I only see a ~$200 price difference, but hey. Both are, by all accounts, really good wheels. I believe the 57CR are heavier, which may be a good thing for your goal. Either are excellent.



The other thing to remember is that, when you get into racing, wheels become a wear item. You hit curbs, rumble strips, etc. and over time they wear out. Sometimes less time. Bending a wheel means it's not garbage; the cheap stuff cracks or shatters. Another wheel to consider on a bit more of a budget is the 949 6ul. A bit heavier build than the RPF1. You'll still bend it on a hard curb hit (honestly, you're likely to bend any wheel if it's hard enough).


I run TC105n (note, the TC105x is the new version of this... anything 'n' is old stock, if it's actually even in stock...) and 6ul. Prefer the look of the Weds, but from inside the car I can't see that...
