I have a cosy place in my heart for RPF1s... it was my first wheel purchase 2 years after my car accident..and i cried a bit cuz i didn't think i could drive again after waking up from my coma.

Not disputing this, but put simply: people want the stupid stickers.

In fact, Enkei can make any wheels that are currently being offered by them in a custom pcd (5x100) and color when their minimum order quantity is met.

the gun metal color you speak of is called "SBC" by Enkei and is special order only.

Do these look gunmetal to you?
SBC = "Special Brilliant Coating", not same as gun metal.

balance is right, they do make a factory gun metal color.

oh god....HREs are stupid expensive and not even that great of a built wheel compaired to others at a similar price range.

Back when i was still tooling at a shop a customer of mine with an R34 GTR came in for a full build through our shop. The set of HREs with tires, while i cant remember the tire or wheel other than HRE's I remember the price as my jaw hit the floor...$8,800.00

merlin2111 · 02-07-2012, 10:44 PM

wholly jeebus that is pricey.

I want Volks for their weight savings. Not because of the brand. I would be happy to get Rotas or other cheap wheels, but they are just too heavy for such a low hp / tq car.

Snoopy made me this and I think the RSM 9 is a georgious wheel! I hope we can get them in Sliver, not really a fan of the piano Black. lol I kinda want the orange center cap like the Prova BRZ

I'm trying to go for a simple look, lol I probably wont mod this car much. The mod bug has left me with my last car lol

Er there are cheap cast wheels that come within 1-2lbs of Volks...even if it's like 4 pounds more, that's like maybe 6 pounds effective after counting in rotational inertia. For thousands of dollars you could lose weight elsewhere easier.

You know Zaku, just noticing, that silver I tried to make, doesnt look too silver. Err sorry, I'll fix that for upcoming chops

Rather than the original Silver on Silver, I made my prefrence, White on Black.
