Enkei RPF1. What size on EK4?
I have just bought an EK4 and I want to get some RPF1 wheels. I'm just a bit unsure of what size to get for best looks and performance. I know most people use 15's on the track but I won't be doing any track work so i'm thinking 16's will look better. I'm also confused about the offset. I don't want them to scrub so maybe 16x7 +35? Please let me know what is best and post pics and info if possible.

Even if you're not running it at the track i'd still recommend 15's. They look good, they're lighter, tires are less expensive, the wheels are less expensive, and they give you a comfier ride. I used to have 17" rims with 205/40/17 tires. I regretted it for the longest time and finally got some 15's. I will never go bigger than 15" again. 16's have nearly the same amount of cushioning as the 17's. The 15's seem to have a lot more.
Learn from my experience, 15's ride the best, and are the most practical. Also, IMO 15's look better than 16's. Bigger is not always better.
You want around a +40mm offset for either 15" 16", or 17", as long as the rim width is 6.5"-7"
To sum it all up:

I have been offered some Sprint Hart CP in 15x6 +40 in average condition. How would these look on an EK? I have checked the Sprint Hart thread but most guys are running CPR's.
