I don't see or hear too much about these wheels. Light weight and apparently from some reviews I've seen there very strong. The 17x7.5 are only 15 lbs. They can be had for around $200-$230 each. Why don't I see more of these on Subies? http://www.enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/RPF1.html
I've heard their decent wheels. Don't know a whole lot past that. I'm not really sure why they aren't more prevelant on subies.
a few guys an nasioc have them, they are great lightweight wheels that aren't all that pricey. i've been considering them as my next set
They are great looking lightweight wheels..... but they apparently don't have the gold in 5x114.3 And the silver in 17x8 is the wrong offset :wtc: I also heard that big lip makes the wheels look about an inch smaller than they really are..... Guy with 19" RPF1's on IWSTI
Yea, they seem to me to be the best deal going as far as strength to weight. I'll probably go with the silver when the time comes.
CK02WRX has them on his Aspen WRX and I think they're hott. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=822759
I put balck Enkei J-10's on my suby They are Great, light weight and Strong, I have always been an enkei Rim lover.
Slightly OT but aren't the Spec C wheels made by Enkei? Pretty sure they are.... $2000 for a set, but man they look good..... even the stupid center caps are like $130..... The more brake dust I have to scrub off the more I'm disliking the stock BBS...... at least they look good when they're clean (which isn't often....) :drool:
Dunno...... I checked JapanParts.com after I posted and they indicated that they are made by Enkei..... who knows?
yes enkie does and all toyota rims as we'll, But I could of sworn that prodrive made subaru rims besides BBS
I wouldnt pass Subaru for chosing Enkei. I am surprised they didnt use a BBS wheel though, thats basically been their choice for the newer body styles. I believe Rays made the s202 rim.
Prodrive doesn't make rims, RAYS makes Prodrive wheels. Enkie makes rims for BBS as well. Google it......
So I see you popped your STi's cherry over at little talledega with SS?! Awesome! Are you track hooked now? How was the day anyway, prob pretty insane with only a few cars and most of the day to burn :wiggle:
But of course, been there 3 times now and been loving every minute of it! I am going to try to make it out to RA over the summer :sx:
We neeeeeeed to coordinate so we hit up RA on the same date!!!! Which club are you more interested in? I've been up there with the PCA (porsche), and you saw me there at photo day with panoz race school... But BMW club, and NASA also run events 2..... PCA have some good instructors, but panoz will release you solo and you can bring friends in the car, which is fun... check this out: http://www.trackschedule.com/sched.html Matt
Version 7's! So that's what those are. What size were these made in. Is the finish durable? Who made them? How much do they weight? Forged or cast? I like the gold Enkei's but if those could be had in 17" I'd have to consider them.
I guess your talking about me, so I'll answer. They were only made in 17's. The finish is the same as the oem wheels. Enkei made them. They weigh about 17.5 lbs and are cast not forged.
Nice Nice looking rims. I bet they'd look good on my WRB wagon. I'll for sure consider those when it's time for tires/rims. Thanks
