Eh... there's a small bit of poke on the +35 without any negative camber... to tuck in mayyybe quarter to half inch -ish of rubber visible from looking at the front of the car head-on... at the top of the wheel wells, but people can run that setup still without rubbing. The natural camber with the drop in the rear will work itself out perfectly.

Has anyone here switched from a 18x9.5 wheel to these?

I've got Gramlights right now, and they're fairly heavy. I like how they look, but they make the car seem super sluggish.

Is it worth the switch to these RPF1's?

Steering feel will be better. How do you use your car? If you've got 57dr or the such, a switch from those to 17x9 rpf1's should be around a 7-8 pound weight saving per corner in wheel weight alone.

Has anyone tried these centre caps from Flatout Graphics? I'm thinking about purchasing a set.

You can choose the colour of the Enkei sympbol. They're made from plastic with a metal retaining clip, but they look alright for the price.

Pulled the trigger and purchased a set with the red enkei logo for my black RPF1's.

I'll post some pics when I receive them.

nice. I'd like to see this with less flash on there or subtle daylight. Looks vampiry though, rock n roll!

Jesus. I thought my RPF1s were bright.

Finally gave the car a wash today so I thought I'd post some pics of the wheels with the flatout graphics centre caps on.

Overall I'm pretty pretty happy with the result. They look like they're made by Enkei, but look less conspicuous than the chrome RPF1 centre caps that Enkei actually makes.

This is a repost from the official rpf1 thread...

For those wondering how much the 17x9 +35 weighs....



Used a bathroom scale (bought November 2016). The center cap was mounted on the OE wheel as were some weights from getting the wheel/tire balanced.

For those wondering how much the said size pokes with 245/40 MPSS....







The car has been dropped by -1.2". Rears were 3mm/ .19" higher.
Camber out back was -1.7 with a 1/16" total toe (1/32" per side)
Camber up front was -2.0 with 0 toe.

I'd say that the lip of the wheel is pretty flush. The top of the tires tuck into the fenders. Some people would say that the setting sits flush. I say otherwise. There's a sidewall poke...though the tire treads tuck into the wheel well.

Edit:

My steering wheel was straight when I took the photo so there shouldn't be any more/less poking going on in the shot(s).

..................

For those wondering what having the 17x9 +35 with 245/40's on -2.0 camber up front....0 toe. Steering wheel was straight for the shot. I'm dropped about 1.2" from Tein Flex Z's. Everything else is stock. No additional camber bolts and what not.











Note the angles of the shot. The fender doesn't go straight down...it's angled...you can see how the tire tucks in relative to the angle of the fender's flat part.

Nice find! I'd have rocked those instead of the OEM Enkei caps, especially for the price!
