Nice wheels! Can anyone confirm if the details are silver or white?

Looks white under bright lights, but is actually machined silver... no paint.

well i said i would post pics so here they are, not on the car though and it will take a while before i do, race car build in progress, i am in a wiring nightmare right now.

For those wondering, the inside is silver, it is just machined in fact but under strong light it does kind of look like white. That would be a good place to paint though to give the same accent as your car's color... guess what we will do

anyway, we used to run Enkei RPF1 on our race car but the bolt pattern isn't the same so we can't reuse them, we needed new wheels and decided to try something else.

So here is a little comparo with the RPF1. First, they are both the same spec, just different bolt pattern, 17x9 Et +35

The RPF1 weight 15,6 lbs
the GPF1 weight 16,8 lbs so this is a 1,2lbs advantage for the Enkei.
Price, well the GPF1 is litterally half price.

The finish is good, they are made in China but they still look good.

They are a tiny bit wider. The lip on the outside is thicker and seems more solid. The RPF1 are weak and break easily with such a low weight, let's hope the GPF1 are more solid. GPF1 also have dual tire valves, this will help in the pit taking quick pressure. I wish they would offer them in different color though like silver at least.

Too bad the hub bore isn't correct. Hub center rings are needed from Amazon, which are cheap.

Aluminum hubcentric rings 73.1mm OD to 56.1mm ID. You can put that right into Amazon and it will come right up.

Plastic ones will crack and break easier so I went with metal.

Hello mate, I'm looking to run these alloys too and have been wondering on the hubcentric ring sizes. Can you post up a link to the Amazon product you use pls?

Cheers.
