Enkei RPF1's

[gambitt]

Does anyone know where I can get these in black please? New or used but will probably have to be new seeing as they are like rocking horse poo.

This place sells them:

http://www.performancealloys.com/Enkei_Alloy_Wheels.asp

I've been in touch with them... they can get hold of them very fast if not in stock.

You can also find a few USA Ebay co's that hold these... and they will ship to the UK... but with tax and import duty, not sure if it would work out cheaper.

One of the alloys that I've looked at for my race car... as they are strong and light.. and cheaper than Volks / Rays etc.

They are a lot cheaper from the usa, even with import duty & shipping added on.

I don't think you can get them in black though, they only make silver.

I was looking at these (although the Enkei stickers are missing):

These guys also sell them in black:

Best price so far is $1050 delivered which is £650 + vat and import tax (unless I get lucky) so it could be around £840.

Top ones are the wrong bolt size and the bottom ones have a bad offset :lol:

you need 17x7.5 offset +45 ( i think) and 5x114.3

Out of interest... how did you calc the import tax ??

That's a fair bit cheaper than I'd thought.... my race car builder needs to tell me what size, rim width & offset I need ( I hope we can squeeze 16's on, with the brake setup they are making :green: )

I'm sure the wheels on this pictured below are 35 offset ...

Though they are the ltd edition teal coloured ones. and i'm not sure what the standard offset of the Acura is compared to a DC5-R.

Yes I know, they have them in all shapes and sizes as shops generally do...

Import tax is usually around 10% I think, not sure though. I do know that they charge VAT and tax on the whole price (so you pay tax on delivery as well :roll: )

Those teal ones look very nice! They wouldn't go on my on CW though. I fancy some dark wheels, like a gun metal or dark bronze. I'm concerned that the black ones will look a bit plain.

I have a choice out of 45 or 35 offset on the 17x7.5 RPF1. Which one should I go for? I've searched the forum and most results say 35 is fine.

 

[C&S Evo7]

35 offset will be close on the rear arch, where on this forum does it say it will be fine?, i would defo not advise it,

7.5 et 45 is a nice fit on a dc5, i would say you would have to have rear arch work with a 35 offset.

i can also get enkei stickers for you.

duty is normally 10%, added to the total price paid plus the shipping, then vat added on top of it all
