I found the picture in the gallery. I am not sure what %, but it looks fuggin dark! haha

I put the wheels on the SC from the photo gallery.... I will go back and find the car and username, stay tuned.

BTW, if anyone has a good side shot of their SC and want to see what your SC looks like it just PM me with the pic and ill "get her done".

the chop on the black car makes them look like 20s. Being a -for lack of a better phrase- "boy racey" wheel design, not only are the RPF1s not made in twenties, but -in my opinion- they would look best in a more modest wheel diameter (is. 17" or 18") to give the car more of an athletic vibe. If you like them in their largest diameter and go with 19's, also do not expect your brakes to fill the wheel center nearly as well as in that photochop.

Obviously, this is just my opinion. Most of all, be aware that the other two photochops are closer to 19" wheels, the largest made in the RPF1.

If I were going to spend my money to get a superlight wheel, I would avoid going with a cast wheel and favor the forged wheels for the sake of durability. If you must go cast and favor the RPF1 design, might I suggest the Tracer wheel design by AME Wheels, a premium division of Enkei. They are of a slightly higher build quality, look mighty similar, and cost about the same amount while being a bit more rare, more durable, and still superlight (18lbs for an 18").

I guess 15%. Just a guess, though.

Personally, I'm not crazy about these wheels but on the other hand they look decent, I guess. I just personally wouldn't get them for my SC.
