the new rpf1's





Been wanting these for years, just got them from a buddy for a price I couldnt refuse. I got the Ecsta XS in a 205 50 15, hopefully theyll stick a LITTLE better than the falkens I ran last year, lol. Can't wait for the damned winter to go away now so I can get the steelies and the snow tires off the fit...

Can't say I don't blame anyone who has picked these up. On the Fit, where every pound makes a difference, its was better for me to spend the extra money on lightweight wheels. Every pound of unsprung weight savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20lbs, according to enkei's website. I saved about 16 lbs of wheel weight vs my old rotas. Does that really come out to be like 320lbs of chassis weight???

I LOVE the RPF01 but couldnt find any in the UK.

Had to settle for some NT03 instead

Man those NT03's are pretty nasty. Ive been looking at those for a little bit too. I have to run a 15" though, isn't 17" the smallest the NT03s come in?


Another picture from today sitting in the showroom waiting for a few more weeks to take the snow tires off

I have a +41 offset, closest to stock offset that they offer I think. Here are a couple pictures of me test fitting the wheels on the car, my car is mad salty...

RPF1's are so popular. I didn't like them in 17" sizing, but the 15"'s don't look too bad
