Sorry for the delay. I knew the pics would speak for themselves. I like some of the design aspects of the stock wheels better, and I like some things about these better. But you cannot argue with the weight improvement.

The Enkei RPF1 is definitely not the most "stylish" wheel, but that's not why I personally chose it. Like you mention, they're light, but they're also a genuine racing wheel, used by a good number of road racers. That alone makes them sexy, as far as I'm concerned. I watch as much road racing on Speed as I can get, and seeing these wheels on my car gives me a woody. Having "blingy" wheels may be fashionable, but having wheels that remind me of a road racer is far, far better.

looks good.

nice...they will look better if you get big drilled brakes and lower the car a bit...but the rims are good

Ix-nay the drilled brakes. Not a good idea on a street car. Slotted? Fine. Drilled? Just begging for cracks.

Lowering would be good, though.

im not sure about the "torque steer is more pronounced" part....its alrite bad as it is.....with bolt on performance parts add more hp/torque....too light might not be a good idea..!?

they do look nice tho....

I don't like sorry....I am in search of rims and maybe thinking about poweder coating the stock rims a gun metal???

Thanks for the compliments. As far as lowering goes, I learned my lesson with that on my Miata I had for 5 years. The car is low enough. I like suspension travel! (yippy)

No worries. I think more people should speak up when they dont like something!
