Help me decide! RPF1 or NT03+M

Alright guys I have a dilemma. I entered a group buy for a set of 18x9.5 Flat black Enkei nt03+m's that were due to come in April 1st but got pushed back until may 17th now. Keep in mind that I've been waiting since I first placed the order in January. They offered me Flat black Rpf1's in the same size that they have in stock for immediate shipping. So my question is do I wait for my original order and risk getting the date pushed back again or settle for the rpf1's? I'm really on the fence on this so let me know your thoughts, thanks!

The RPF1 is a lighter wheel and if they're offering it to you for the same price, I would do it. If you're more worried about the looks, just choose the one you like the look of better.

The nt03's are only 1lb heavier per wheel so not a big weight difference.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Keep it coming!

Hahaha these are my top picks too except I would do SBC RPF1s or white NT03ms. The RPF1 is a lighter wheel but like the above said, they're both so light that you might as well go for which one looks better to you.

Yeah SBC looks awesome but at the time of ordering nobody had that available so black it is. Thanks

I really like the NT03 concave, I would get those if I had a choice. But black wouldnt do them justice because they look too much like donuts when the car is moving IMHO.

If you've been able to wait this long, keep waiting. Too many people already have the RPF1s.

RPF1 are SO ugly IMO. You made the right choice to wait.
