Enkei RPF01

[Benjamin_Button]

Not a lot of people running these wheels and I was just wondering why. Is it because it requires a spacer when there are other light weight wheels readily available in e30 fitment?

[Reichart12]

I would say because its a little pricey for the average e30 owner and that Konig makes a rep of them that are about half the price (iirc).

[TheWipprSnappr]

And drag offers a rep for about $100/wheel but they will require at least a 10mm spacer to clear front calipers

i think they look great

[Balleristic31]

I would run them in a low offset/concave style like on some of the larger 5 lug versions. But all of the 4 lug rpf01s are high offset and convex spokes which is ugly imo

^ +1. FWD offset is goofy on an E30.

15x8 et28 would work on e30 and it weighs like 9lbs... $229 a wheel is same price as ronals pretty much. this thread is kinda skewed

[2002tiiguy]

those are et43 no spacers and sorry, but i dont get the bbs rs obsession and the borbet A's are alright but not my style.

These are a better choice, aesthetically, and would probably clear BBKs. They are 11.3 lbs. The 15x7 (I have on my Miata) are 9.9lbs.

Because people don't really care about wheel weight or quality?

[2mAn]

Some people do. If you really want to make it happen you would. I run 16x7 et35 wheels because they weigh 11# each. They aren't as wide as many would want but with my early body and my ride height 225 wheels are a non issue. I also have custom spacers to make my final offset 25 in the front and 20 in the back.

Most people don't care about unsprung weight...

[2002tiiguy]

I also think that the rpf1 4 bolt wheels are classified as "rice" wheels and that would be a nono on a German car but what do I know. Enkei makes a good wheel that doesn't look like everything else and it happens to fit my ix

[2mAn]

I run SSR's. What people think about your wheels is their problem. They can worry about it as I'm pulling away from them, while my concern will be the next corner

[2002tiiguy]

Psh Noone races with ssr wheels, Ronal teddy bears for the win

[2002tiiguy]

But as far as you pulling away from me, you probably would even if my wheels and tires weighed nothing. 200k mile ix's aren't that fast
