That sounds very good!

LSD motorsports... paid £80 tax on my 17x9 sbc rpf1's also bought my other rpf1's from them when I had my civic and bought a invidia q300 from them, was far cheaper every time.

If you do buy RPF1's, buy these center caps

very nice quality for the price! and fit perfectly.

Don't listen to the nay sayers, I bought mine from Top Speed motorsport in Fort Worth Texas, I got hit with some customs charges but I ended up paying about £100 less than I could get them for in the UK and I got the fitment I wanted. $1300.
I think it was about £850 odd all in including shipping, center caps and customs charges.

One more happy buyer from LSD motorsport
Think it was under £800 all in, using really fast UPS shipping.

just be aware on these, you may well need rolled rear arches to avoid rubbing even at the highest offset available on the 17x9.....nice wheels tho
