Does anyone have Enkei RPF1's on their G sedan? It's a popular wheel choice, but haven't seen that many people have them on the car.

As some of you know, the day before I was supposed to take my Nismo Rays off, a valet service (stupid I know), curb rashed my front passenger side rim.



So there are a few options on the table at the moment, not only because I want another set of wheels, but because I need to have these fixed and would like a second project for the upcoming summer.

Also, I have a terrible lower back, so I'm looking to have fatter tires and downsize to an 18 instead of the 19 inch Rays.

To start, here's a photo of jigthk's car, but wasn't sure if his were 18's or 19's.

I've seen a few on sedans. Let me see if I can locate a pic or two.

They do look good. Not as popular as the PF01 it seems. Either way, as I'm sure you know, they are not forged like your Nismos. But very light weight. If I had to guess, I would say those are 18s judging by the sidewall and gap. Not positive.

Your Nismos look(ed) a lot better IMO. Is your G RWD? Just wondering. Do you have to run wicked camber to get them to fit in the rear?

I'm in Sykesville BTW.

Not only has it been done, but the 18" RPF1 clears the BBK, if you ever upgrade. Someone here did this with pics about 3 years ago. Search and find.

I gave that rim serious consideration, being so incredibly lightweight. But there are so many wheels with more style to them, I passed it over.

Thanks man. Yeah I don't disagree that the Nismos look better. But my lower back is in pretty bad shape after an 18 wheeler truck totaled my Acura TSX a few years back.

My G is AWD (hence no BBK =( ) but also, I run a square set of fronts. 19x9.5 + 40 offset.

You're pretty close by and I plan on having some work done at APAC soon, we should meet up.

I'm pretty satisfied with my current brakes, only because I don't track my car and my current pad set up is more than sufficient for what I need. I'll consider the BBk upgrade in a year or two when I'm horribly bored with my car.

I agree about the style, but I'm also a pretty simple guy so I don't need anything too crazy.

Sucks, next time take Metro!

RPF1 looks nice to me, I'd suggest a silver finish for the nice contrat

Ha, thanks man. I probably will. I was in town for a firm holiday party and I temporarily live out of Richmond, VA and was spending the night at the hotel. I usually NEVER valet my car and 100% of the times prefer to self park, but this hotel in DC didn't have self park so I figured I would gamble with life.

I lost the gamble.

Thanks for the tip on APAC. I just spoke to them and they hooked me up with the guy who re-finishes their wheels.

I'll probably go with APAC for some of my G work since it's a lot closer than my go-to shop who I have a great relationship with.

Let me know when you are going by APAC and we can meet.

Thanks again,
Sean

That looks better in silver, just kind of raw and basic.

I agree on the silver.

I also live in Gaithersburg... surprised I haven't seen your G rolling around lol!

That looks really great. Those have to be 19s, though... I don't think there's enough sidewall for those to be 18s.

Yup. Definitely silver IMO. Would look good on VR. Show off a BBK.....Hmmm....

I'm more around Germantown/Clarksburg, and majority of the time living in Richmond, VA. I'm pretty much a lurker in the MD area. If you do see me in the area, you'll probably find me in NoVA haha. I'll keep a look out!
