Default Enkei RPF1 or RPM2 S2000 Offsets custom

hey this idea was thrown around a bit but then died. so im bringing it back.

i think (someone confirm) that enkei would be down to make some custom order wheels for us if we can get enough people to buy.

what im thinking is:

enkei rpf1s

17x8 +55
17x9 +63



Or even better:

enkei RPM2 or bortex

17x8 +55
17x9 +63



any vendors willing to lead this group buy?

thanks

I've mentioned it, one of the vendors doesn't think Enkei will make them...

Aside from your specifications, the ideal would actually be OEM offsets so you can sell to all the AutoX nuts...

i think that you have a 5mm in offset that you can play with for as autox. but who wants 17x7 and 17x8.5
maybe using the 17x8.5 up front with a +65 and a 17x9.5 in the back

i don't know if there would be enough interest...
looking around, there are so many s2000 rpf1 owners already...

The +45 offsets are fine, just buy them and be happy. The wheels would look retarded with those offsets, they would not be concave in the rears and would just look funny

I am running a 17x9+45 and my wheels fit flush, they dont stick out

My car was at the meet on sat and I dunno if you looked at it but it def does not stick out. I jsut think its ugly when the wheel sits in so far

Heres mine with a 255 and they are flush
.




Now if you actually had the need to run a HUGE tire or jsut wanted to the I could understand wanting a really high offset. I think a 17x10 +63 would be sick

but we all have our own taste so

They look like they stick out a little bit with the +45...but the higher offset wheels look terrible. I hate the S2K offset RPF1's that started being offered last year. Get the +45 and quit worrying.
