RPF1's (polish finish) CHEAP!

Ok guys, I found a vendor who will sell us RPF1's SBC finish in 17x7 for $1,156 per set of 4 (FREE SHIPPING)! We need 10 people with sets of 4 to get the deal. Reply if interested.

Members who are serious about these:

1) lowkeymods
2) Shu
3) Dookoo
4) Blukara7


Pics showing color, not size:









Bad News: These have to be custom made by the factory and could take up to 4 months from the time the order is placed to arrive. Also all the sets need to be the same size.

Good News: You are getting a sweet looking, RARE FINISH, performance based wheel that is actually lighter than the other finishes.

I would like something in the 30's but figured the group could decide/compromise from the following: ET30/35/43/45

I'm in if this gets finalized before the end of January, with the understanding it could take a few months to actually get the wheels. I'm looking to throw a new set of wheels and sticky summer tires on the car when the weather warms up.

I'm interested in the +43 or +45 offset.

And, by the way, thanks for organizing. That's a great price for some great performance wheels.

1/2 lbs. less than standard: Enkei RPF1, 48mm offset 5x114, 15 pounds SPECIAL SBC FINISH for MX5, 17x7.5 So based on this...the regular weight of 17x7 +43 is 15.15. Subtract 1/2 lbs. and you get 14.65 lbs.

For those wanting 17x7 +43 here's a pic of size, not finish...I could do this:

I'm in for 17"x7 with 35-41 offset. I'd also be interested in a different offset and just add Ichiba spacers as needed. I normally don't like rims to be so shiny but on that blue Fit, they really stand out.

I hope we can still make this happen. Im willing to go to five wheels if that ups our chances.

Count me in.
