Enkei RPF-1

Would someone please recommend a source with good pricing for the Enkei RPF-1 wheels in the 17" version. I currently have Centerline Excel wheels on my MCS, but would like to get different wheels and R-compound tires (probably Toyo RA-1) for track use. I'm going to stay with 17" wheels so there won't be any problem with the Wilwood big brakes that are coming very soon.:smile: Thanks...

i have been interested in these wheels for quite some time now and have been researching them and others. the 17x7 in 4x100 with 43mm offset just became available in 2004. if you check http://www.enkei.com call their customer service line and they'll tell you where either your nearest distributor is or a retailer near you. i hope you don't live near me!

I'm about 3k miles away from you, so it's unlikely our two cars will be at the local gas station at the same time .

The Enkei web site doesn't seem to have a customer service section; at least, I can't find it. I have done a Google search, but thought someone on NAM might have some specific info on dealers/distributors. BTW, do you know the weight of the 7x17 wheel? That figure isn't listed on Enkei's site. I assume it would be around 14+ lbs.

Nino is good guy. They're not on his website yet but he does carry them. I was going to order my 15" RPF1s from him before I decided to part with the car and he had a good price..

There are a couple dealers in Northern California and one in Nevada. I called, and they can get the wheels, as well as Toyo RA-1 tires. Package is a tad pricey, but may be worth it.

How about America's Tire? I just ordered Rota's through them, and their prices were very reasonable. A few bucks over internet prices, and $50/wheel less than what Schwab could do for me.
