RPF1s also come in 15s. Just comes down to whether the distributor will stock them. http://www.enkei.co.jp/wheels/racing/rpf1/

I bought my 15" RC T4s in from Japan because I couldn't find anything suitable in a 15 and the dealers just weren't interested.

Uh, no I meant the re002s are good value and the Toyos aren't cos they dont last half as long.

Wow much much cheaper than RPF1s and in a wider rim and slightly heavier than 6ULs

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 10:29 pm

yeah i know they look like the go...not sure on black tho..bit of a silver fan or maybe the bronze colour.

so do i get black, bronze or silver?

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 12:04 pm

have narrowed it down to these 2x ..who likes what?

punkoutnz · Post by **punkoutnz** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 12:31 pm

Option B.

Flat Out for sure
Other one looks like a cheap RPF1 at least the Flat outs don't look like a cheap volk they look like a good copy volk haha

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 2:19 pm

i think i am leaning towards the flatouts as well as the offset is a bit better..25 against 20 and they are a bit cheaper as well.
Have gone off the rpf1s as the dish is really small and even worse on the 16s..they just dont look right.

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 3:00 pm

What's the dish?

I am not sure in actual measurement but its a lot deeper than the rpf1s.

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Tue Nov 06, 2012 9:48 am

about to send me paypal request for the flatouts and silver or bronze?

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Tue Nov 06, 2012 10:23 am

Bronze for the tough look. Silver for a clean look.

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Tue Nov 06, 2012 10:34 am

I like bronze with a red car. Not sure about a white car but there are plenty of bronze NBs with white wheels so I guess you just imagine those photos with the colours swapped?

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Tue Nov 06, 2012 10:56 am

i guess i will play it safe and get the silver and can always change the centre colour at a later stage as like a polished lip etc.
still have a day to decide before i pay.
happy with the price and will be smack on $1000 including freight,gst.

wheels have been paid for

$980 for wheels, mutaki titanium coloured lug nut set, chrome valve stems, and the concentric hub rings delivered..prity happy with that and big thanks to LSD Motorsport in good old US of A.

SLYDIT · Post by **SLYDIT** » Thu Nov 08, 2012 7:48 pm

def the flat outs.....

BUT

make sure the mag you are buying actually looks like the one in the pic.
there have been many instances of wheel places showing pics of say a 15x8 20 or zero offset, but the only one you can get for the mx is a 45 offset for instance...of course they show the zero offset in the pcs because they look better.

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Thu Nov 08, 2012 9:43 pm

i have seen pics of the 25 flatouts(they only do 25 in 15s) and they have a nice lip..not to deep and not to shallow...they have sent me a shipping number already..might be here next week

I am looking for new wheels so would be keen to know your all-up price incl gst & duty if you would be so kind!

malcster · Post by **malcster** » Mon Nov 12, 2012 9:41 pm

for the wheels and freight it cost $900nzd as the good dudes they are (lsd motorsports) put a lower value on the docs

..also got some extended wheel lugs and chrome valve caps and the eccentric rings so about $980 all up.

WideOpenThrottle · Post by **WideOpenThrottle** » Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:05 am

Cheers but do you have the wheels in your hot little hands and have you paid NZ customs and NZ gst yet? is what i really mean...not what you paid LSD.
