i believe they have a more concave face since the wheel diameter is smaller, making the spokes a little smaller, giving them a more concave look.

i cant wait for the wheels to come in already. uggghhh.

and from what i hear is that the face on the 18's doesnt change from 9" and 9.5".

Yeah, I just looked it up. The 17's will have a more concave look. Booth look dope, though. The 17's look more classic. The SBC 18's just look F***in' classy.

my brother has 17x9 rpf1s on his 08 SI, side to side, the concave differences are microscopic, you would literally have to use tape measure to notice, lol

LOL. So it's irrelevant. Soooo, Chico - really quick off topic question. If you bought another lip, would you rattle can that one, too? I'm thinking about going the same route. Yours looks good.

CleanFMtC

They both look real nice, i really don't care about the concave differences, I personally went with 17s cause the tire prices would be much cheaper. Jasper did you get the 18s?

paul_dezod

From a guess, about 2-3

The SBC look exactly like what's pictured on the thread in page 7.

Brian, I can get you RPF1s in 17x9 5x114 in the following offsets and colors:

22 5x114.3 17 9 Silver Paint
35 5x114.3 17 9 Silver Paint
45 5x114.3 17 9 Black Paint
45 5x114.3 17 9 Gold Paint
45 5x114.3 17 9 Chrome
45 5x114.3 17 9 Silver Paint

Make it soon. I think there is only 1 set left.

Exactly. It's about 5-7mm difference

paul_dezod

Confirmed.....

1 set of 18x9.5 left.

Anyone have any pictures of a tC running a 255 or 265 tire?

paul_dezod

18x9.5 are sold out. Still have 4 sets of 17x9s left.

paul_dezod

Pretty sure Dan was running 255 in this shot



I also have some pics with a customer on the lift with 245s coming soon. Need to upload.

My gold 17x8 BBS own your RPF1's. That's why I asked about 17x9.

ninja edit: I need 5x114.3 and to clear STi calipers.

1989menace

you win Mr baller with bbs wheels lol.my mistake...i didnt see the last pg where you were asking for 17x9 in 5x114 just thought you were looking for a specific set to buy in gold since you asked about gold ones on this pg...i figured i would give you a heads up and be nice since im sellin mine...and what randomly makes you think there gonna have a set of a custom rpf1's 17x9 in 5x114 when enkei already produces those specs?... here you go buddy search some more next time
