I like them as is, I like lighter finished wheels better though even though its against the trend of dark finished wheels.

It's funny... your two sets of wheels are more or less identical to what we use. Great minds think alike

I really want these but am still worried of them poking too much up front without aggressive camber. I'll probably go with RPF1 in + 45 offset because of this.

Looks awesome. After seeing DracoRex's car with the Weds, I've been sold. Even though all my friends want me to go with something deep looking like the Work emotion CR.

I am thinking about getting this exact wheel but in bronze if available. Bronze+DGM is kinda my thing.

Your car looks fantastic! There's something about these wheels but they look more appropriate on this car than most other 17's (which tend to look small).

I'm on the same fence. Any input on this pcasso? I wasn't planning to go the coilover route so I'm thinking I might not be able to get these.

I like how the light hits the current color... it's not your typical OEM silver and gives off a more premium aura with your white. No need to powdercoat!

Are the pics of your original wheels thread the ones that were coated? Thanks again man you pics really helped in my purchase.

Agreed man, agreed. I love how light they are i cant tell a difference in weight from my RPF1's that are x8 even though these are x9.

Yep but it was worth it, the car feels so planted now through the high speed corners at the track gives me so much more confidence to go full throttle during turn 1 @ harris hill road. Evasive Motorsports carries this wing.

It is the Downforce Aero Lip, evasive stocks it

If you go RPF1's in X9'S you wont be able to clear the AP Big Brake Kit.

I agree with you on the look, these are the best looking 17's for our cars they look as if they were 18's because of the design of the wheel face.

I really dont think they poke out a ton, it looks beefy but good. Right now i am running mild camber being -2 front -1.5 rear i will be running -2.5 Front and -2 Rear next week, ill post some pics to show if there is any difference.

Here are some pics of the front:
