I love the exhaust. The grip is what I have now but it hangs lower than the dts. The grip is a little quieter I feel the dts has a better lower end power. It will be on the Dyno this week.

You have to take into account how thick the lip of the wheel is. RPF1s have the downside of looking smaller than they really are, which is why they look fantastic in "18s. Compare a wheel like "17 OZ Ultraleggeras, and at first glance, they look just as big as the "18 RPF1s. Some styles have the illusion of looking bigger than others. That can change your decision quickly. My preference is a wheel that looks bigger, concave spokes that go all the way out to the lip, making it seem bigger. To me, making a smaller, lighter wheel that "seems" big is better than getting a bigger wheel that is more expensive, potentially makes your tires more expensive, possibly screws up your speedo, and adds more weight.

I completely agree with this, I have seen it in wheels I've had. I would love to find a set of 17s that look bigger than they are with a similar weight and price point with a decent amount of lip on them.

By far my favorite FRS on the forum yet. Just absolutely perfect.

Where did you get the carbon fiber splitter and side skirts?

My Whiteout will have these wheels (in gold) thanks to your pictures! Would also like to copy your splitter and side skirts.

You know what they say about imitation!

Thanks guys! I don't mind sharing haha. That's why I built this, for people to see.

The lip and sides are made by downforce. You can email young@frs86.com with any questions about parts and pricing !
