Matt1878 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 As the title says guys... Looking for a set of Enkei RPF01 or some decent replicas of them!15" would be ideal but ill consider 16" too.I need too sell my Rota GT3's first so just seeing who has anything ..Matt
Amjad Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 They're on Ebay dude. If they had 7j in ET20 I'd probably buy them. If they were light that is, but I doubt they are!

Amjad Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Search for dare alloys, pretty sure they have them in 15
Matt1878 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 These the wheels corey has ?Yes mate possibly not the same offset I'm looking at but those wheels yes
daniel_g Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Powdercoat, should sort this shocking chrome effect. Reps, but, 15'' ET20 8J and cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-Deep-Dish-RPF1-Style-15-Wheels-Not-Enkei-Rays-MX5-AE86-Chrome-/181055318456?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item2a27bce9b8 Powdercoat and sorted
Matt1878 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I saw these aswell dude ... I don't know why but I just don't trust them... I'm all for the cheaper alternative but there is just something about them lol
morgey Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Them ebay wheels look just like a more dish version of my wheels but theres no markings in mine, an mine also came of someones Ep from japan. But enkei's have a wider spacing between the spokes to these or ^^^ themby the way these aren't for sale, well not unless i get a good offer lol
daniel_g Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I'd never trust reps either, the word tinfoil springs to mind lol. But iirc corey got them wheels from the usa and they are sooo rare its unreal, so if you want that style, reps will be the only way i reckon.
Amjad Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 It's the weight I wouldn't like reps for. A genuine set of RPF01s in black are one of my dream wheel sets
Matt1878 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 I want a white set .. Would 15" ET20 8J need any arch work?
Amjad Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I assume a fair bit, but EP91s are easy to work on (Coreys arches are pulled loads and it looks awesome). EP82s are a pain in the ass to roll in comparison because of the trim that needs cutting etc! My ET13 7j are very wide 0.5" past the outermost part of the arch, but I think my brakes push them out further making the offset much lower. Grid drifts are 16x8 et10 so you could probably make it seeing as others have done!
Matt1878 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Hmm, I haven't thought about having the arches rolled on my Glanza, what price am I looking at?
Amjad Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Got a quote of £135ish from Arch Enemy, but you can do it yourself a lot cheaper. I found someone to lend me a roller for £25/wknd
Matt1878 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Hmm, thanks for that Amjad.. Might have to look into that if I go for that kind of offset...I saw these that Idrees has ...Dare 15" 7j ET40No work would be needed for these and they are a good price too!
Amjad Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Those look decent, if I was to buy them myself I'd prefer an ET20 offset. That's about the limit without having major scrubbing issues
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I can supply Genuine Enkei Wheels if you want a set Matt, they're not cheap but they're awesome Cheers Mike JonesTuning Developments Ltd
TrisK Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 My ET13 7j are very wide 0.5" past the outermost part of the arch, but I think my brakes push them out further making the offset much lower. Grid drifts are 16x8 et10 so you could probably make it seeing as others have done! I dont like to cause arguemnts, but i have to correct you here Offset is relative to the hub, so it doesnt change the offset of the wheel. Your hubs might have moved, wich hasnt changed the offset of the wheel (how could it!). Instead its changed the offset that your car can run. But i wouldnt have imagined that the hub would have moved more than a few mm in comparison to a standard GT. Those look decent, if I was to buy them myself I'd prefer an ET20 offset. That's about the limit without having major scrubbing issuesThe difference in those wheels is also width, one is a 7 et40, one is an 8 et20. I dont think you can say et20 is on the limit of srubbing. a 10 inch wheel et30 isnt going to fit, but thats within the et20 limit! Its all relative to do with the width and offset, as that is exactly what offset is. The relative distance between the centre of the wheel, and the mounting face on the hub. Aaaaaaaaand breath.
morgey Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 It also depends on the tyres you plan on running, I've got some quite hi offset wheels 35-40 maybe, and the 195/50/15 AD08's i have scrub but the same size toyo t1r's didn'tBut yeah offset is dependant on the width of the wheel you could have an et-0 on a 2" wide rim and it would be fine lol yet the same wheel with et-50 would scrub. Bit extreme but yeah quite a confusing subject imo lol
TrisK Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 But yeah offset is dependant on the width of the wheel you could have an et-0 on a 2" wide rim and it would be fine lol yet the same wheel with et-50 would scrub. Bit extreme but yeah quite a confusing subject imo lolExactly, in the example above 15x8 ET20 Poke: 81.6mm 15x7 ET40 Poke 48.9mm So 35ishmm more of poke

The relative distance between the centre of the wheel, and the mounting face on the hub.Aaaaaaaaand breath. Lol you know what I'm trying to say here. My point is due to my brakes being thicker or whatever it pushes the wheels out And I was referring to preferring an ET20 in specifically the one Matt posted later, the 15x7. Going from pictures and what other people have said in that size and offset it wouldn't scrub much. I wasn't talking about having any size in ET20 lol
Matt1878 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 This has all got very complicated ... Haha Something a little deep and 15" would be nice ... The Dare reps are the same offset of my GT3 ... I would prefer something a little deeper but also like the ET40 ...
