Maybe they look smaller because they are black and don't contrast too well with the tire? I plan on getting the same setup on my WRB BRZ but with gold RPF's, I wonder if they will still look small in 17's.

I just want to say that I keep expanding my wheel options to some other enkei wheels such as the PF01 in black or the TSW trackstars but every time I come back to this thread the choice becomes clear. These wheels in black really are the only choice.

after a bunch of researching for wheels I also chose the RPF1's (in black) due to specs, construction, performance, and value. I happen to like the looks but that was not really a consideration for me

I shared this picture in another thread. but in case you didn't see it, here is a much better one that shows how good the black wheels can look (IMO).

Yes, Nameless axleback. Louder, but not too loud and it makes the rear end look much better.
