Default S2ki Offer on Enkei RPF1 17" Wheels

Due to our race program next year we're ordering in a fair few sets of Enkei RPF1 and some for resale we can now constantly get these with a maximum lead time in most cases of 10 days.

If you don't know about Enkei RPF1's these are THE motorsport wheel and are around 1.5kg lighter per corner than your average Rota/Team Dynamics. The fact you're removing unsprung weight exaggerates the weight loss further and equates to taking around 8kg out in terms of sprung weight from the car on each corner. This weight save will not only make your car feel lighter on it's toes but it will also help to maintain tyre temperatures and improve braking as the rotational mass is easier to slow down.

This weight loss coupled with one of the best wheel designs in the world makes these a fantastic set of wheels.

Due to what we're buying in we can offer these at 10% off UK retail prices.

Prices on sizes - Wheels priced individually

17x9 available in ET45 or ET35 = £245.25 per wheel
17x8.5 available in ET40 or ET30 = £232.66 per wheel
17x8 available in ET45 or ET35 = £225.15 per wheel
17x7.5 available in ET48 or ET45 = £212.14 per wheel

Some pictures fitted to S2000's - Please note with a 25-30mm or so drop and negative camber in the rear of -1.5 or more these will fit without rubbing on a 17x9ET45.

My heart say go for it so much,

My bank balance says oh not not more S2000 bits

Just out of intrest and if i can part with my 08 Wheels fast enough,

17x9 45 and 17x8 45 on a 20MM drop with 225 and 255 AD08s? Nice fit or need a bit more camber? (Can find my Geo settings to be 100% but my Honda box is burried under just about everything else i own right now )

Do they only come in silver? With Caps? Any pictures on a Yellow S?

Going to have to have a really serious think about these,

Really really like them

What are the tyre widths and offsets to keep the car looking standard without the wheel hanging out the rear arch? Would that be 17x8?

Is it possible to have photos of each offset/width wheel to show the difference in concave and lip?

Or would you have the different sizes in stock so one would be able to see them in the flesh?

Some answers to peoples questions -

On a 20mm drop you should be more than fine with those wheel and tyre sizes.

If you can find your GEO settings that would useful to give you a better idea.

They only come in silver however we can get them powdercoated for an extra £100 through a guy we use a lot and his work is great.

Also I must point out they don’t come with centre caps, however a set of push in caps can be bought for around £20 off a well known auction site. We may even buy a bulk of these and send them with the wheels if people really want caps with them.



To gbduo

It’s subjective on what you think would be classed as hanging out I suppose.

In relative terms a 17x8 ET45 will sit in almost an identical position to a OEM facelift rear wheel.

A 17x7.5 ET45 front would again sit in a very similar position to a OEM front wheel.

Hope this helps.

These are great wheels!!! You´ll find all the pics you´ll ever need here https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/797...1-thread-pt-2/

And if your going to get these, you can get them much cheaper from the US even including shipping and tax, i payed 1100 dollars for mine and 43 pounds i think for import duty for 4 17x9 +45 in silver so about 730 rather than almost a grand! or get Hel to match the best price u can find, if they will

I know they have been done to death, but still one of my favourite wheels for the S2000. Was initially interested until Grandmer piped up.

I'd love it if US import duty was as little as 43 quid for $1100 worth of imports....but thats a whole different debate. This thread wasnt set up for 'i can get them cheaper' but hey ho, we can do them at the price advertised, if anyones interested please get in touch

Well it depends what "value of items" the seller puts on the paperwork Thats how i paid 43 pounds. And it´s not as if it was unsual for me to ask to put a low value.
Anyway I didn´t mean to go off topic, just trying to save people quite a bit of money. Sorry
