37Z, I wish we could get 17s, but I really don't think they would clear the brakes.

sent him used wheels that the color didn't match on.

I've got the RPF1s on order, they should be here next week for test fitting.

lol they weren't used, they got scuffed up in manufacturing along with a bunch of other orders. They have since changed their manufacturing processs. Most orders got caught in quality control but Dave's unfortunately fell through the cracks and were sent out with the scuffs.

Mike: Can you tell us what size(s) and offsets you ordered? Are you going to f/u with pics, I hope? Thanks.

^^^All of the above aren't very lightweight. SSR Type-F is a pretty lightweight wheel though.

RCZ · 07-22-2009, 05:32 PM

I think type F's would look great on this car as track wheels. But $

Go with Wedsport TCo5N in 18... Aggressive offsets I believe off the top of my head 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 +10 or +12 and come in various colors and ONLY WEIGH 17 pounds!

Like 2000 bucks for the set, made in Japan. Weds do a cast/forge process so the wheels come out super light and super strong... Just a different thought then then typical track wheels.

Also could look at Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 (+15) those only weigh around 18-19 pounds and are super cheap!

Well I'm wondering if a +15 offset with a 245-255 tire would fit flush in the front.. Some people think its going to stick out of the fender a bit.

The owner of the car below rocking Wedsport 19 inch SA55M VERY WELL!
Offset on front is 19x9.5+15 front with a 245 front tire i believe.

It doesnt stick out if you are lowered with slight camber

Personally a +12 to+15 on a 9.5 inch front wheel in my opinion is PERFECT

His rear in the pic is a 19x10.5+15 with a 15MM spacer so +0 offset for the rear

Last time i checked the SP1 was definitely lighter than a comparable BBS LM and the MS1 was almost on par (just a little heavier or lighter, i forgot).

They are all great wheels.

Don't forget about the SSR Type C-RS too.
