Damn, massive contrasting color - love it! Unfortunately not brave enough to do this kind of thing outside of Gran Turismo 5

I'm not really either! They will just be for track/autoX and other random things. The black Grids will stay on for daily duty. I wanted obnoxious colored wheels, just not all the time!!!

Nice, best of both worlds!

I'm in the same boat as you, ordered black RPF1s (weigh less than stock) and will pick up the Grids (same weight as stock) for DD in the meantime. No crazy colours for me though.

Wheel: RPF1 17x9 et45
Color: Traffic Cone Orange

I really wanted some obnoxious colored wheels, but didn't want it for my daily set. So I when I decided to get a dedicated AutoX set-up I decided it was time! Enjoy!

PMok · 04-08-2013, 02:57 PM

looking good!

haha ironic that you took a shot in front of the "SLOW" sign. You should have angled it a little so that sign was clearly visible.

Nice wheels!

How is the change coming from Grids? I believe Rotas are heavier than Enkeis. Any change in acceleration/cornering/response?

I have yet to do an event with the new wheels but they do feel a ton lighter. Where I actually notice it the most is freeway acceleration when I don't take it out of 6th gear. Steering does also feel a lot lighter.

Just what I wanted to hear... My plan is getting Kosei or Enkei by next summer.
Got to use these stockers first.

That color for the wheels is epic!

Which camera did you use to get that angle and footage? I want to get a Contour Roam2 as it seems the best value for simple action shots or to just have a dash cam in case of whatever.
