Default Anybody running Enkei RPF1's????

I love that these are light weight and can be had in staggered widths. Just wondering if this is something that is going to hold up to street use??? Roads around in my area are pretty good, we don't have that freeze/thaw/pothole crap like up north. I really don't want to buy these and bend a rim within a week.

Love my enkeis

Not the RP-01's but no issues so far as far as quality and I am running very stretched tires.

PM this member below in this thread, he will tell you if they held-up. For reference, I've owned Enkei (RP01) rims since 2001 on my Sc with no problems.

That's exactly my car there. Pearl white, no spoiler, gold badges. Just noticing that nobody seems to be running a staggered width with these. I'm wanting a nice lip on the front wheels with a maybe 2 to 3" lip on the rears.

Nothing crazy or riciulous, I've seen some people with the 4 or 5" lip on the rear wheels with stretched tires, looks kind of retarded at that point.

BTW, my car has 62k miles, stock as a rock, always garaged, looks like a 1-2 year old car. I'm not "slamming" it or doing any suspension mods, rolling fender lips, or hacking it up in any way. I love the stock ride, nice and smooth. Just think that the 15" factory wheels are too small and the paint is starting to flake off them.

I have two of them on my recently crashed gs 2jz vvti t-67 :[. I only say two because I hit a 3ft long 4x4 piece of metal on the highway with the inside of the rear wheel and the wheel shattered sending me inti another car and center divider. The rims disingrated. I managed to only damage the body on my car and am in the process of swapping the motor trans ect ect into my new one. I'm replacing the two blown rims and keeping them. They are super strong as far as potholes go jsut dont hit a bumper support laying in the road and youll love them. lol
