They are weds tc105n replicas but I think that color combo is great, get some 225/45's and springs and you are good to go.

That is a nice color combo. I was looking for bronze rpf1's for my ultramarine. The gold is too much, and I don't like the black.

There are a few sets of 5x100,17x8 45 bronze rpf1 floating around, The last time I found a set they were 270 per.

I agree bronze over gold for sure, my problem with the rpf1 is just how small they look in 17". That enkei nt03 a wheel I used to hate looks awesome on wrb blue also.

I'll see what I can find I'm still waiting on a return pm so I can get my vendor account going.

yah thats how i felt about the rpf1s, i think i might do the titans or rota SDX in sports bronze, question im ordering RCE yellow springs soon and it drops roughly an inch. my question is since they are 17x7.8 what offset would i need to compensate for the drop if i need to change the offset that is.

do you know if we drop the car would it need a different offset or can you just get the same rota titans with that 17x8 +45 and lower it ?

Also, i have a question which i didn't want to make a brand new thread for-- What is the smallest diameter wheel that will fit over the stock calipers?
probably 16s since people get 16" steelies for winter and they fit idk if a 15 will fit over them though they might.

That offset would be fine, I would prefer a +35 but I don't know what they offer in that wheel.

8" +35 is what I call conservative flush, no poke at all if lowered.

Use the offset calculator in 1010tires.com but yes I would go with that size and 225/45's.
