WHAT DO YOU THINK? posts looking for others opinions
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

What do you think the best bang for you buck is for a performance lightweight rim?
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
. 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
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.

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.
