Maybe a minor stretch on tires?

stretch should do it... but it would cause me to be spinning when I go to the track

I am by no means whatsoever trying to rain on anyones parade...but I have completely missed out on the appeal factor of these rims. I mean I honestly dont understand why so many people dig them. Are they like the cragars of the tuning world or something?
I dig the type RC's... but the plain ol rpf1's just do nothing for me. Dont get me wrong... I understand jumpin on some sweet 17x9's...and I know ,"well thats your opinion"..."you suck"...and "you just dont get it" are coming, but I just dont understand everyone jumpin on these specific rims. What am I missing here?

Its a light and durable rim. For the cost and spec, its definitely the best bang for the buck. I assume you don't watch any motorsports do you? Because if you had, you would understand why the RPF1s are one of the most used rims.

Well me personally I like the style of these. As more the many sets I have RPF1s are the most classic and appealing.

If you don't mind, what type of wheels do you have?

As far as the functionality...i totally get that. I just didn't get why they are so popular. I didn't take into consideration that people may actually be using them on the track. Just thought they were "in".
-No, I don't watch motor sports.
-And I am rockin a pimpin set of stockies.

^ popular because= super lightweight, durable, affordable, nice looking.. used and got known throughout the aftermarket scene and motorsports.. If you look at rpf1s on other cars, they look pretty mean.. aggressive offset+ huge lip, its just our cars doesnt allow us much of those nice specs

quick question, could we just pay the $300 deposit first and when the rims are finished then pay the rest before they mail us the rims?

Domo

iTrader: (3)

yes, I believe so but if you decide to change your mind, the money is non-refundable.

^x2 The deposit of $300 is non-refundable.

In that case count me in for the group buy.
