Heavier but you have a wheel that is very strong in comparison. RPF1's bend all the time.

According to what people have said, 17x10 +45 will fit BBK and due to the RP03 wheels design, they have way more brake clearance.

Yup. RPF1 is a great wheel, but it bends and has problems with BBK clearance. I'm trying to find something that works for both BBK and non-BBK people. If I see that people are more inclined to get RPF1 17x10 +45 and are mostly non-BBK people, I'd be happy to make a custom order.


Im in for either as well. If RPF1's I'd be buying some spares since I've bent two of the 17X9 already.
Yup.... this is why I vote for RP03 wheels in the size that everyone has been asking for:

I'm leaning more toward the rp03 even if it is heavier. I figure the wheel will last longer AND based on the spoke design, should clear most bbks.

Btw, what're we looking at as far as cost per set. And, once the run is done (if it goes through) how easy or hard will it be to get a replacement wheel?
Pricing is going to more than fair compared to what on the shelf, cause we would be ordering in a bulk custom wheel package. Replacements are easy because THMotorsports has full rights to this wheel and no one else. We will have plenty of extras and the ability to get more. If your worry was that these would break/bend and need more, this is what were trying to avoid. The wheel may be heavier but it is strong as hell and in the right sizing S2ki has been asking for.

Wondering this too. Will we even be able to get replacements?

14) aristoi - 1 set prefer SBC, then silver, then black.
Why no love for the STR size and offset? I guess 14-16 sets is not worth it.

Enkie might think they have a solution for this request, the PF01 17x9 +60 but it is somewhat heavy 17.2lbs, cast construction, and about $300ea.

I'm on board with 17x10+45 RPf1s but I don't want to put my name on the list yet as I'm uncertain and don't want to commit to anything.

ENKEI RP03 = 17x10 +45

OR

ENKEI RPF1 = 17x10 +45


I say the RP03's make the most sense cause your not going to have brake clearance issues and it's a very stout wheel.

The RPF1's in a +55/60 just can not be done. I'm sorry. We have to stick to wheel molds we have here with slight modification. Speaking with ENKEI, doing a 17x9 or 10 with a high offset like 55 or 60 is something that actually much tougher to do. We can revisit this another time.

EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT 17x10 +45 ..... How about a large custom run of ENKEI RP03 in this?


Thank you!!
^^^ See that. I'm guessing that it's probably going to require a completely redesigned mold to do that. It seems that the 17x10 +45 will only require a "slight" modification to one of the pre-existing molds.
