track wheelsfor DD? - 16" RPF1

gimpy · 04-16-2008, 10:49 PM

I'm thinking of using these for daily driving. A 16" Enkei RPF1 with 205/55/16 Dunlop Z1 on an Si. For track use, I have found this combo to be the best handling and most consistent. Do they look that bad for daily driving use? Sorry for the pic quality, I only had my phone cam on the way back from the track Sunday.

They look pretty small on the car...I think it would look better with a drop.

those looks soo small for DD but they look awesome, are you lowered?

not lowered. Those wheels and tires are super light too.

not a fan of the rims, but if they work for you on the track then who cares?

They do look really small for DD wheels. I know that the RPF 1's have to be lighter than my wheels being 16's (Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's), but TD's have long been used in many different racing leagues. Mine are 17x7 +45, and weigh 17.5 pounds per wheel.

There's a Motegi in hyper black that look alot like those that weigh 17lbs. They look sweet in white too on TW.
