Default Just got my RPF1's! Questions

OMG, these things are beauties! I am one happy ****!







2 Questions...

Are the RPF1's supposed to come with center caps? There were none in the boxes.

Also, what tires would be the best? 205-50-16 or 205-45-16?

Thanks!

Damn, you have a good eye!

I haven't mounted those yet. Both these wheel sets are for both my CRX's.

I'll call Enkei or Discount Tire and find out if they offer center caps. Any ideas on tires sizes though?

The Enkeis are 16 and they are going on a stock bodied CRX. JDM conversion and with J's Racing Lip.

They do make center caps for the 16" and 17" RPF-1's they are not cheap though..... http://www.good-win-racing.com....html I would go with a 205/45/16 but its really up to you!

Where did you buy the RPF-1's? How much did you pay? I have been thinking about ordering a set.

The best price I could find was $740 shipped. It may be cheaper for 15's.

I got them from treadepot.com

Good service and fast free shipping.

They sold me the 16s at that price because they said they were the last set they had.

Good news is I found the centercaps for 15 bux each!

The caps are indeed made for the RPF1's

They say "RPF1 Racing" on them

Black Cap-red lettering.

Makes me wonder if any honda center caps will work.

I have some tire brands in mind. I'll keep you guys posted

I emailed Treadepot about a set of the wheels. Where did you find the deal on the caps?

I just got the center caps and they do say RPF1 Racing on them.

They are basic looking metal centercaps.

The only thing I dont like about them is that they POP OUT. They arent flush with the surrounding part of the wheel.

I am going to take one down to the local Honda dealer and see if they can match it up with one of theirs.

Man you are running a tire that is to small for your car, tire rack recommends a 205/50/16 for a 16" wheel for a 02-03 EP3 hatch. The 04 -05's came with factory 16" wheels and they had 205/55/16's. You shouldn't have a problem running a 215 width tire on your EP3 they have much more room in the wheel wells. If I were you I would get at least a 215/45/16 like the falken azenis, but that's just my opinion. (Here is an example of that size on an eg https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1136566 ) You should go to discount tire or the tire rack's site to look at suggested sizes though. Bigger tires would make a big difference in your car.

do 215/45/16's rub at all on an EG? I'll be selling my 17s soon and this will be my new tire size most likely...

What are the specs on those? Width/Offset? I've only seen some wild offsets on those wheels... almost non-honda.
