Default Enkei RPF1 Wheels



Aside from the fact I just like the way they look, they are also
pretty light; just under 10lbs per rim. Anyone have any experience
with these wheels? Productive comments are appreciated.

I was quoted a price of 950.00 for a set.
So I guess I am somwhere within expected
price range. Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

These are not forged. They are cast with "Rim Rolled Technology" which is supposed to add strength.

Best price I have found is $775 shipped:

Rim roll technology can also be referred to as roll forging, and is therefore a subset of forging.

Instead of stamped from 13million pounds, it's rolled. For a street car, I am positive it will hold up to pot holes and such.

Cheers,
Sean
