Help me decide! RPF1 or NT03+M - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MVJ1975 · 03-27-2013, 12:52 PM

Honestly, unless you're a hardcore auto-x'er who just wants the lightest wheels possible, the answer to any X or RPF1 thread is always going to be X, because RPF1s are so played-out.

Of course, this assumes that X is a quality wheel, and in this case, it is.

You made the right choice.

Lol you're better then me bro... I was going to try to hold on for nt03s to have done in candy teal but it would be pushing it too close to the time I would need them on the car, so instead I spent waaaaay more money on a heavier wheel, but definitely is in another class.

You made the right choice

Yeah I was hoping to have new wheels ready for a couple of meets in April so the RPF1's where tempting me but in the long run I would've regret my desision most likely.

I would have waited to, but there would have been no shame in the RPF1s. Theyre a great wheel and in the flat black they look great imho.

I like rpf1's but I've had them on my last two cars so its time for a change.

RPF1 no questions.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Keep it coming!

It's 1lb heavier of rotational mass. Big difference.

The reason why RPF1's are "played" out is because it's light, cheap and although subjective, good looking; of course it will be popular. But you can't hardly call NT03's rare either, esp. in 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

Regardless, you can't go wrong with either -- both are great wheels. That's why I have both on my cars

I understand what youre saying but every other wheel in this price range are 2lbs+ over the rpf1 so 1lb is not a big deal to me, specially if they look better. Maybe if it was a track car and wanted to shave every second I could of my time, but if that was the case I would go even lighter with a forged wheel.

Nice looking rides!
