Where to get Enkei RP-F1?

I like the recent pics of these wheels, my question is, where can I get them? I can't seem to find anywhere on the net that has them advertised. I'm interested in the available sizes and appx cost.

It's a JDM wheel. You can't get it over here right now. Have to go grey market.

thanks, Rishie

Where is the pic of them on your car? It didn't show up.
I am looking for 17x8 and 17x9 or 9.5

Any other pics of these to post?

ARD T2,

What sizes and offset are on your car in the pics? I like the way the rears look but the centers on the front bulge a bit. I gotta get these wheels. Cheap, light, good looking.

These might be an excellent track wheel option.

For the FD, you could do the 17x8.5 +40 front, w/ 255/40/17, and 17x9.5 +38 rear w/ 275/40/17.

hmmmm. Do they come in black? Got any used ones yet?

Not in black but I will powdercoat the set in any prismatic color for $200 a set.

The wheels will always be like that in the Front for a standard bodied FC or FD. It is for brake caliper clearance.

I'm running 17,8 and 9 +35.

What's the cost with tires? Or do you not sell them that way. Thanks for the pic I think these are the ones I'll have to get.

Ok here is a question. Why do yours look shiny and some of the others I have seen pics of are a flat silver paint? The ones on the Enkei site have more of the gloss to them like your set.
Man I want these wheels.

They are all teh same paint. It is a very bright silver. Very shiny. Like a newer BBS. It's just pictures or lighting that changes it.

We do offer tires as well. So no problems there. Just let me know what you want and I'll take care of it.

Thanks, Rishie

I need to know specifically what tires you want.

Basically just looking for some price estimates. I have been happy with my Potenzas and have repurchased them. Toyos weren't bad either.

Thanks,
Brian
