Default Rpf1 or TR motorsports?

In the process of buying a set of wheels. Have an opportunity to get black rpf1 17x9 +45 for $900 or TR motorsports 17x9 +63 or something close for $500. Both with no tires. Which one would u guys get? Both are almost like new, with no tires. Planning to put 255/40r17 all around. 75% street and 25% track/autocross. Which one would u guys buy?

+45 in the front is going to be bad without some fender rolling and some negative degrees of camber

17x9 +45 all around with 245/40. Fenders rolled as a precaution, static camber with about a 1in lower on GC/Koni setup.

I was in the exact same debate 3 weeks ago. Car is used 60/40 for street/track.

Yes I wish I could fit some kind of BBK behind the RPF1s, but I love the look of this.

THe TR motorsports will fit easier, and be able to fit wider tires and have less rubbing/need to roll. You can comfortably run 255 square on the TR's with no rear mods and very minimal front roll and have a wider range of alignment specs that will fit. You will likely be stuck with 245 TOPS up front with the RPF1 even with a ton of camber and a roll... id go with TR's if you care more about function.

17x9 +45 RPF1s are the way to go. 255/225 setup.
