How are the enkei rpf1's too expensive...they are only 720.000 for a set of 4. thats a hop, skip , and jump away from rota pricing.
and the weigh a staggering 8.8lbs for a 15 inch...i believe a great choice for any daily driver or auto x-er....thats my .02 cents

I was thinking about picking up a set of 15's strictly for autocross & track events for next year, but I would rather not break the bank on the rims so I can still afford some decent rubber.

For example, I love the Enkei RPF1's... but way too expensive. :(

Cool, thanks for the advice I may consider them yet. The best price I have seen them for has been like around 800 for a set, where did you see them for that price?

To be honest I was looking for something like.... er half that price :p. Sorry, my fault. I should have been more specific the price range. Don't really care what they look like, my main focus is keeping them under about 14lbs per wheel.

The ones I have had my eye are posted up below, important to note the prices are based loosely of a Canadian website and are not official in any capacity.

Kobe 15" GT-6 (12lbs) - approx 125$ ea

Konig 15" Helium (10.8lbs) - approx 140$ ea**
**(although some GB's going on that are cheaper right now)

Konig 15" BriteLite (12.6lbs) - Approx 140$ ea
http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...ite_blk_lg.jpg

Kobe 15" LiteRace (11lbs) - 125$ ea
(This one is my favorite pick right now)

If anybody knows of other rims that are low cost and low weight let me know. I am in no rush to buy, these are for next season. I am taking my time and doing the research so I can make an informed decision.

Hmmmm here are a few more, but I dont remember their wheel weights.

Konig Minuz
Rota Slipstream
Konig Kaiten (eBay Motors: 15" Konig Kaiten Matte Black Wheel Rims Civic Integra (item 330167306599 end time Oct-18-07 18:04:59 PDT))

Test - Powder coated black sport rims.
 
Greets all!

First post... Seriously looking into the Fit!
I LOVE the HFP rims - but may not have the extra cash at buy time.
I saw the DIYhonda podcast that replaced the wheel sensors - and that's when I caught a glimpse of the Storm Silver Metallic with shiny black powder coated sport rims - I'm in love! Does anyone know / have pics of that car??

I whipped up a quick Photoshop of what I'd be looking to do:
What do you think?

and I dropped it a little...
Looking good without breaking the bank. :)

New Eagle GT's by GoodYear with 3/4" spacers in the front and 1" spacers in the rear.
They are a lot stickier than the stockers. :)
