OEM Stockers vs my new Hankook RS3's both 215/45/17 WoW! Blk RPF1 wheels - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

MarkRacerX · 06-10-2012, 02:12 AM

Tread blocks are soo much wider!!

Immediate Way More Crisp Steering wheel feel/car response!!

I am doing an Autocross Sunday, Can't Wait as I race in May on total Stock setup!

Amazes Everyone all 4 new wheels/tires fit UNMOUNTED in the car!!

I am now on 15lb RPF1's, it's cool they include valve stems w/ wheels!! Can't wait to test setup out for this event

I will have more pics, was gloomy and pouring rain so the dark wheel would just be solid black in many pics.

Just wanted to share a few pics..
Further review of setup to come after Autocross day!

Fantastic choice on both wheels and tires.

Congrats!

MTeator · 06-10-2012, 07:38 AM

How did you find stock size rpf1's? I thought they weren't coming till October.

chulooz · 06-10-2012, 08:33 AM

Looks awesome, I want more pics. Let us know how it all performs. NEEDS center caps!

FakeWhiteMan · 06-10-2012, 08:55 AM

That's the exact wheel/tire combo Im going with.

NESW20 · 06-10-2012, 01:02 PM

but i won't.

bakerr6 · 06-10-2012, 01:47 PM

Where did he say they were the stock size? I assumed they were the 17x7.5 RPF1's which are currently available.

He said he was racing in stock class. If he got the 7.5's that would take him to SP or ST*.

illmatic · 06-10-2012, 02:31 PM

Looks great.

Razz · 06-10-2012, 02:34 PM

I wouldn't have chosen black, but you picked one of the best wheels.

I guess I missed that. All I saw was that he said "I am doing an Autocross Sunday, Can't Wait as I race in May on total Stock setup!" which I took to mean that he raced in May when the car was completely stock. I guess we'll just have to wait until he reports back after the autocross today to see what he thought of the new setup.

My impression from previous posts was he wanted to stay in stock, but I could have misread. I know if I wasn't staying in stock, I woulda gone much wider than the 7.5 & 215's

Miniata · 06-10-2012, 03:03 PM

That would be great if the 17x7 RPF1's are available sooner than the 3rd or 4th quarter I've been hearing. I'll probably just stick with the 17x7 Kosei K1-TS for now though, since I already own them (they're currently on our Forester). I'll be staying in stock (RTR) class for awhile too.

DarrenDriven · 06-11-2012, 10:05 AM

MarkRacerX, can you please post the wheel width and offset?

I was going to go Gold/Bronze as I had a 04 Aspen White STi back in day w/ Bronze BBS and LOVED the Combo, however color options in 5X100 were getting limited so went Black, hides the brake dust good Hhaha

I am member on IWSTI, saw a Post on RPF1 Sale and got 17X8 RPF1's from OAKOS Automotive just over $900 shpd! Tire rack was $11XX shpd !

TIRES ROCK!! Totally feels PRECISE Cornering/Steering wheel response! They really STICK !!! Very Happy w/ Setup

I raced in C-Stock no one minded and that's where Miata's / MR2 spyder were for competition. We don't have SCCA events, they use it as a guide. I took 3rd place

Thanks!

Been horrible weather, rainy week. Finally nice! Sadly unless bright out, wheel area on cel camera is just black. I will get some full car shots this weekend posted!

07stealth350z · 06-17-2012, 04:12 AM

More pics of the wheels on the car please! Full side profile shots. Etc... I am trying to decide If I prefer 17s or 18s in this wheel on this car.

MarkRacerX · 07-03-2012, 12:19 AM

Sadly my nice Canon digital SLR broke a pin for CF card...all I have is iPhone pics and Blk wheels wash out in about every pic it seems, here are a few. We are FINALLY getting Summer like weather and I will get better pics. I had to aim at car then quickly down side before wheels turned blk.

DarrenDriven · 07-06-2012, 01:01 AM

Same wheels/specs, but in gold finish:
