RPF1s are a great value for money for AutoX. They would still be a great product even if they completely melted after just one lap at the track.
A friend of a friend recently switched from PP wheels to RPF1s and managed to bend one on a pothole within weeks. Now he hates them 💁*♂️
Some of the folks I've met at AutoX and track say that RPF1s are great, but are also based on outdated tech and modern lightweight wheels are stronger.
To the OP: having said that, if you plan to keep the car for at least a few years, you should think about what you optimize for. It seems like RPF1s are great if one optimizes for weight at the least amount of money that's reasonable. IIRC, the next lighter wheel in the same size would be TC105N, which is basically twice as expensive.
What you should probably optimize for however is lifetime per dollar. You might literally be better off buying rally wheels for an STI. Another possible solution is just to accept the fact that you'll bend a wheel every once in a while, and save on shipping costs by buying them 6 or even 8 per order.
