Nope. It's one of my favorite wheels as well.

I like my Enkei Fujin's. They are different from everybody and fairly light.

Really? I've had friends bend RPF1's on track days. Apparently they don't enjoy kissing curbs or going off track (according to my friends at least, I've never used them).

I wish 949 would make a 17" wheel. Coming from the Miata scene, those were considered legendary by fan boys because of their low weight and cheap costs. Think they'd look pretty damn good on an FR-S too.

They do. Or at least they did make a 17x9 for the NC Miata and S2000, if I remember correctly. I thought I had seen it mentioned that they were going to make an application for the twins as well, but I can't remember the source.

I like the works I'd love to have a staggered set in 18s purely for cosmetics. I bought a set of black rpf1s in 17x8 for the track purely for functionality but the more I look at them the more I love them. Simply put they both look good IMHO if you want to be a baller get the works.

Wheel left the car?! FYI, a wheel by itself impacting a curb is going to do so with orders of magnitude less force than with the mass of a car behind it...

Not saying they're not strong enough, just that wheel/tire impacting curb isn't a real test.

Another wheel option: Enkei PF01 (which looks a bit like the Work CR)

I have these on my RX-7

They stopped listing them online, so I assume they stopped producing them. I'll keep my fingers crossed though

I dunno, I've seen Works mounted next to PF01, and even considered it but the Works look so much better, more concave, more weight, and just cleaner.

I would go with the Enkei's (RPF1)..everyone with the "fast" cars that Autocross in my area have the Enkei's..In my opinion they are the best rim for the money..light, strong, somewhat cheap.

jdzumwalt · 02-10-2013, 07:27 PM

Work wheels are sick I will have a set

Outlawstar98 · 02-10-2013, 08:03 PM

I am getting Work XD9's for street/show set and RPF1's as track :P

619_FRS · 02-20-2013, 03:14 PM

Another vote for Works! That's what I'm rocking.

TRD_86 · 02-20-2013, 03:32 PM

What about Work CR compare to enkei Raijin regarding weight saving and look ? I know the rpf1 is more functional in performance rather than look.
