Enkei RPF1

The enkei japan site lists them in 15x7 4x100 +35 and +41.

They are selling for $205 each at groupbuycenter right now. They will likely be available cheaper than this I would imagine. This seller lists them as 9.92lbs, but they also list a +40 offset so they may not know what they're talking about.

Those are some really nice wheels.
Here is some information from goodwin racing's website:
http://www.good-win-racing.com/goodwinracing_005.htm

15x7, 41mm offset, just 9.8 pounds.
15x7, 35mm offset, same 9.8 pounds.
16x7, 43mm offset, just 13.5 pounds.

Manufactured using Rim Rolling Technology. This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel without the high cost of the forging. Some of the special wheels produced for the O.E.M. high performance or limited production vehicles utilize this type of technology resulting in a light and strong wheel at a reasonable cost. BBS has used this technology for several years in their production of racing wheels for Formula One and Indy cars. Center cap not included but are available.

Thanks.

Good-Win is usually on top of things. I contacted Discount Tire Direct and they wanted $179 to special order them with an additional $10 per wheel "special order shipping charge".

 

If anyone needs 15x7 wheels and can use a +35mm offset, I would suggest the ATS Comp Lites from Discount Tire. They are less than half the price of these Enkeis. The Comp Lites weigh a bit more at 12.1lbs, but are only $100 each now (and Free shipping too). They are made in Germany, have a very high quality looking finish, and they include centercaps. My set that I ordered for my SE-R just arrived yesterday.

Hey Andrew, what is the stock offset for your SE-R?

I know we can't really generalize on fit across different cars, but I've considered the ATSs and never took the plunge because of the thought of putting 35mm offset wheel on stock 45mm car, then wanting to put 225 width tires on top of that.

Well, just curious to see how it turns out.

 

Stock 91-94 SE-R Wheels are 14x5.5" with a +45mm Offset. Sentras in particular need the lower positive offset to push the wheels "outward" because we have struts at all 4 corners - So we need to worry more about rubbing the inside of the tire on the struts...

Do you drive a Miata? (Guessing from your avatar pic...) I've noticed that the wheel fitments seem virtually identical between old SE-Rs and Miatas.
