17x7 RPF1s are coming!!
...in October! Sorry guys. I was really excited to see that there was hope for stock class autocrossers needing a lightweight 17x7 RPF1 wheel. unfortunately they won't be available to ship from Tire Rack until 10/12/12. Does anyone know if they will be available anywhere else earlier?

I know a Enkie dealer personally. Email him with what you want (size, width, offset) at greg@gtmotoring.com . Youll get them a lot sooner and cheaper than tirerack im sure.

I got the same story on availability from a TireRack sales rep. FWIW, he also said that this wheel would be available in two colors (silver and black) and that it would be exclusive to the TR.

All rpf1's come in those colors lol. Tire rack is a rip, bring lube. Also the NT03+m come in the same sizes and a much better looking enkei imo. A little heavier I believe though.

I really like the RPF1's, I've had them for my Miata and my Mustang, but for now I'm probably going to stick with Kosei wheels for my BRZ. I have a set of K1-TS in stock size that were on our Forester that I'm going to swap onto the BRZ when it gets here, and the new Kosei K4R is lighter and cheaper than the RPF1 will be.
Any idea what offset the 5x100 RPF1's will be? Enkei makes them in 45mm, 43mm, and 35mm in other bolt patterns. |

Thanks. The offset is better for stock class autocrossing on the Enkeis than on the Kosies, at 42mm vs 50mm. That 8mm could make the difference between rubbing or not when trying to squeeze a wider tire under the car.

I'll post pictures when mounted. Since I'm running RTR for now, I've got the 215 size RS3's. They're almost an inch wider in treadwidth than the stock tires.
