brands of wheels to get a proper offset for an fd.

i just checked the enkei web site and it does not appear that you can get wheels with an acceptable offset. you most certainly will have rubbing problems in any of the sizes listed that would fit an fd, especially with an upgraded suspension.

The SSR GT1's are very light... it's the look-alike three-piece GT3's that are bricks.
You can't buy RP01's anymore.
This will probably come down to widths and available offsets. GT1's are only available 9" wide, tops.

GT1 are on average 1lb lighter than the Enkei RP-series, size for size.
I'm trying to figure out if the Enkei MAT is equal or less than GT1 SS Forge.
