Default Have to say goodbye to my RPF1s

My wheels don’t work with the bbk I’m putting in. I just Recoated them and for some Honda center caps. It’s a weird feeling, kind of excited, kind of bummed. I got some Advan TC-4s and they do allow for the bbk.

My new wheels: (they’re 17” x9”)


My “don’t work” wheels:







The sucky bit is that the 8” version of RPF1s WILL fit the bbk, but the 9” version won’t.

Did you see that Evasive is having a sale on 17x9.5 +50 TC2's? that's the unicorn sizing too

Just FYI, if you haven't already bought your ADVANs

I wanted to get the dark silver but they were out, so I got Thai color. I like it better thank the dark silver. It add just enough color so the car doesn’t look like it’s in black and white

Looks good! Clears the stoptech with ample space?

Are you on 245/40s? Camber?

Wow! that looks perfect! Mind sharing the exact sizes with offsets for front and back? What's your suspension? I'm buying a black 08 S2000 with stock rims today and I'm a BIG fan of this setup.
